trade 37k, 2010 base for 2013 Scion FR-s with 17k

ZeeBabar · 03-13-2014, 10:37 AM

Would you trade a 370z Base with 37K miles for a Scion 2013 FR-S with 17K miles? The local dealer is offering the Scion FR-S, listed at $2275.

reading their forum everyone is hating on the Z... but then again were all hating on the FRS.

From a non-owners standpoint of view:
I'd hate to step on the gas and have the prius next to me keep up. Theyre cool looking little cars, and I wouldn't mind owning one to TT and throw around at the track. But I could never take them fully serious. It's like a teenagers car and kinda reminds me of those matchbox concept cars you can but.

yep, i think it's a great wannabie sports car for dd-ing around town. if one throws in a TT, it's waay over priced. better just getting another car.
they can hate all they want, but the reality is that their car is slow in real world driving.

I mean, $2275 is a steal

Why not just pay cash for it... LOL jK.

But seriously.. Id take a 370z with 105k over an FRS with 105 miles on it ALL day. There is no comparison. Unless you want to spend 10-30k on the FRS to make it just as fast and as sexy

Agree $2275 is a bargain. Then again 17k miles is a bit high IMO.

Would not trade.

Agreed. It's a bad deal all around. I'm assuming the OP meant $22750, which means he's buying a used car for $3-4k less than a new one. And getting rid of a car that's better in every single way except cost of ownership.

hadokenuh · 03-13-2014, 11:20 AM

I say it depends. The VQ engine is very nice and powerful but you will run out of road or exceed the speed limit at 3rd gear. So IMO it's less fun than the FRS which you'll have to work the engine to get power out of it. The FRS is definitely slower though!

Chuck33079 · 03-13-2014, 11:22 AM

So the knock on the Z is that it's too fast to have fun in? That's the best complaint you could have with a vehicle.

Lol don't get me wrong. The Z is a great sport car, and I am not bashing it (I had one and sold it but may get another one in a year or 2). What I meant is with the Z, you'll be running out of road much faster than a BRZ/FRS (or any other lower HP sport car) unless you are on a track. It's more fun for some people who like to work the engine to get the most out of it. If the OP is one of those, he might find the FRS more fun.

It's the same reason there is a huge Miata crowd. The car is girly. Yes. But there is also a huge fan base.
