All the rental cars I have had since owning the FRS - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Yruyur · 01-10-2013, 08:34 PM

So everytime I get a rental because the frs is having issues of some sort I make an effort to try a new car out. Here is my list so far.

Tc
XD
XB
Tacoma
Prius - took it to autocross lol
Iq - by far the most entertaining one to be in
Camry

Im thinking im going to try the Tundra next hehe

Kinda learning what people mean by the cheap interior. The xd xb and iq all seemed the same inside. Cheesy and plastic.

At least the frs has a great feeling steering wheel and shifter.

I like putting messages on the boot up screen for the stereo.

The Scions all have a cheap interior for a reason. It is what keeps the cost of the car down. Personally I like the cheap interior's (have an xA, gen 1 xB and the FR-S) they are more of an 80's throwback. I would rather have something that is cheap if it breaks and way easier to customize then a full luxury interior. Some things in cars today are just beyond me. "Lets make this seat swivel and move 6 ways so when it breaks a new one cost twice as much and takes longer to get in stock". 20 things in an interior have a higher percentage of fail rate then having 5 things in an interior.

The View and Opinions of this post are soley mine and not geared to anyone in the thread or the forum! Just car manufacturer's in general.

Rant done!
