I believe the most important thing about this car (and to those who are considering it) is that overall, it's fun to drive.

Fun, sporty car. Nice design and body style. Not as much pickup as previous car on the low end, but still fun to drive.

It is always fun to drive on a morning commute, at the track, and on long trips.

I love the performance and feel of driving the car. The looks are amazing. The only complaints are I want it to come stock with wider tires/wheels and a little bit more power. Other than that it is an amazing platform.

Scion is a nice sports car that is super comfortable to ride in and luxurious.

I drive a scion frs and is a really comfortable car. I am able to fit anywhere and find good parking most of the time. The driving performance is amazing and drives fast when you need it to. Gas mileage is not bad at all. Depending on where you put gas or how high gas prices are, I generally spend about $40 a week driving 75 miles roundtrip. The scion frs comes with a back camera that turns on when reversing with is convenient because the camera can Focus out pretty far. The only thing I wish my scion had is the tuning and volume button on my steering wheel but other than that I love it.

I Love my FRS scion 2016. ??

I have the FRS scion 2016 and I absolutely love my vehicle gas saver, reliable haven't had any problems with it so far, I had it since 2016. The only thing is I wish it had leather seats instead of cloth but easy change.. Also this car is good for someone single no kids due to the back seats you can't fit anyone back there.

A cool, fun car that feels more expensive than it is!

It's a zippy car with excellent handling which was exactly what I wanted it for. I get a lot of compliments. I got the raven black color, and even though it gets very hot (over 100 degrees) in the summer where I'm from, the material inside the car doesn't burn me, a huge plus.

The lifestyle of the scion FRS.

This is a very fun to drive car. But internally it is pretty small on the inside. Although it can legally fit 4 in the car. This car is more fun to drive with stick shift. There is two models, stick or automatic but it has a sport mode where you can use paddle shift.

Awesome sports car, but limited space.

Limited trunk space, navigation not available, limited cabin storage, seats could be more comfortable. It does drive smoothly, has decent gas mileage for engine size, awesome control and handling. I have a 6 speed which shifts smoothly and has great power.

Courtney C

It is very small but it is loaded.

I have not had any problems with my vehicle as of yet. I have had it for almost 2 years. I am currently very happy with my vehicle.

It is worth every penny if you are a car enthusiast.

My scion fr-s is a fun vehicle, not so many problems just keep up with maintenance and the oil changes, as far is performance it has a 2.5 4 cylinder engine and believe it or not it is pretty fun and enough power to get wild. Comfort I can say the seats do get uncomfortable after a long 1 hour or 2 hour drive.

The size. The suspension is very tight. Not that great gas mileage.

I love the way my vehicle looks. It has a black interior and exterior with tinted windows and a spoiler. I don't like the fact that it's so small. I plan on having a family, so it's starting to seem less practical for me. I was an awesome car when I was single though.
