I presently own a 2015 Scion tC with 6 speed manual transmission and it is the best vehicle I have ever driven. I bought it with 90k miles on it and after 20k more miles it is flawless maintenance wise and performance wise. That said, out of curiousity, I thought Id see how the so called top of line scion FR-S compared in performance , looks , and practicality. Verdict: tC is the winner. It has a hatchback with way more space to store things. It is larger overall and is just as quick out the gate as the FR-S. The FR-S is easier to work on and it is easier to find parts for it than the tC, but I dont drive my tC that much(I also own a 2009 Lexus GX470 and a 2002 GMC Sonoma truck so I alternate between the three.Jan 13, 2024

This car is the most legal fun you can have with your clothes on! Loves to corner and the manual six speed is a kick in the pants. Nothing fancy in the infotainment system and I will be upgrading it. It is the kind of car that makes you smile, even in traffic!Sep 11, 2023
