What owners say
"Overall, owners love the 2013 Scion FR-S for its fun driving experience, handling, and sporty appearance. Many appreciate its affordability, impressive gas mileage, and potential for modifications. However, some drivers have raised concerns about engine reliability in the 2013 model year, and a few noted issues with build quality and comfort in certain areas."
I would compare it to a Subaru BRZ and toyota gr86 because of the engine and style.
February 24, 2026Great looks, Very fun to drive, great handling, very low cg, great car for the money, not a family car though... it's an entry level sports coupe and well designed for it's purpose. Great project car. Lots of power for a 2.0 Liter
March 24, 2015Great car. I use it as a summertime daily driver. I have done light track use with it as well. The car is loads of fun if you enjoy driving. Allows you to truly drive, every imput is transferred to the road. I average 32 MPG with the manual and I don't baby it at all. The back seats are more of a decoration but I don't need them so that doesn't bother me. Comfortable on city, rural roads or interstate. Very happy with it.

June 9, 2014This is the perfect enthusiasts affordable car. Very fun, good on gas, and looks great. On paper it isnt fast, but it sure feels like it!
March 23, 2023The Scion FR-S is the perfect car for every car enthusiast, the car handles so well, and you can modify the car the way you want
August 13, 2020This car is so fun to drive. It is great on gas mileage. The standard transmission makes it more fun. Anyone who loves sports car should give the FRS a try. It is definitely exciting to drive and a eye catcher.
September 1, 2014The car is amazing and is an excellent choice for a daily driver or a track day fun day.
March 2, 2021I truly love driving this car other than shifting in traffic. Very rare to see on the road this distinct, sexy shape. Low center of gravity and small steering wheel give you the feel of being in an expensive race car. I have owned a Porsche 912 and the FR-S handles much like that. Not great in snow. All the garage attendants think this is the best car in the lots.
February 17, 2014A fantastic car, but the 2013 model year is plagued with an engine issue that makes the car a risky buy.
May 25, 2022Handling-I've taken 45mph turns at 95mph without kicking out the rear Fun Factor- All you'll want to do when you buy it is drive Comes in automatic and manual Appearance- Very streamline and the curves give it a beautiful look
