Torque is a low point with this particular engine, especially in the low-rev range. You can run the car all the way up to its 7,rpm redline, though, where you'll find a little more power when you need it.
Steering is a bit of a low point, with the electric power assist taking out much of the feel, leaving behind an intuitive and quick, but not very communicative, wheel. The brakes are easy to modulate and adequate to the car's weight and tire fitment, easily surviving a half-dozen laps on track or a long, fast canyon run. Once you've reconciled yourself with grabbing the flat four by the nape of its neck and squeezing for all it's worth, the FR-S becomes a second skin. Nimble, light by modern standards , and incredibly neutral in its balance, the Scion FR-S captures the essence of what a sports car should be: honest, inexpensive fun.
Simple surfaces and classic proportions give the outline of the FR-S. Details at the nose and tail give a modern, aerodynamic look to the car.
Inside, the Scion FR-S is basic, but well-built and handsome, if not quite beautiful. Sitting the FR-S isn't a chore, either. Though there's a sound pipe to bring some of the car's growling engine note into the cabin, very little actual exhaust noise is heard at all. Wind and road noise can become prominent at speeds above 70 mph.
But the seats, in the front, are where the FR-S's interior really shines. Well-bolstered, comfortable, with plenty of leg and hip room for larger and taller drivers, the front seats are an excellent offering for a production vehicle. The rear seat is best reserved for children and shorter adults, though it is serviceable for even six-footers in a pinch. On the equipment front, there's not much to talk about: the Scion FR-S only has a few choices to be made.
Fortunately, those choices include available premium audio with apps capability, while standard gear includes Bluetooth, keyless entry, and climate control. The Scion FR-S hasn't been crash-tested yet, but it is unchanged from the model year, so it should score well. Last year's results didn't include small-overlap front tests, however. With six airbags, anti-lock brakes, stability and traction control all among the standard safety equipment, we expect the Scion FR-S to be a good performer in future crash testing.
The Scion FR-S is an entirely modern vehicle from end to end, despite drawing inspiration from classic Japanese sports car design. The cabin of the FR-S follows this sports-first, minimalist aesthetic, using carbon-look accents and durable plastics molded in flowing, simple lines.
The nearly monochromatic upholstery helps put the gauge cluster front-and-center for the driver. Detail work at the nose includes a wide grille opening, sharply angled vents in the lower fascia, and smooth curves that flow into the hood and fenders. The fenders themselves are slightly flared, and also bulge upward from the hood line.
A simple side profile sees the roof sweep up and dive down again in a graceful arc, meeting the rear fenders and stubby tail. There are two transmissions and only one engine available in the Scion FR-S, making it an easy choice for shoppers.
Both transmissions deliver the same fun-factor for the driver, thanks to the solid, well-tuned chassis. Light, tossable, and balanced, the limits of the Scion FR-S aren't very high, thanks in part to fairly low-grip standard tires, but they're very approachable, and, best of all, it's easy to keep the FR-S near those limits--a feat almost impossible, on the street or the track, in stratospherically high-performance cars. With that aside i'd guess minnesota. It really depends at that height, you are very close to the maximum height and it would depend if your height is in your legs or your torso.
I'm just under 6' and i have a good 5 inches of headroom in the car, but I have a long torso. My legs are fine in any driving position, but you might have issues with the steering wheel at it's lowest angle. Originally Posted by clubraf. I'm 6'3" and was worried I'd be too tall for the car. I have plenty of room and the seats are great! Cars a little low so the challenge is getting in and out. I am 6'1" with a 33" inseam and I still have some room to move the seat back a few more clicks, maybe inches.
I also have plenty of head clearance with the seat at it's lowest adjustment. The only trouble I have is getting my legs in and out of the car, if someone parks next to me and I can't swing the door all the way open, I find myself picking up my legs to get them over the 'hump.
I fit fine int the FR-S but knees rub the steering wheel slightly in the BRZ due to slightly more cushioning in the seats for the Subie. Go FRS for max room although it's not much it's just enough between the two. Not quite as tall as the others, but I'm 6'2''. Getting into the car is the only difficult part. At my test drive, I did this weird maneuver by putting my knee into the seat first and twisting into it. Cursed back problems Though once I was in the car, adjust the wheel as high as it could go and pumping the seat down two pumps was enough.
I had another guy about my height go into the seat behind me and I was still pretty comfortable after moving the seat forward to better accommodate my fried. I'm 6'2" and have no problems.
With the seat height adjusted to the bottom, I can wear a helmet and still have at least a couple of inches between it and the headliner. Leg room is also no problem.
This car has more front seat leg room than the '06 Accord that I traded in on it. Find More Posts by Shizuma. The rear view mirror is kinda in my line of sight, but not so much that it bothers me.
