2013 Scion FR-S -

I truly love this car. I planned from the start to run it into the ground and I still plan to do so. Your affordable "sportscar" that isn't a Miata. The power in the stock version isn't the best, but boosting options are abundant. No real mechanical trouble and has been running strong since purchase. Despite little to no back seat and trunk storage, the car holds a surprising amount of cargo.

Story

Loved taking it on quick road trips. It handles really well, and with the supercharger it is quite zippy.

Pros

It is attention grabbing, reliable, and an overall good purchase. ItÕs one of the few cars still available with a manual transmission thatÕs also affordable. I love the way the car looks. It has smooth lines and has an aggressive feel.

Cons

The only main things about the car IÕm not fond of are mostly visual and menial enough that itÕs not significant. Most of which, if I truly wanted to, I could switch out for an aftermarket piece. Specifically, the radio system isnÕt the greatest. I wish it came with something a little more interesting and streamlined to fit in with the car. The orange-feel to it seems out of place with the interior of the car, too. The dashboard can be a little tackyÑI donÕt mind too terribly, but sometimes I wish it was a flat black.

2013 Scion FR-S - Excellent, Sporty, Affordable Vehicle

An absolutely incredible car for the price! Sporty cars of this style are normally very expensive and out of many people's price range, but this car is definitely affordable. With excellent handling, surprising amounts of trunk space, and overall sporty and clean look, people still stare as the car drives by even though it is three years old!

Story

Driving through the mountains in the spring in Denver, Colorado was a lot of fun and absolutely beautiful. I'd strongly recommend the trip!

Pros

One of the best things about this car is the price! You cannot find sporty cars that drive this well and look this good for under $30,000. The car is very light with excellent handling, which makes it great to drive through mountains in the summertime. There is also a surprisingly large amount of room for storage in the trunk for a car of this style.

Cons

This car is not a car I would want to drive anywhere there is snow or ice (even though there is a snow traction setting) as the car's lightweight nature makes it very difficult to keep on the road and control. The only other major con is that while there is a back seat, but it is very cramped, even for average size adults. It is definitely not a car I'd use for regular commuting for more than two people.
