Scion's first real sports car, the 2013 FR-S, is a collaboration between Subaru and Toyota. This unlikely partnership combines the strengths of both automakers, including a boxer engine and a rear-wheel-drive setup. The FR-S is a remarkable handler, but acceleration is lacking, according to Cars.com Editor Joe Bruzek.
2013 Scion FR-S
Scion's 2013 FR-S is a genuine driver's car with a level of sports car-ness not commonly found among $25,000 coupes. Cars.com editor Joe Bruzek drives the FR-S at a Scion media preview in and around Las Vegas on city streets as well as a small road course, tight autocross course and wet skid pad.

2012 Hyundai Tucson
The Hyundai Tucson has been on sale for nearly three years, and in that time, a slew of new competitors have entered the compact crossover segment. While the Tucson is certainly stylish and nice to drive, its harsh ride and cramped interior left Cars.com Senior Editor Bill Jackson unimpressed.
2013 Subaru BRZ
The Subaru BRZ is not only a great-looking sports car loaded with available features, but it's also a remarkably fun, well-balanced coupe. However, it's got a tiny backseat and overall firm ride, as well as a $1,300 price premium over its twin, the Scion FR-S. Is it worth it? Cars.com reviewer Joe Wiesenfelder takes a close look at one of today's true affordable sports cars and explains why the answer is yes.
2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T
The 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe gets some significant powertrain upgrades on its four- and six-cylinder engines, but it's on the four-cylinder that the mechanical changes make the most difference, according to Cars.com Editor Joe Bruzek. The added power -- along with the suspension improvements -- make the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T a compelling option against the likes of the new Scion FR-S and Subaru BR-Z, Bruzek says.

Sounds like a sign to me lol. So we bought it and I love it, er, I mean her! Still trying to give her a name... Hmm..... Anyways, enjoy looking at her!

Toyota GT86 (Scion FR-S) review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/toyota/gt-86/coupe/review
The Toyota GT86 has been charged with injecting a little excitement into the Japanese brand's dull and dependable image. Developed in partnership with Subaru, the rear-wheel drive coupe promises to mix driving fun with great value for money. The GT 86 is priced at around £25,000, and is aimed squarely at entry-level versions of the evergreen Audi TT. While the Toyota isn't as attractive as the sleek Audi or muscular Nissan 370Z, it still has the ability to turn heads. And what the interior lacks in quality and cutting edge design, it more than makes up for with generous standard kit. But the GT86 is car that demands to be driven rather than looked at. Sharp and engaging handling, a characterful 2.0-litre flat four petrol engine and strong brakes help make the Toyota a number one choice for back road blasts.

2013 Subaru BRZ vs Scion FR-S 0-60 MPH Mile High Mashup Review
( http://www.TFLcar.com ) The almost identical 2013 Subaru BRZ and the 2013 Scion FR-S herald the return of the light and affordable rear-wheel drive sports car. Jointly developed by Toyota and Subaru there's very little that separates the two twins except for minor suspension differences. But since both cars can be purchased as with either an automatic transmission or a manual one we of course want to know which one is faster to 60 @1 mile above sea level...the automatic Subaru BRZ or the 6-speed manual Scion FR-S? Check out this fun TFLcar Mashup Review to find out.
