It is a small car that anyone can have. The only issue, car parts are expensive!
The fr-s is a sports vehicle with not too many luxuries inside. The mechanical parts are pricey, I am always told because of the type of sports car it is, and it uses a lot of gas. It looks extremely nice but it is been a high maintenance vehicle for me. Something so small as an oil change (uses synthetic) is about $80 in Texas. I am happy with my car but I wish I knew how pricey it would cost me to repair it. Also the tires are about $60 each (used ones).

The scion FRS I bought was probably the best decision I have ever made.
My vehicle runs smoothly, the seats are very comfortable and it is just overall great for a daily car. Worth the buy! I am so glad I chose the scion FRS. The maintenance for this car is that much. I also love how I do not have to worry much about the wear and tear.

Gas mileage, sound system, performance.
My 2015 scion is perfect in my opinion love the way it drives, the sound system it comes with is a lot better than other newer cars, good on gas and it actually has a lot more space inside then you would think it has if you just look at it from the outside.

The headlights have been upgraded to led lights as well as a backup camera.
It has comfortable red and black headlights with color changing led lights on in interior as well as on the exterior. Added backup camera. It is also an automatic. 4 cylinder boxer engine. It is a rear-wheel-drive. It puts out 200 horsepower. However it does have a tiny rear and trunk space but it makes a good sports car.

It is super stylish, and comes in a lot of colors.
It is super fun to drive, is really fun to drive on windy roads, not the fastest but fast enough. Might want to get a clear bra for the front with how low it is. No engine troubles so far, it is super sleek, super head turning, and you will smile seeing it every time you go out to the car.

It's small and many people in their large SUVs (because their line of sight is the horizon) do not see it until it is almost too late.
I love that it has great sporty pickup. I hate that it is not totally hands free when using my phone or ipod. It handles nicely on the hwy, in traffic, and on a long trip.

Fr-s I love it. Some pros and cons in my eyes of buying a FRS.
I love this little car. I can get in anywhere and do not have to worry about anything. 1 thing I do not like about the car is when I am driving around town running errands on a hot Texas day the ac does not really blow cold unless I keep driving. Other than that this is the best car so far.

The scion fr-s is my best car.
It is a little compact, but it is an amazing car. It has the feel of an affordable sports car. It is a great vehicle. Some problems would be that there are not a lot of modifications available to add on and the dashboard sometimes pops up with the heat.

It was affordable good value.
The car is too small and too low to the ground. It gets good gas mileage and was a good price. My back hurts when I get out of it.

Thrilling spirited driving at a surprising value.
First thing that struck me when sitting in the fr-s was how accessible all the features were, like a cockpit. From it is ergonomic handbrake location to the bucket seats that hold you snugly in place while still being comfortable enough for a long drive it really felt like it was built to drive. The suspension is nice and tight, lending itself to effortless cornering that does not roll. From a mechanical standpoint, the engine bay is clutter-free with easily accessible parts and simple to service. 10/10 I would buy again. A real head-turner.
