Decent Prce for a Scion FR-S?
My mom really kind of wants one. I don't buy new cars so I forget the site for checking invoice pricing and comps.

I would of gone with with genesis coupe if I wanted a cheap 2 door rwd car. |
Do you know the name of that site that does comps for a geographic area? In other words, it just puts up data about what they are selling for in the market. I suspect there's some premium pricing going on now.

Ill make it easy for you here.

That's the one Chuck. Thanks. Just right there at MSRP.
The base 5.0 is in the same price range. Clearly more power, vaguely comparable MPG, not so sure about handling, especially since some of that is subjective. But that's all irrelevant anyway. It's a matter of aesthetic preferences. |
Match for match to the m3. I'd say handling is great, but if its all about the looks then she's gotta pick what she likes best.

It's the case until July 2. :) For that matter the V6 is pretty awesome for even less. A Mustang simply isn't novel and doesn't come with any "wow" factor. It's *just* a really well thought out value oriented car that nails its market.
Doesn't your aunt have one? If so, how does she like it? |
Funny you mention true car, I work there. If you want to use this link instead it will send you in as a friend or family if you decide to use the service. http://driveyourdream.zag.com/main.h...id=EMPPCZARNOT if you have any questions,let me know.

My point wasnt comparing the M3 to the mustang, it was comparing the FR-S to the mustang. I mentioned the M3 as an example of its handling, nothing more. FTR I have driven the M3 and it rides nicer then the mustang but it feels much like it when being pushed. I suppose anything rides great compared to my bmx bike i'm currently driving.

It's absolutely defensible to say at this time you can get a base 5.0 for the same price as an FR-S and it will manhandle the FR-S in every objective performance criteria. Whether it handles better or not, I don't know. My hypothesis is if I could drive both on a track I would expect the FR-S to be more "controlled and controllable." Doesn't mean anything other than my personal expectation. I'd be curious what Probst has to say about the FR-S. |
Sounds like we have a different definition of handling.
|
Yes. Mine matches what professional drivers describe in a car's feel and response and goes well beyond mere track times. Like Probst describing how much BETTER the M3 was than the Mustang. Otherwise I'd just call it ET. ;)

My Aunt loves her V6 Mustang.
For me the pecking order would be: 1) 5.0 Mustang 2) Scion FR-S 3) 3.7 Mustang The Scion is more fun to drive IMHO than a V6 Mustang. |
I'd personally agree with your order. Me mum is into the styling of the Scion. Plus who knows what tuner options there will be in the not too distant future.
BTW, does it sound like a Subie being a Boxer engine? I kind like that chunky "misfiring" sound they have. Lol. |
