The scion audio system is BOMB we were toying with it with the car on, car off, people all around and it was MORE than sufficient for a car of its size.

after sitting in the FRS at the NY auto show on Sunday, i hate to say that I have to give up my hopes of getting it...6'2 245 just wasnt getting in the car comfortably.. seats are great, car is great but my knees are practically touching the steering wheel..I tried to think thin and it still didnt work..lolmaybe I will wait till my order arrives at the dealer before making a final decision

you tried the regular radio with no sub or the tv version? maybe im too picky but this one wasnt cutting it for me. i worked at a nissan dealer and every fairly modern car that came in had a solid sounding system even the sentras but then again all of these cost more and are focused on comfort as selling points.

I'm 6'3", 240lb and fit just fine, even had to move the seat up.
Always always check the seat height adjuster. |

Best car at the auto show was the viper, nothing else. Besides that i sat in both the brz and frs and i can honesty say there is no point in backseats. No one and i mean no one (kids, friends) can fit back there. When you're in a comfortable position the front seat is literally touching the backseat. When i got in the back my feet were literally under the front seat with it barely being pushed back. The person who sat in front of me was uncomfortable too. So when you consider this car think of a two seater and not a car that will have backseats for when i really need them. Also the frs audio system sucked and so did bespoke from what i played with. Im 5'11 170lbs btw. Up front everything is tight and close together. Car is really snug but i like it.

I was there yesterday love the car I think the stereo is fine its small inside you don't need a lot of watts to fill it up, the trunk is big enough for me if I go food shopping enough space or a road trip with a few suitcases fits just fine. They really naild the form of this car.
the back seat has no use other than use as a trunk, I noticed the hood how light is because its made of aluminium. The engine is so low its really must be a very good cornering car, For the price its a great value! I can't really write anything new but whats been everybody saying I'm sure the ride must be stiff because the sitting position is low, when I drove my girlfriend Acura RSX years ago it was much more stiff ride than my TC if anybody could compare the rsx to the fr-s that would be great . |
