Excellent Vehicle :))

I, think I really appreciate having this kind of car. It's fun, and it's reliable transportation. I, like many features about it. Sport car look, performance wise is fast enough. Handling is awesome. Toyota and Subaru did a fantastic job with the design and build of these cars.

Most reliable car I’ve owned.

Toyota and Subaru make a good team. Being the top 2 brands for reliability it is nice to see their work put into this car.

Sports car - almost a track ready race car

Eye catcher; relatively rare on the road. Well supported and reliable. At 50.6 inches tall and under 14 feet long the car feels like it is running on rails. Really well bolstered seats add to the "one with machine" experience. Car goes where your eyes look when you're intense. Great brakes are the most important feature in a sports car. The FR-S (BRZ and Toyota 86) have great brakes! for an under 3k lb car. In its stock form it is powerful enough for most of us. If you must have more power, find a reputable speed shop that specializes in small engines, spend as fast as want to go and you will have it all. A beautiful car that almost looks exotic, great quality that is well supported.

Do not buy this car

I was about to purchase this car, the carfax they provided was bogus and did not list all the issues. Some reflectors fell off when I touched them and the front bumper was not aligned to the vehicle. All this while they told me the carfax report was reported erroneously and that all defects were fixed.

Fun and Inexpensive Sport Car

The car is fun to drive. It has lots of power for a 4 cylinder, and it gets decent gas mileage. This is a sports car on a budget.

Favorite Car I have owned

I have owned 11 different vehicles in the past 18 years, most of them high performance vehicles and this was by far the funnest car to drive. Handles great, sticks to the road, interior is VERY comfortable and visually very pleasing.
