This vehicle is famous by 2 huge manufacturer's who made these cars happen. "Toyota and Subaru" They worked together to create the design, and aspects of these vehicles. Yes, these are awesome cars. They are comfortable inside. They handle really good. They get very good gas mileage for being a sports car. I'm always getting nice compliments from people. Also, if you have the 2013 FRS... They are number 1 first in line as the best year made.

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!!

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.

The car drove great until I hit 133,000 and had to replace the $7,000 engine on the $14,000 car. It got regular service done at the Toyota dealership and was never driven hard. The valve spring recall was done 1 year prior to failure, but the dealership said it was unrelated.

I have the 6 speed manual. There are 2 main problems with the car, the first being the severe lack of power. Scion claims this car has 200 HP, I beg to differ, it's lucky if it has 150. The acceleration is absolutely terrible, and the hesitation off the line makes the situation even worse. However, once it's in 3rd gear or later, it does get a little better. The other thing that bothers me about the car is the transmission grinds when shifting from 1st to 2nd, and from 2nd to 3rd. It doesn't happen every time, but happens enough to be severely annoying. The only redeeming quality of the car is the styling. It looks like a sports car, but that's where the similarity ends.
