Chris Harris reviews the three cars on Drive. I'll reserve my opinion for now

.

Love Chris Harris. While he does hate on the Z a bit, he makes some valid points. However a lot of that can be improved with some basic mods.

Best show on the net right now

Did he just say a used Porche Cayman S is worth around 16-17k?

Where can I pick one up at that price? lol

w0rM · 08-15-2012, 10:01 PM

^ I was thinking the same thing... I'm sure they're much cheaper there.

I guess you could get the a Cayman with 80k on it for that? Maybe?

Why is he comparing grapes to apples to oranges

Similar price ranges.

buddyZ · 08-15-2012, 11:11 PM

wow he just basically completely bashed the 370Z, i mean i have issues with the car also but this guy is a joke. I understand the fr-s is respectable but the 370Z being quiet" and steering wheel not close enough are weak reasons not to have fun in it like he was saying. I'm sure some of you here can show him how to "push the car"

Cayman S LOL 60k

This guy seems like a retarded phaggot. He sounds like he's just jumping on the ft86 bandwagon and making unintelligent criticism against the Z

G35_FTMFW · 08-15-2012, 11:24 PM

I just dont see the point in this review comparing a Used 70k miles Cayman probably an older model Z and a BRAND NEW FRS?

Sorry this guy is an idiot, wonder how much Toyota paid him to do this review.

PharmDZ · 08-16-2012, 01:14 AM

I think people forget that the FR-S was designed specifically for its handling and driving characteristics. It has no straight line speed, and as he said, the interior is meh. The Z is an excellent all around car, but it's not going to drive as crisp around a track as the FR-S. They didn't put every ounce of the design/engineering into its handling. Can't bash him for that, but I do agree he goes a little hard on the car.

You sound like an intelligent individual.

Chris Harris is awesome. You can have a different opinion on something completely subjective and not sound like a twelve year old.
