Subaru BRZ or Scion FR-S?

[guoqing]

Okay yes I am a chick and I will admit I don't know everything there is to know about cars, that's why I hang out with the guys so I can learn a thing or two and be around the nice rigs, but I am looking into these two cars and just wanted feedback on them before I made the purchase!

Same car mechanically. Pick the one with the features that suit your budget and priorities.

Well they're both basically the same car driving wise, except for springs I hear, but it shouldn't really make a difference to differ you from buying one from the other. The front bumper is the only thing different from the outside as well, so decide which front end you like better. Some like the BRZ better, some like the frs better..
The base models for both cars are different as well, the frs does not come with navigation standard, the BRZ has it on base models, which is part of why they are more expensive

You get more with the BRZ, which is why it's costlier. But you can also add on the other options with the frs..
I would reccomend getting a used BRZ personally. The HID headlight's and navigation is worth it. BRZ if you want world rally blue color as well

Flip a coin, heads - brz, tails - frs

Can I ask something? Are you still located in China? I don't recall the Scion marque branching out there. You should be looking for a Toyota GT86 and not the Scion FR-S if that's the case, unless you're importing one for some reason.

Since you asked for the FR-S vs. BRZ, the main differences between them are mainly the looks (headlights and front bumper mainly) and the badges. The suspension was at one point different, but starting with 2015 IIRC, the FR-S suspension is more tame. Unless you were to pick up a special edition FR-S (i.e. Monogram), you can only get HIDs, dual climate control, push-start, etc. on the BRZ Limited. The BRZ Premium is pretty much identical to the FR-S (without the aforementioned features) except that it still has HIDs.

Oh yeah, the FR-S has an exclusive Hot Lava color, while the BRZ has the trademark World Rally Blue exclusive to it. The FR-S has three additional colors exclusive to special editions: 10 Series Silver Ignition, RS 1.0 Yuzu Yellow, and the upcoming RS 2.0 Desert Storm, while the BRZ has a special edition Series.Hyperblue with paint of the same name, as well as Series.Blue editions the prior year, but with only World Rally Blue or Crystal White Pearl (not exclusive from other BRZs).

A chick said I am a chick,,so rare. (For some reason, I think its funny.)

Your drives statues already determine what you gonna drive. JK

Both same exact car, just different badge, different bumper.
I personally like BRZ WR BLUE, and the baby blue.
However, i purchase a 10 series cus it has Brz limited options but with FRS aggressive front bumper.

One brand it seems has better customer service than another, being that your a chick and, Im making a bias statement,..... I'm thinking your not going to be doing any work on it yourself......I would go with the brand that treats its customer best in the service department.

We really don't need to know or care if you're a chick. Why even bother mentioning it?

If you want to know about cars, you can research with the internet on your own time. Hanging out with people is great, but the magical land of the interwebs has a plethora of information at your disposal.

As for the difference between them, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=difference+between+2015+brz+frs

If you don't care for driving feel and maybe pushing the limits of the car a bit don't buy it; it's likely you'll end up with buyer's remorse.

You say to get the one with better service but not which one that is? Service can be just as spotty between the two anyway it isn't a brand thing it is a dealer thing.

There's no Scion in China.

Depends on whether the OP wants an inferiority complex or not. If yes, the FR-S it is!

FRS has stiffer springs, BRZ has nicer updated interior. FRS has logo on the side, BRZ doesnt, BRZ has a longer side vent, FRS has a tiny one. I think maybe the BRZ has a different front on it, or so I read.

Drive them both, make a decission then. I only had to drive the FRS once and it blew all my indecision away. I didn't even want to go look at the other cars I had in mind, actually one was sitting right beside the FRS (370Z) but the FRS blew it away in looks. 370 would have been faster but it is a heavy car.
