This car was done by Toyota and Subaru Together. "Two major manufacturer's," First of all, I like these cars FRS and Brz. Both the same cars. Same parts. These cars are both fun to drive. Now about the FRS, it's a awesome car!!! I, bought mine new in 2013 and I still have it still today being 2020. Toyota had been very good to me. And yes, there are some recalls. Just go get them fixed. (They are free from Toyota)

I was looking for a fun sporty car as my daily driver and after doing my research I decided to test drive the FR-S. It is the perfect car for me (I'm 23) it is fun, fast, and so far reliable. The gas milage is also pretty good. I just have two complaints the first one is that I wish there were volume controls on the steering wheel the second is I wish it was called the Toyota 86 (like the rest of the world) but other than those two things I love the car and would reccomend it to anyone!

I owned a 2006 Scion TC that I bought in 2007. Loved that car and was searching the internet for more two door cars and the 2013 Scion FR-S came up and I was hooked. I went to my Scion dealer here in Kahului on Maui , Hawaii on May 25th . They told me the car would debut on June 1. I had to wait a week! June 1st, 2012 back to the dealer I went and three hours later I drove out with the "whiteout" color (not a good name for the color, it's a real pearl oyster white). I use ethanol free gas right now and get 35 mpg. I just love the way it "gets out of the way" of everyone else . I did get the automatic and won't be using the snow mode. And by the way I'm 67 yrs. old and LOVE my car

I, bought mine pre owned from the from the subaru dealership. My car already has a turbo kit installed from previous owner. Nice sounding exhaust system. So, my conversation review is excellent vehicles these are. I, like the comfort of these seats, and the interior is nice. This car handles very good, especially going around corners. Very tight suspension.. the engine feels smooth, and I really like the turbo sound. These cars are fun to drive!!

Fun, but very unreliable.

I bought this car 9 months ago from my uncle who worked at a Toyota dealership. I saw the car online, after being in the market for something new, and found this. Test drove it initially, loved it. It was spacious even for a big guy like me. It felt sporty, handled great, sounded great even with stock exhaust. I bought it. First few months were nothing but amazing. Ripping turns down a reservoir lake while still getting decent mpg, it was amazing. But then 4 months after I bought it, I started hearing issues. I started hearing a persistent knocking. Research and posting to forums led to inconsistent results, so I took it to my service station at the dealership. I should mention I did buy a warrantee. I took it in, they checked it out, and an hour later the service manager came to me and said that I shouldn't have been driving it since the motor could've blown up at any point. Two and a half months go by with me being stuck with a toyota corolla loaner, and I get a call saying it's ready. I go to the shop where that service manager told me they took apart the engine TWICE, took parts to a machine shop, replaced a lot of parts, and still heard the knock. That was that. He simply told me it's the fuel I used. I changed the fuel back to shell 93, as opposed to local gas station's 93. No luck. Used an octane booster. No luck. So I dealt with the knock. Two months later, I started hearing a grinding sound. Had it towed to the service station. Had to pay 750 bucks to get my stock exhaust put back in so they could properly diagnose the issue. Then they told me they're taking apart the engine AGAIN since they heard a knock. Not the same knock I've heard for 6 months at this point, but a completely different knock. Now here I sit, with a toyota rav 4 loaner looking at new cars. As fun as the Scion Frs is, it's just been so problematic for me. I couldn't do anything.
