1) Google.Comparing cars since the fr-s debut. What is the weight to power ratio between the mr-s and the fr-s and whats the downfall between these cars. And who will champion if a run was ever to occur on a course???
This.if anybody knows photoshop i want to see the fr-s and mr-s aligned to see the size of these two cars. Like there was a picture comparing the miata with a mustang and the fr-s aligned.
- it has a real trunkStill don't understand why anyone in this forum would switch to FRS by paying more "money" when in both acceleration and corner speed, spyder is better than FRS minus the useless backseat. Moreover, with that "money" you can probably get 2zz 6mt by LR, suspension swap, bracings, and spare change to do some asthetic mods. Total no brainer.
Amen.Here's my 2 cents: I love the Toyobaru, but for 25K+options, I'd pick up a used Elise in a heartbeat.
Someone on the Lotus Talk forums said it quite succinctly when comparing the Spyder to an Elise and I think it applies to the Toyobaru too: don't underestimate the value of owning your car (paraphrasing, but you get the idea)!
Actually me and the wife are looking for a daily driver and the FRS might be for us, we will be keeping the spyder as a seasonal toy (not winter driven). Have an older Matrix as a daily now and test drove a couple of cars but nothing stands out. Hoping we like the FRS and we'd be willing to wait if the first ones are already soldHere's my 2 cents: I love the Toyobaru, but for 25K+options, I'd pick up a used Elise in a heartbeat.

All absolutely right. I guess it's just that personally, those things (forgiving handling, trunk, airbags, warraty, new car smell) don't really deserve my money.- it has a real trunk
- it can carry a spare set of wheels/tires without the need of a trailer or storage rack
- more forgiving handling, traction control
- more airbags
- warranty
- new car smell...
The Spyder certainly has its appeal too, but I can see why someone would want to trade up to something that's safer and more practical.
c'mon, don't hold back tell us how you really feel.You're a pussy.
Part of the thrill of a sportscar is the inherent risk.
You're a pussy; or at least a wimp.
I prefer the Spyder as well. I was just listing reasons why someone might want one instead of (or in addition to) a Spyder.All absolutely right. I guess it's just that personally, those things (forgiving handling, trunk, airbags, warraty, new car smell) don't really deserve my money.
