Anyone have an FRS/86/BRZ
 

Hi everyone. I am thinking of getting an FRS in AT(yes I would like to get the MT but this is for the wife). I read that the AT is supposedly very good.

Scion FR-S Forum | Subaru BRZ Forum | Toyota 86 GT 86 Forum | AS1 Forum - FT86CLUB - View Single Post - Still can't decide on AT or MT for your first FRS/BRZ? This may help...

I have the Z in AT as well and I was wondering how the FRS AT compares to the ones in our beloved Z?

Thanks guys! :tup:

From the description in your link, it sounds like the "hidden" mode after holding in that button for 3 seconds would be equivalent to the Z's 7AT M-mode + VDC OFF like you'd use on a track, whereas "Sport" mode would just raise the shift points a bit but still be "automatic". It's probably comparable, but can't be sure without confirmation of technical details (like whether it does full lockup in the torque converter, and whether the shift times are comparable).

do a search, there is a BRZ A/T guy on here that is looking to sell his.

I did the work for you. Here you go: Selling-my-13-subaru-brz

I love my frs. It's not as claustrophobic inside as the z with those tiny windows and i love the balanced handling that is very predictable. I need a backseat for my daughter that rides with me once and awhile so that's nice. It lacks power though in stock form of course but its not that bad. I plan to boost it shorty as I did with my z to solve that. I would probably pick a boosted frs over my boosted z just cause of the way the car feels and needing a back seat.

Try again.

That's what happens when you sell the Z.

I read in a review that the automatic in the FR-S is derived from the Lexus IS-F; So, that would be able to handle power and have quick shift times. Sounds like a good alternative to the manual. Maybe slightly less involving

Couldn't consider this car till the BRZ turbo comes out.

Is it just rumor there will be a Turbo version . ? .
