Love this car! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just want to say this car is without a doubt MY CAR! Beautiful exterior appeal. Balanced. The interior has stripped feel which is lovely(hate buttons and technology). Tap into that ECU a bit and the car just wakes up. The engine sounds raw. Cars that cost 10 (and more) times as much just stare. Sorry just had to rant. Just love this car. I purchased many cars that are "faster" but it doesn't touch how fun this car is.

^what he said

Is it just me, Vlady, or do you feel like I do, that every time you drive this car it seems like it was designed just for you? It's exactly the car I wanted, and somehow they built it even before I knew what I wanted. Amazing.

Ladies, please change your pants.

Congrats on your purchase, Vlady!

I was passenger in mine for the first time today and it was a weird experience. My gf was driving it for the first time and after just a few minutes I was like "Damn, does it feel this awesome for you to sit over here?" and she definitely agreed. She drives an '05 2.0 Jetta and the FR-S is a tad "fast" (her word) compared to what she's comfortable with.

Sorry to get kinda off topic but my first ride as a passenger in my car today definitely woke me up to how awesome it really is!

Really? Where did you find her? My wife positively freaks out when I drive, she's definitely not in agreement about how awesome it feels. Her comment is more along the lines of "Do not EVER do that again while I'm in the car!" Her reaction is usually immediately preceeded by me saying something like "Watch what this car can do around this corner!" I wonder if it's a coincidence

FloridaFRSdriver I agree! I have driven so many cars and they just didn't feel right. My girlfriend freaks out when I drive because once this little car gets momentum then that's when the fun begins. Also seeing her reaction to drifts is amusing

Well, FloridaFRSdriver, your wife and mine must have been cut from the same mold ....

I figure it this way, when I was driving our open top roadster (Miata) with no nanny systems, waaay up in the mountains, she figured if we went off the road, she would just get killed. Now, with a coupe, nanny systems and up-teen airbags, if we went off the side of a mountain .... she would just be messed up the rest of her life.

So, to preserve her sanity, she has quit screaming and just closes her eyes ....

Just an FYI: they positively absolutely do not, will not, can not, no way, no how... Change after you marry 'em...
