Test Drove an FR-S today....

[azburnin]

All i can say is wow, i had my GF the salesman in the car with me and it boogied. I drove the crap out of it right before some dude bought it lol. It handled comfortably with its low center of gravity, i must say Toyota and Subaru and done a fantastic job!

Small cars...

Did make me miss my 88 Supra more... :frown:

 

[xrgilly]

seen them in action at an auto x last weekend fairly impressive

 

[azburnin]

It was very impressive stock, i cant imagine the aftermarket for them.

I have say, my girlfriend and I are looking at buying her one around early next year if there still around. Even though she will then be faster than me.

Test drove one yesterday. O.k. but not impressed by the automatic transmission. I'll wait for a manual to come along

 

[azburnin]

Yeah thats what i test drove was an manual, smooth shifting. Unlike our X lol. For the cost, and the thrill it provides i say its very understated.

 

[braves011]

I wish Subaru would hurry up and get theirs here!

 

[azburnin]

They dont? I'm curious to the actual "difference" people are saying about handling and if its worth it? because everything else is the same. unless the navigation unit is standard in their models

 

[trd_sport]

az now go test drive a subie and let us know if theres any differences you can tell

 

[azburnin]

lol i was thinking about it, but the process may not be worth it lol. It's not a terrible idea though lol

 

[hottacoX]

lol other than the front and rear bumper covers being different I am pretty sure both cars are assembled the same...:dontknow:

here is a vid of me test driving the FR-S at autoX

overall I liked the car but its still a small car, not about to run out a trade in the x.....

 

[redarkx]

+1 cone!

 

[nick_gz1]

How much are those running for?

 

[azburnin]

24k + 1,500 mark up for (Clear cover bra, and something else that i forgot at this moment)

Nice video BTW. It is a small car, it's not supposed to be purpose built for a lot of people to fit into it. It's not a grocery getter, its a sports car. I suppose yet if you wanted a bigger car over all there are many options for it.

To me it's worth trading in the X, its a great car. I love to do road course events and yes the X is fantastic for this however the reason i'm looking at the FR-S is built for this already. A few modifications and wammy i'm eating fools alive!

I'm thinking of getting a Black one, which they call Raven Black.
