Sure the FR-S is awesome, but do you miss your previous car? - Page 8 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I occasionally miss the practicality of my GTI. I often miss the power difference. I often miss the MPG.

But no, not really. I love this thing and really am happy with the switch.

I've only owned 4-cylinder imports my whole life.. the 86 just makes me realize everything my previous cars were lacking or subpar at.

I don't miss my Supras one bit, but I do miss my 99 Avalon. Ooooohhh, she was so so smooth and even with 230k miles, she never complained. The crazy shit I did with that car....

Miss my old Evo X when it snows but I'm loving the FRS

I rarely miss it except for when im with my friends and realize their cars a SO MUCH FASTER than the FRS and this was faster than all of theirs.

I definitely don't miss working on my car because i HAD to. Its nice working on a car only when i want to. It was nice when i was 18 but I feel like i outgrew the 240.

The FRS is so much more fun and much more reliable for track events.

I'm keeping my Celica as my daily driver and winter car

I miss the various turbo noises and the torque of my jzx100, but I don't miss how it felt to drive. I had both for a while and whenever I drove the chaser again, the lack of feel through the steering wheel really made my mind up on selling it. So much more satisfying driving the 86 even though its half as powerful.

You will pry the keys for my FD RX-7 from my cold, dead hands. I'm not getting rid of my baby. I love my FR-S, but the FD is my dream car.

My other cars? Don't miss them so much. I guess I miss my TT FJ Cruiser when I have to haul something, but my 323 hatchback, Sentra SE-R? Not really.

Atropine · 04-17-2014, 10:03 AM

I miss my 2 AW-11 MR2s...

I miss my SRT8 Challenger...

I miss the Boxster S...

Sometimes I miss my STI...

04 M3. Don't miss it at all.

ZionsWrath · 04-17-2014, 10:10 AM

My last car was a Honda Accord. I don't really miss it right now because I gave it to my sister and she has yet to get her license lol

The one thing I WILL miss when she takes it away from me, the ability to cruise 50 mph. I drive it to work 50-60 mph not a care in the world. Sure I'll goose it a bit around turns but that's it.

When I drive my BRZ I find I'm cruising 70 (already ticket territory in my area) and when I have the urge to get on it? forget it, if I get caught license suspension.

So I always contemplate buying a Yaris or something once she takes the car, but in the meantime I am grateful I still have it around

No. My e30 is still in the driveway ,just too many little issues that had to be addressed as my dd and not enough time. IMO the brz is everything my e30 is without the issues of a 27 year old car

Panda Mao · 04-19-2014, 10:52 PM

I miss my 240sx but the FR-S is like an upgrade from that
