Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ

[gav91183]

Has anyone drove one of these yet? I've noticed some dealerships starting to get them in and was thinking about going at looking at one. If you have seen/drove them, what are your impressions? I kinda like the way they look and supposedly I've read they handle well.

The only commentary you're going to get from the savants on here is that they only have 200 HP and thus cannot possibly be worth owning.

your probably right, but they look like a fun car that would get better gas mileage than my ws6. plus a high 13/low 14 second 1/4 mile is not bad for 200hp along with the 30mpg when I drive 90 miles round trip to work everyday

1/4 mile times were off on one of the C/D articles i read. its closer to a 14.7-14.9

YEAH

That's a sexy FR-s!

I'd wait and pray they come out with a STi version. Either way I'd buy the Subaru version.

Suppose to about as fast as a SVT Focus.

car and driver had both rated at about a 13.7-14.1

EDIT.. they had it wrong on one of their articles. found it on their subaru article and its 14.7-14.9

I'd take the BRZ all day over the FR-S.

Nice writeup on the differences between the cars:

Cool little cars, but they're priced wrong.

Fuckin' A.

They look like they'd be fun to drive, and I do like the looks, but I need a V8. This is amurica!

Lsx swap.

After reading this, I want the BRZ. Everything he likes about the FR-S, I hate.

Only thing I like about the frs is the front bumper. Everything else I like about the Subaru. May go test drive them both next week just to check it out
