What do you think about the scion frs

dvo · 07-02-2012, 04:31 PM

Having driven both, they feel just about the same. The interior on the FRS is horrid though. I'd spend the extra money for the nicer interior, HID, nicer front bumper IMO too

Also, would you rather take your subaru powered scion to a scion/toyota dealer or your subaru powered subaru to a subaru dealer? If I ever had an issue with it, I would rather take my car to a place that knows the drivetrain, not one that's learning it. Just saying...

I thought the interior looked/felt pretty nice.

I thought it was well laid out, but cheap materials. But it could be a lot worse. The Camaro I test drove in 2010 literally had pieces of its interior peeling off.

You brought up an interesting issue. I've always wondered this since the car came out. Not like it's our concern anyway. lol. But you have a valid point. It's powered by Subaru except for the direct injection tech by Toyota (but DI is kinda a standard tech nowadays in most high power output cars...duh Toyota). Certainly if one buys a BRZ, Subaru dealers would definitely be the choice for services. For FRS owners, it would become ambiguous.
