The Scion FR-S Long Run


The 2013 Scion FR-S has recently gone on sale, but people are still wondering how the car stands the test of time. Edmund's Inside Line has taken the time to give the FR-S the attention it deserves and it did not disappoint.
You might have guessed this was coming. We could have told you the 2013 Scion FR-S was headed for the long-term test fleet back in October of 2009. Sure, we didn't know then that the Toyota FT-86 would come to the U.S. as a Scion, nor that it would take three years to make it here, but the idea of a half-Toyota, half-Subaru, lightweight, rear-drive, boxer-powered sports car following in the footsteps of the AE86 hooked us instantly. 
Sure, it was entirely possible that this whole thing could go really, terribly wrong, (You read the part about this being a Subaru and Toyota collaboration, right?) but then we drove the Scion FR-S and knew we had to have more. 
We didn't exactly scream, "Shut up and take our money!" to the Scion dealer the second its order books opened, but pretty close. Our 2013 Scion FR-S was one of the first ones delivered to our area and now it's all ours for the next 12 months and 20,000 miles. 
Bone stock, the 2013 Scion FR-S is a capable and rewarding car to drive. It's the kind of soul-satisfying experience that doesn't translate well to an Excel spreadsheet and will be lost on the guys without a mountain road or racetrack nearby.
