BRZ vs. Focus ST - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

It's almost my sister's birthday and she's getting a car. She's deciding between the Focus ST and the BRZ. I think the BRZ wins hands down, but she likes the Focus...

If my sister was choosing between the two, I'd recommend the Focus. Not because it's better, but so I could borrow it if I need to haul furniture!

Focus st

I think a few magazines have done some comparisons with the FR-S and BRZ . Everyone agrees the FR-S is more fun but the focus is more practical. Kinda hard to argue the logic.

Focus.. if i was getting my daughter a new car, and those were the two choices.. focus all the way.. more room, space for friends............................ wait i remember what i was doing in the backseat of cars at that age... miata all the way lol

no really a focus would be the more practical choice

Here's the thing though. I get the car when she's done with it...

The focus is a fun car too.

My vote goes to the Focus...although the interior is almost seizure inducing it's so busy...I don't know if it's just from seeing it in pictures or what, but a fighter jet cockpit seems less cluttered...

hehe...cockpit...

Whatever she likes more, it's her car.

How old your sister, and how long has she been driving? I assume she's still a teenager, since adults usually don't get birthday cars.

My teenager, son or daughter, wouldn't get either. Both are too fast for a first car.

tell your sister to drive an '87 Corolla. that was my first car. #spoiled
