What do you love the most about your FR-S?
I have to say I love the incredible balance/well roundedness of this car. I've had quite a few special cars over the years, and this one is definitely my favorite -- it just does everything well as my DD.
So this morning I'm coming around a wet corner feeling the liveliness of the chassis and stock tires telling me all kinds of goodness, and I decide to goose it a little to see what would happen. Rear end kicks out, cars tracks perfectly around the corner, and I proceed on my way with a huge smile on my face knowing that buying this car was definitely the right move for me. Thant's what I love most about my FR-S... |

No other car matches it for the money.

What don't I love about my FR-S...
Hell, I even like having the crickets, seriously. I don't start hearing the chirping until my engine oil temps have reached (or exceeded) the standard operating temperatures, letting me know when I can and can't get on the throttle or run through the powerband. Although, once I get Torque Pro up and running, I won't need to rely on the mechanical insects, but still. I can't really pick one particular thing that I love about this car because there are too many to choose from. All I have is love for my baby

However i do love this car more than the cons. My previous car was and rx-8. Loved that car, super smooth, great handling, unique looks, rare on the streets, and not your typical straight four. Only down side to that was the 16mpg LOL. 45$ for gas every 5 days from just driving to school. Now i get all that with my fr-s but i pay 32$ driving to school (15miles 1 way) Driving to work (4miles 1 way) and driving to the gym (5 miles 1 way) all in the same day 5 times a week. I can drive it hard and i get gas every tuesday. 29.1 avg mpg, 35mpg freeway traffic and 27 local. It has everything my rx-8 had and good gas mileage too. And i grew up on toyota cars. Wanted a toyota sports car for so long but never wanted to pay over 10 grand for a used supra =P. This one definitly answered my needs perfectly. |
