Reviews SummaryThe 2015 Scion FR-S is a true sports car, easily putting a big fat grin on your face as you’re taking a corner on your favorite twisty road. But its lack of practicality means either that you don’t have any kids or that you also own a different vehicle that's more suitable for the real world. | |
Reviews SummaryThe GR86 puts driver engagement first and practicality last. It offers fantastic handling, especially at the limit, and while power is modest, it’s delivered to maximize the fun. Buyers can choose all-season tires for tail-out fun or summer-performance tires for quicker track times. While the GR86 has four seats, it realistically seats two, but that’s OK because the GR86 is all about pleasing the driver. Verdict: If driver engagement is at the top of the shopping list, the Toyota GR86 is one of the best choices on the market. It lacks practicality and its ride can be overly firm, but the GR86 delivers driving fun without big power. | |
