Ouhei posted:And stare at the scion badge on my steering wheel airbag every time I get in the car? No thanks. That's a pretty amazing point of view. I don't hang out in AI, but I was checking this thread because I love my 07 tC. Sure, I'm not a car nut and when I bought it, really not all that interested in cars and "driving." Since I got my car though, wow, what an amazingly fun thing to drive. I have a hard time driving anything else. So yes, the commercials are stupid and the marketing is stupid, and yes, maybe the tC is a car for Jersey ricer fags. But you know what? I'm glad I didn't know that at the time. It's a fantastic car for the price, and the new Toyotoa/Scion/Subaru seems to be a big improvement. If you're in a huff because of the brand, that's a shame and you're missing out. But at least you can buy the Subaru.

God drat that Toyota is a sexy car. But I swore to myself I would keep my 07 Scion tC until I can buy an all-electric car. Ugh!

God, after reading that review I really want to test drive the Toyota. But then I'll be forced to buy it. I love having no car payments. I love having no car payments. I love having no car payments.

I'll be the first to say I don't really belong in AI because I have no clue about what I'm talking about, but 200 bhp without a turbo doesn't exactly sound anemic.

ppp posted:https://www.google.com/search?q=pdf+0day Thank you for the fantastic Google link. I am completely unaware of what a PDF 0 day exploit is and my comment was not along the lines of "yeah, I'll be opening a PDF that is uploaded to MediaFire about a car that is very popular right now and also has a 'false positive'". But I read everything from your link and am now much more informed! Thanks Goon!

PT6A posted:The tC just made no sense whatsoever, in my opinion. As best as I can tell, I was the target demographic, and it didn't even rate a test drive when I was looking for a car. Why would any sane person buy a FWD, fairly underpowered coupe? It doesn't have handling, it doesn't have power, and it doesn't have practicality. At most, it was a slightly interesting looking car for not too much money. That was it. It's reasonably heavy for what it is, and its fuel economy is poo poo. I'm not a huge car nut, but as I've said several times in this thread I love my tC. Tons of space to move stuff around and to me the handling and acceleration is great. It's not a track car. I don't expect to drift through corners on a 5 lane road. I love the way the car feels. Any time I drive something else it feels awkward.

kimbo305 posted:Improved upforce. What will happen to that car? When I originally bought my tC, like 2 weeks later I got hit by a hailstorm of that magnitude. Every panel was damaged, other than the rough because that is made out of some sort of glass and did not dent or crack. Was about 4-5k worth of damage. I've tried to block it from my memory. Really sucks to have your first car banged to poo poo before you even make the first payment. I'd imagine they'll repair it and sell it as a used model.

So do all these 3rd party turbos void the warranty? I know jack all about cars, but I will say adding a little more umpf to a FR-S / BRZ is making it harder and harder not to buy one...

While we're on the topic, are there any goons that have driven a turbo FR-S / BRZ? How is it versus a stock model?

Thanks for the comparison. I think I'll miss the center console and the cargo space of the TC. Not sure if the commend about being tall, but that wasn't me. I vaguely remember commenting about that picture, though. The reason I do think have an FRS yet is because I am getting a wife instead. And she keeps rubbing it in my face, commenting about how good the FRS / BRZ looks every time we see one! To me it sounds like the FRS is everything I like about my TC, but done much better.

Bluetooth issues are related to Android 4.2. They changed the Bluetooth stack and it introduced a lot of problems. The next Android update should improve things significantly.

DerDestroyer posted:People like you graduate into people who never buy a car new. No poo poo. Bought my first car new. A couple of weeks later I sign a year lease on my first apartment after moving across the country. Was laying in the living room right after having gotten the keys thinking "Internet Explorer, you've done alright. Nice new car. Nice new apartment." 5 minutes later and the heavens opened up. Hail the size of baseballs. $5k worth of damage and a dent in every single body panel. I basically gave up instead of having a nervous breakdown. Still own the car almost 7 years later.

So on a scale from 1 to 10, how bad would getting an FRS/BRZ be for someone who has never driven in the snow and is thinking about moving to an area like Colorado? I have read of a couple of people "garaging" the car for the winter and I have heard rear-wheel drive can be the most difficult in the snow. Just how difficult are we talking here?

highmodulus posted:Liked these for a while, remember when they were being sold well over MSRP when released. I went to the local-ish Suburu dealer to drive a new WRX hatch they had in, and decided to see if I could fit in the 2013 Silver BRZ Premium they had sitting there (I have long legs, and my left leg hit the steering wheel on clutch out before). With a bunch of fiddling, I found a good position for me- so I said what the heck and test drove it for fun. I really liked it- its a fun, willing little car. Thanks for posting your thoughts on this. I am dying for a new car and have been going back and forth between an FRS and a WRX hatch. I'm leaning towards the WRX hatch because of all the extra cargo room, the extra go, and AWD as I may be moving to a snowy climate, but I just can't shake lusting over the FRS/BRZ.

bull3964 posted:Since the thread was bumped... I had been eyeing the FRS/BRZ for the past 2-3 years as shoe-in for a new car. Once they came out I drove one and loved the way it drove, it was just a bit too cramped and didn't have the utility I wanted. I ended up going with a 2014 WRX hatch and have been super happy with it, but I'm not going to lie, I still eye gently caress every FRS/BRZ I pass by.
