2013 Scion FR-S consumer reviews

This is just the perfect sports car. It has everything from unique styling to excellent performance. I have the Pioneer Bespoke radio in mine with the touchscreen. It is a 6-speed manual and is fun to drive.

I love this car! It reminds me of the MGBs and TR-6s of days past, but with good quality. Handles great, fun to drive and reasonably priced. You will feel the road, it's a sports car. Expect some road and wind noise, if this bothers you, get a Camry. Not super powerful, but good enough to have a lot of fun, even if you're just on an errand. Very comfortable, although the head rest needs improvement. The fuel guage can be hard to read if the sun is in the wrong position. These are minor issues...it's a great car for the money. With the man 6 speed I'm getting an honest 35MPG hwy cruising at 70-75 MPH. The stying gets lots of looks! I've had it almost 2 months with zero problems so far.

I love this car; it is sleek, sporty and goes like the wind.The drivers seat is more like a cockpit with all your instruments in front of you. You can switch from automatic to a type of manual transmission. there are several other categories like sport, ice to play with. You can change your display from mph to kmh; rate of gas consumption. and also set cruise control. the radio is fantastic and if you have the bluetooth option you can have no hands phoning, play your mp3 music, charge your phone.Getting in and out of the drivers seat is a bit of a challenge, but that keeps me limber....... I love this car!! You can see why.

The Scion FRS I've purchased as a first time buyer will show how much hard work I must go through. But on a better note I love this car like no other! Smoothe handling, quick and comfortable.

This cars will not meet everyone's needs. However if what you want is a small and speedy sports car that offers solid handling and great gas mileage (for a sports car) then this is the one to get! The exterior styling is beautiful in any color and while the interior finish could be better (the sound system unit is awful to look at) it does not detract from the beauty of this car at all.

I bought this car thinking I was getting a sports car; that was not the case. This car is cheaply built, the engine performance is dismal at best, and the handling- which every sports car enthusiast is interested in, is absolutely disappointing! I would recommend buying this car if you want to look like you know how to drive, but don?t buy this car if you are a true Sports Car Enthusiast!

most bang for the buck. I actually got to talk to ken Gushi in my life at longo toyota. And after talking from him i got to say everything makes sense. this car is not meant for speed. if you want a fast car get a mustang. but the mustang has no soul. this car was made from three really good cars and the biggest name is the Corolla gt. or ae86. or s13. It doesnt matter how many names the ae86 the point is that the ae86 was not fast but had really good handling yet was able to beat super cars like the nissan gt. "r32" for short. it was able to beat any car turn by turn. Ken Gushi told me that this car is meant to reward the driver because its all about the driver. no other car that i have driven has this same affect to this car. I love my Fr-s and every time i sit in it, I have a smile to my face. I will say it is not the perfect car, but then again their is no such thing as the perfect car. this car has small rear seats so that the insurance is not high. unlike the honda s2000 and the nissan 350z. Ken told me that this car is gonna be a collector car one day, and i agree with him all the way. if your a young guy that wants to have the time of his life, then i recommend you get this car. if you have 2 kids and a wife, this car is not meant for you, the beautiful things about cars is that you can test drive these cars for yourselves. so go to a scion dealership and get the same thrill i get every time i step into this car.

Beautiful handling. Good power. I thought I had gotten my love of sports cars out of my system until I saw the FR-S and its Subaru twin. The ride is stiff to support the handling, so if you want a turnpike cruiser look elsewhere. Owning a FR-S, you look for tortuous roads to test your skill - the car will deliver whatever you ask of it.

This is not the car for everyone. It is however, THE car for someone who loves the driving experience, more specifically curvy mountain roads and winding tracks. Toyota-Subaru absolutely nailed the handling and weight distribution on this car. The driver position, the controls (esp. the shifter in the manual trans) the central tachometer are all perfectly and intuitively placed. The interior is not luxurious by any means, but neither is it econo-box cheap. Soft touch materials abound, and even the stock sound system is very good. I have driven the 370Z, Miata, and Genesis Coupe, and none of those come close to matching the driving experience on this machine. I'm certain a Porsche Boxster or Cayman would surpass it, but that is simply not affordable to many people. Thank you Toyota and Subaru for making this vehicle.

Fun car, great price, for being an affordable sports car completely worth it. One problem in the interior is the lights conflict. HVAC lights are standard orange and all the others are red. :/ Also HID are not standard while with the BRZ they are.
