Poll: Is your FR-S more fun to drive, less fun, or the same? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

After 7,000 miles, and even having a few problems, I can say that I find the FR-S more fun to drive than ever. I know the reason, but I wanted to find out what you guys think. So here is a poll for those of you who have driven over 5,000 miles. If you can, say why you voted the way you did.

More fun.

For me its been about getting acclimated to driving a manual car. Now that i'm proficient, its much more exciting and rewarding to drive than any car i've had the privilege to drive.

kendalldwhite · 10-07-2012, 06:27 PM

more fun reason being, all the coating done to the interior and exterior. Also the plans i have in the future for the car..

Today was the first time I got a little sideways while making a left turn.

That was fun.

Ravenlokk · 10-07-2012, 07:11 PM

Way more fun because now its broken in and slipping all the 90' corners on the way to work is a lot more fun then keeping the revs under 4k all day!

It's more fun, as I've had time to bond with the car and learn its limits.

Muskokan · 09-21-2013, 08:06 AM

Definitely more fun, After the tranny settles in you really get a feel for it and don't have to worry about the gears not hitting right.

13,000 miles and it only gets better, In the beginning I had a degree of difficulty with the clutch pedal and throttle. The more I drive it the smoother it gets.

Khorne · 09-21-2013, 08:50 AM

10,500km, Got supercharged at 10,000km. So yeh it's even more fun.

DarkSunrise · 09-21-2013, 09:38 AM

More fun as I've bonded with the car, turned wrenches on it, and learned its limits through autocross & track.

2013FRSasphalt · 09-21-2013, 06:31 PM

More fun. Traded in my 370Z for one. Also insanely better gas mileage, lower insurance and way more compliments on the car. Oh ya, and the car doesn't randomly decide to freak out around corners like the 370 either.

leon78 · 09-21-2013, 07:04 PM

My car only gets more fun when there is a hooker and blow in it.

AVodka14 · 09-21-2013, 07:30 PM

More fun as time progresses. Been a great car thus far. Many plans for her in the future.

Every time I mod the car, it becomes more fun to drive.
