2014 Scion Fr-s Monogram v.s 2015 Scion Fr-s - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Birdman · 05-21-2014, 08:20 PM

Hi everybody this is my first post on here. Ive been looking for a new car to replace my 1993 300D Mercedes. Love the car and still keeping it but always wanted something more sportier and fun to drive. Ive been looking and researching and saw the Frs and fell in love with everything about. Then saw there is a monogram series and knew this was the car for me. After much searching I finally found one with the color I want, Ultramarine. I told my friend I was thinking of getting it and he told me that the 2015 models were coming out next month. After reading about it, it has some nice upgrade to the suspension and shocks among other minor ones. Now i feel somewhat torn which one I should get. Would it be worth it for the extra 1000 or so for the 2015 and sacrifice all the monogram features? Any opinion and info on the pros and cons of both ill appreciate it. Thanks guys (sorry so long)http://www.ft86club.com/forums/images/smilies/23.gif

I'd go monogram as quickly as possible.

Personally I'd go with the monogram myself. Just order a shark fin and get that massive aerodynamic change -_-.

Great input.

Buy the Monogram. You can always mod the car later if you want to change the suspension. I love my ultramarine Monogram.

The 2015 model isn't anything special. The Monogram is the nicest FR-S option available.

NIN69 · 05-21-2014, 10:39 PM

I ordered a Monogram 2014 for the features. Personally it wasn't worth waiting for a 2015 model.

Monogram. Cant go wrong with it.

n0thing · 05-21-2014, 10:51 PM

Where I live it's almost impossible to source a new Monogram.

imom · 05-21-2014, 10:51 PM

Is it me...isn't the monogram just like a BRZ limited? Except you don't have the BRZ bumper and missing the keyless entry? I like the frameless mirror....but why not just get BRZ then?

The monogram is exactly like the BRZ except with a different head unit (better or not is subjective) and a different front bumper.

The monogram has the keyless entry.

I would go for the Monogram.

^i think it's as simple as the bumper for most people lol.
