Your ideal 2 car setup (1 being your FRS)

I currently own an e85 tuned and 4.56 final drive FRS with some other mods. Awesome car for a single bachelor but is honestly too loud to hold a normal conversation and suspension is a tad bumpy.

I'm looking for an under $80000 car that compliments the FRS and not replaces it. Any ideas? I was thinking the Macan Turbo or Audi RS7 used maybe even a ct200h. Excited to hear what you guys have in mind.

Two cars in my garage right now is the s7 and frs. I can tell you that the s7 has been a bit of a heartache. I dread the day when warranty is out. My wife loves to keep things we pays for so s7 is going to be there for a long time...

Honestly, buying the s7 is the single biggest regret I have ever spent money on.

I would go with a small SUV or sport sedan. I have never driven the BMW M2 or Audi RS3, but those come to mind. Q3 or '18 Tiguan Rline is on our list for the wife, but that is very sub $80k. My other vehicle right now is a Ducati, so the BRZ is the comfy car.

@jaorocks1

If you need something for utility as a compliment to your FR-S, make sure it has plenty of it (utility that is). Get something that has a big cargo opening, good value for the money, and is upgradeable/tuneable or has lots of stock performance.

For those reasons, I'd say the Macan, Lexus CT, and really any sedan are either too small, not functional enough and/or too expensive to be a good companion car for an 86.


Dirt Cheap, functional, upgradeable
Honda Fit, Civic Hatchback $20-$25k
Kia Forte5 SX -$25k

Functional, but not too big, upgradeable
Chevy Colorado/ GMC Canyon either in crew cab -$30 - 35k
Jeep Grand Cherokee - $35k - $50k

Fast, Unique & Functional
MBenz GLA 45 AMG - $50K
Jaguar F-Pace S AWD - $60k
Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrofoglio - $80K (available in fall)

Used GS-F or IS-F would be a great complement

I went with a 1-year-old Scion xB--it isn't much to look at but it sure is functional and the combined cost with the FR-S is still less than a lot of SUVs.

My ideal setup would be my brz and a Toyota 4runner or 4 door tundra. My car is all the fun, but I can't haul wood home in it or carry more than 1.5 passengers.

I have a 4x4 Tacoma as my DD and The FRS for fun so I have the best of both worlds. Had 7 vehicles at one time and never again.

If I want a two car Toyota combo and one being the FRS, the other one would be a Land Cruiser with air intake snorkel for utility and SHTF scenerio.
