Toyobaru own the Speedhunters Poll - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Speedhunters generously lays out all of the popular $25k new sports car contenders that are hot right now. From the Golf GTI up through the Gen Coupe, its a good list.

Looks like the 86 is just running away with this poll. Heh.

I bet you can guess what I voted for. :3

Well, in reality, it is the best "sports car" in that price range. Few frills, and originally engineered for the sole purpose of being a drivers oriented car. The GTI and Focus ST are great cars, but they are just hot hatches of the normal boring version, dispite how good they can be. The Mustang V6 is an impressive value, as is the Genesis 2.0T coupe... but they simply aren't as focused. I'm sure they'll make great drivers, but for the sole purpose of actually driving, it's no wonder the FRS/BRZ walks away.

I can't wait to test drive one. I'm holding off buying a new car because of the FRS/BRZ, and might end up with one.

I tend to frequent many car blogs and Speedhunters posted a poll of which $25,000 car the readers would choose over the rest... I think you can guess the answer but I find it refreshing that a blog not dedicated to the Toyobaru is showing that same type of enthusiasm that we have over here.

Jeez. Right now taking over at 66%. Slightly second place was the GC at 10%.

Dude, BRZ/FR-S is killin' it! Nice! :happy0180:

switchlanez · 05-12-2012, 01:10 PM

It has more votes than all the other cars combined.

naticedog04 · 05-12-2012, 02:30 PM

66% of all votes have gone to the frs... Sweet

Brian S · 05-12-2012, 03:01 PM

Surprised the ST isnt getting more votes as that would probably be number 2 on my list..
