Traded in my MK6 GTI for the FRS!!

Well, as the title says I am a new owner of a WhiteOut FRS

Wow is this car FUN!!!! I cannot wait for my first track day! (and yes the lack of torque is noticeable).

I need to order toyota all weather matts, shark fin, toyota badges, arm rest and... I think that is all.

Any recommendations on which company shark fin to buy?

Welcome to the club.

However, I don't think I could ever give up the 2.0T if I had a car with it. I really love that engine.

That TSI 2.0 is a great motor with a lot of INEXPENSIVE potential for power.

That being said, I was getting bored of just going fast in straight line, and by fast I mean going as fast as a stock GTI can go.

In one night of hooning around the FRS has made me laugh and giggle like a little school girl. GTI never did that.

Haha I had a moment where I wanted to trade my frs in for a GTI...
'Twas only a moment though

The GTI is a fabulous car though.

GTI is great car, just boring. Very nice interior, refined and comfortable.

GTI's are nice, but you're gonna feel like you have something special now in your garage.
