Complimented on my FR-S
I have been given nice compliments about my FR-S. But not much so by younger people. Most were by those who actually were older, 50s, 60s in age, saying "Nice car", "Beautiful car."
I'm not young myself, so when an older person recognizes my little ol' Scion sports car as being nice, it puts a smile on my face.

I don't get that many compliments on my FRS which is strange but maybe because it's Argento (Silver) and not something that stands out more. The ones that I do get are really funny or much deeper than a one liner such as, "Hey, nice car."
I remember parking my car and once I got out I heard some tires coming to a screeching halt. Then I heard someone yelling. I didn't think it pertained to me so I didn't look immediately but my wife got my attention and said that someone's probably trying to talk to me. I turned to see someone in a Civic Si (Late 2000's model) shouting "Hey man, I LOVE YOUR CAR! That's my dream car right there!" I replied with "Let's trade sometime but you gotta take the payments with you!" I heard him rip up the e-brake and step out. "Here you go!" I chuckled and gave him the thumbs up. Another time I got complimented was at a gas station when an NB Miata pulled in to pump some gas. I was leaned up against the car and turned to him to say "I love that generation Miata." He then went to say that he really wants to get an FRS sometime in the near future. This ended up in us having about a thirty minute conversation on why I chose the FRS over the BRZ and me asking him if he had seen the new Miatas. Car people are awesome. |

Even though this car is aimed toward the younger demo. it's apparent that it has captured the old school longing of rear wheel drive to those of us who only drove/had them. That is the top reason I got this car. It's just a joy to drive.

Been weeks since there was a good one and tension is mounting.

I get more compliments on my 10 Series (Silver Ignition) than I ever did in my whiteout.
Multiply that by 10 now that I have nice wheels. |

It's true. I don't know why. I always thought a pearl white looked 10x better. Granted Silver ignition has grown on mea lot more now that I own one and I prefer it to the white personally.. but generally people go apeshit over a nice pearl white which is why its suprising to me that everyone likes my 10 series better.
