2013 Scion FR-S consumer reviews

Only thing ypu need i a turbo and that's all, car is amazing endless amount of parts you can throw on it.

This car is perfect for making it how you want it. You can add so many features from its basic form to make it unique for your style. Corners are a breeze since it takes them like a champ! Snow is tough though for its rear wheel drive. I've gotten stuck a few times.

As everyone already know by now, this is a really fun car for the price. To be honest it's not the fastest car in this price segment, but the driving pleasure is very enjoyable. I've been commuting in this car for 4 years now and it's been so far so good. If you're looking for an enjoyable car you can drive everyday, this is the car.

For the price that you can get a scion frs it's very good. I'm young so I was looking for something nice and of course I love sport cars, I taught about a Nissan z but they only have two seats and the frs has more space and in my opinion it looks better.

Horrible experience, not recommended history reports are not showing valid info, reg fees are intensive

After 4 years and nearly 60k miles, this FRS has been the most reliable car I have owned in 20 years, as well as the most fun. Truly a driver's car and not something to brag over a stat sheet, the FRS is both a wonderful tool to learn how to drive a sports car and a weapon in the hands of a seasoned driver. The chassis is among the best on the market at any price, and it responds well to upgrades as your skill progresses. It can be a giant killer with the right driver. While it truly shines on back roads, autocross events and the occasional track driving day, It is also quite liveable as an only car. Mine does the full grocery run every week, drives a 55 mile round trip commute 5 days a week and through 4 seasons. With a set of dedicated set of winter tires, I'd take it in the snow over a s.u.v. wiyh a set of standard all-season rubber any day of the week. Aside from a small back seat, there really isn't much sacrifice here. It's a wonderful car that I like even more than I did when I bought it.

I still own a 2000 Celica GTS and a 1993 MR2 with upgraded suspension which are good cars to compare the FR-S to. I drive on mountain 2 lane roads daily and enjoy cars that corner well. The FR-S is different by being a modern sports car with traction control and ABS. Its quick enough with 0-60 in 6 seconds (I added the K&N cold air intake) to make it to the next corner and slow down before accelerating from the apex. Being old school I like the 6 speed. Car magazines say that automatics will rule the future and will be the only option. George Jetson will have a safe and boring ride. The FR-S is an affordable car that corners well and certainly has enough after market goodies to make anyone able to build a car to suit their needs. The Greddy site claimed over 700 hp on their modified car. The rest of us can make do but its nice that owners can aren't restrained in what they want. Handling is what I like about this car. It still has the original tires which are great for controlled power slides but I expect better cornering with performance tires. Except for the Miata, sports cars don't sell well but for those few of us who enjoy rear wheel drive, we thank Toyota/Subaru for giving us a fine modern alternative.

This car is for the price, the best sports car that can be purchased hands down. I've owned "Red Hotness" for 3 months and the car is simply irresistible from a design standpoint. The car sits really low to the ground, but it's not too low. The car is built to be modified so some of the fitment on the exterior of the car is a little large, but there's a large aftermarket for this vehicle already and there will certainly be more to come. The features are really nice, but it's not overly tech savvy so that one can really have a true driving experience. The feature I like the most is the automatic transmission. While in manual mode you can feel the gear change when shifting the gear selector and the paddles are located really well. I can see myself keeping this car for many many years to come.

This is by far the best car I've had in my possession. Perfect for that in between stylish car with great mpg average. I couldn't have asked for a better set up with the 10 series, not to mention the fact that it's also very affordable and worth every penny. 4 cylinder car with sports like handling and speed.

Having registered and driven 70 plus sports oriented vehicles in my life from muscle to the meek, I will say I have been waiting for a street appropriate vehicle of this driving level to return for many years. They got it 99% right. If you love the track, and want to stay safe on the street, buy it. it's bullet proof, and almost infallible. If you buy cars to drive your friends around, and say look at me and how cool I am, this is not for you. :)
