@@SinclairPhotos i test drove an 86 today and im in love, my dad said we are probably gonna go to the dealership next Saturday to buy it. SO EXCITED!!!
I’m just bought a 2013 FRS and I love it, it is everything I wanted in a car and I love it. I have already put new wheels and tires on it as well as a turbo In it
That rev button is used to set where u want the beeper to go off at certain rev limit, just to warn u for your own sake. Also, found if I turned off all traction and stability (sport mode) u get better gas mileage. I was getting about 35 mpg highway with it all turned off.
The FRS/BRZ/86 (2013 to 2021) is probably the most reliable sports car ever made. Even at 70,000 miles, the car looks clean and probably performs like most cars do at 10k miles. Do you still have it?
Bought my BRZ Ltd in 2012 - one of the first to arrive in my Tri-State. Put over 138k miles on it and my only out of pocket expenses were tires, brake pads, rotors, wipers, and a timing belt. Everything else was covered by the extended warranty I purchased. Items that warranty covered were a front seat cover replacement from premature wear, taillight (filled up with water), front DRL (filled up with water), replacement rubber seal on driver side window, and a new locking mechanism on the driver door because it wore out at 68k miles - just 2K miles of the extended warranty expiring. Mods I added were the STI aero kit, 18” Enkei Raijin wheels, 245/35-18 Michelin Pilot 4AS tires, LED bulbs for the fog lights, smoked aftermarket taillights and some other small cosmetic changes. Best and most reliable car I’ve ever owned. Proudly passed it down to one of my kids. Sadly, this year and just shy of its 11th birthday, it was totaled when a speeding truck doing 75mph+ slammed into it when my wife was driving it. She was okay but shaken up. Airbag deployed. Looking to replace it with another BRZ. Can’t praise this car enough. Enjoyable to drive, even on long trips (12+ hours). And from experience, a very safe vehicle, too.
It’s truly a great commuter sports car. Especially on the used market where you will have money left over for mods to fix the torque dip. I can’t wait to see what the next gen has in store.
@@Xezthos Random commenter but i’ve driven the new BRZ, the power difference is noticeable and is exactly where it should’ve been when it first released 10 years ago. Other than that they handle almost the exact same. However i’m not a fan of the overall design, especially the all digital gauge cluster. Ik the first generation one was a bit too simple but it was perfect with the second gen (left and middle gauges, right side had small screen with stats). Rest of the interior is fine, looks very similar and some things are straight up better, but the exterior looks incredibly generic especially from the rear. Because of this you also can’t really find as many cosmetic aftermarket support, although there are still lots of performance mods, most of which are usable from the previous gens.
Thank you for this review, my name is hunter and I’m from Houston looking for my first car to buy, ive been looking at the frs for sometime now and now I’m sure this is what I want.
After a long consideration, I've finally settled on this for my first car. I looked at these, plus Miatas, C5 Corvettes, Mustangs, even 986 Boxsters. I was almost dead set on a Miata, but I found they are a bit too slow for me. The BRZ/FR-S/GT86 is a bit faster but not crazy enough for me to get into trouble. I too plan to get automatic but I'll learn manual later.
Dude I'm telling u if u know your gonna learn manual and you are considering buying an 86/brz. Get a manual! The automatic gearbox in the 86brz is so sluggish, the manual gearbox is perfect in evry form. Btw ofc I'm just a random guy talking shite so don't do it if u don't want to but I'm just giving sum advice😊
get a manual. It takes 15 min to learn how to drive and a day should be enough to cover all the specific situations. close your Use your feet to feel where the clutch starts to bite. Using this technique, should make it easy to hop in and out of different cars.
@@skidmeister The whole comment is outdated. I drove a Lamborghini Huracán last week, and it was shockingly easy to drive. Light on the gas, it drove like a normal car. After that experience, I'll be getting a C5 Corvette instead
GREAT WORK... as your first review. Next time you might want to go into video on the building of the car from factory archives as a historical background, and things such as if its ever been used on rallys or races or even on the street scene. Also examples of other guys how have modified there FRS... Just saying... GREAT WORK SON....
The reason why people say BRZs are the best is becoz of the interior. BRZs (but not all) come with volume control on the steering wheel, a partial screen in the speedometer and some even coms with a better and more expensive type of air con controls along with red stitching... I think that's the reason. Comparing those interior features to the FRS, it seems as if Scion is a cheaper variant.
I am in my mid 50s, have a 2013 FRS now dedicated as a track car as well as a stock 2018 GT86 in the garage now. Having had gone through buying several teenagers their first cars and all that comes with that experience, I would definately not suggest it be anyone's First car. Perhaps the first car they purchase themselves hopefully as the have matured a bit as a driver. Ideal first self purchase for a young guy who no doubt will be quickly on ebay replacing lights and exhaust so to individualize it away from a stock look and sound. Several times you referred to Scion as if it was as much a separate entity from Toyota as Subaru. Odd
Yeah I agree, it's my second car at 19. First car was a 94 Camry to learn on, learn the rules of the road, and if I screwed up i wouldnt be out $15,000. 4 years of driving experience later, I love this car.
8:01~ About the trunk space being non-existent... I have a friend who owns one of these and he was able to put my 21-speed mountain bike in the trunk, closed with the back seats down. You can actually haul quite a bit.
I just bought the cheapest 2013 in salt lake last month. Was 2k less than the next comparable one. It had 5 owners but a service history for all the oil changes and general maintenance so I pulled the trigger knowing that I was going to need to replace the blown shocks all around and the blown rear driver strut mount. Just slapped some HKS coils on there with new end links and front end refresh with inner\outer tie rods as well as ripped the crappy clapped out ricey sounding exhaust off. Replaced it with a BLITZ Nur spec exhaust and lve the sound. Quiet until you get on it with no drone. Then since I could actually hear my car when I changed the exhaust I could hear the dreaded throw out bearing issue that plagues early model frs\brs cars. So I am just having the whole clutch replaced with the upgraded unit and flywheel. Not doing that in my garage though my big ass barely was able to get under the car enough to swap the exhaust from the header back! Absolutely adore these cars. Handles better than the rx8 r3 I had, which is regarded as one of the better handling sports cars of its day. Cant go wrong with a well sorted frs or brz . Just make sure you do your homework on the car and get a good one.
I legit thought my FRS had no balls until I figured out the pedal dance LMAO. And then I found out there's a fuse you can pull bypassing the pedal dance but it also shuts down abs.
2013s are nice vehicle do not leave engine stock. Once you get one or before you get one buy these things 1. Motor mounts 2. Transmission mounts 3. Did mounts 4. Complete valve kit. (Known to fail as oem every 32-40k miles)
What’s up with having tinted out tail lights? Respect it but I never got that as a whole. Especially in the light and I can barely see your lights 😂. But nice car man
I been thinking so hard on getting one tho since im an automotive geek im a little scare with on boosting this platform since after 300hp you look into internals and vital components after boost lol but a swap can also be so complicated haha
This surely only applies in America, there’s absolutely no way someone could get this as their first car in the UK, they start at £11K, and insurance for a 17 year old would be insane
The Sittinstill the car is not fast if you are going to be racing people but it is a lot of fun and I would say it is fast enough for me. I would totally suggest getting one. And if you are wanting to mod it there are endless possibilities!
@@SinclairPhotos this car is a good platform but for all out speed I think maybe a different vehicle. Mustang or challenger would be great for the speed freak. This car is a handling machine.
I work for Toyota for 30 years and I was there when they pulled off the truck my first concern was the weight of the automatic transmission and the weight of the manual transmission is only 33 lb difference. Which to me means it's the same transmission one just shifts it for you and one you shifted yourself
@@operator9858 I hated the idea too, however a new car was in my future at the time. Also a compromise had to be made for (no manual drivin) my wife. I read the specs for scions auto trans in 2010 and there was NO difference from the auto and manual except the trans control module with paddle shifter. My only question then was would it "hold" a gear at high rpm or would it "safty switch" down like the rest of toyota's cars. When we got one, my manager let me take it to a Drift Day track event for "Advertising" purposes. I was impressed, held rpm's, smoked tire through the transitions and not even you can shift that fast.
Its Toyota and under 10k and I think it would be awesome tbh not too fast but enough power for it to be fun to drive and not too expensive on a used one and I really want one
Any updates man? Looking into getting one of these and was wondering how well drums fit. I mainly play marching snare but was curious about the actual capabilities of the trunk.
We owned a 2013 FRS as we had several teenagers in the household with their own, more practical cars. From the several occasions that they borrowed the FRS I realized how glad I was that I had not bought one for them. GPS tracker let me know that right off the bat they were responding to their friends challenges of "That looks fast, let's see if it will beat my car" or "I hear they put Prius tires on them so they can drift around corners better ... let's find out" When asked how shoe prints got on the back headliner, they stated it was from getting two people in the back seat. Teenagers will be teenagers... It is a great young persons "typically guys" car who will be spending every spare dollar on customizing it with replacement lights and exhaust as such parts are plentiful on ebay. As silly and impractical as it is, something most of us did at that age.
How is the audio system? I hate when someone says a vehicle's audio system is flat but they don't change the actual audio settings.... They then go to spend a boze or JBL.....
Sinclair Photos not bad at all, i pay $300 for my 2002 Camry which is a little too much but idk, i really like this car but i heard that the gas is terrible and that insurance with just liability is like $500 and up
Yeti whoever told you that is smoking something strong... my 2020 BRZ gets around 33 highway and ~26 city. They designed this car to be efficient, even putting Prius tires (not a bad thing) on it to save every last drop. That’s pretty important because you’ll be putting 93 octane in there, which will make your wallet bleed if prices (knock on wood) ever hit 2012 levels again. Insurance isn’t too bad, there is a reason this car has “backseats.”
A teenager would probably end up killing themselves if they drove that car. Never make a sports car a teen’s first car. If you’re a fully grown, mature adult then you can buy one if you want.
I’m 15 now always wanted this for a first car dads very unsure on it because of how much horsepower it has any tips you could give him to convince him to get me the car
@@poppinxxbobaq873 probably the fact you won't know how to control a rwd drive if it spins out in the rain but that just means you want to put good tyres on or do some form of skid control
@@poppinxxbobaq873 be realistic there's always a way to change whatever you want on the car but you won't have the money to do so it would be cheaper to not flog the car in the rain and have good tyres on the car/do a lesson on learning to control the car. Also sorry for the late reply.
I'm 23 and just financed an FR-S with one traffic light violation. State Farm gave me full coverage for about $160 a month, but I _did_ get a bit of a discount for having good grades and graduating college. I haven't seen anything quote-wise under $155ish.

From the several occasions that they borrowed the FRS I realized how glad I was that I had not bought one for them. GPS tracker let me know that right off the bat they were responding to their friends challenges of "That looks fast, let's see if it will beat my car" or "I hear they put Prius tires on them so they can drift around corners better ... let's find out" When asked how shoe prints got on the back headliner, they stated it was from getting two people in the back seat. Teenagers will be teenagers...
It is a great young persons "typically guys" car who will be spending every spare dollar on customizing it with replacement lights and exhaust as such parts are plentiful on ebay. As silly and impractical as it is, something most of us did at that age.
@@robertszigyarto7400 Is your insurance high?
@@robertszigyarto7400I can barely fit 2 in the back how r u doing 4
How is the audio system? I hate when someone says a vehicle's audio system is flat but they don't change the actual audio settings.... They then go to spend a boze or JBL.....
Better off getting the Wrx. It’s awd turbo and starts at 26k brand new.
Supreme Media I feel like that is a good option but the FRS has my heart
Supreme Media the 86 would smack it on any track tho
WRX driving a fast car slow, BRZ driving a slow car fast.
where i live the wrx is quite a bit more expensive than a brz/86 and i’d rather a coupe for my needs than a sedan
Sooo how much is the full coverage insurance and i’m a 19 year old male, also how much would the gas be
mine is like 160 a month or soemthin like that
Sinclair Photos not bad at all, i pay $300 for my 2002 Camry which is a little too much but idk, i really like this car but i heard that the gas is terrible and that insurance with just liability is like $500 and up
Yeti whoever told you that is smoking something strong... my 2020 BRZ gets around 33 highway and ~26 city. They designed this car to be efficient, even putting Prius tires (not a bad thing) on it to save every last drop. That’s pretty important because you’ll be putting 93 octane in there, which will make your wallet bleed if prices (knock on wood) ever hit 2012 levels again. Insurance isn’t too bad, there is a reason this car has “backseats.”
@@Ispeedymg this didn’t age well at all
My homie got this 💪😂
That townelake view tho
its beautiful
Okay young guys, for the life of me I can't figure out why you do so much complaining about options that will never be on that car from the factory.
I wouldnt get anywhere in the winter if that was my first car let alone only car
people need to start referring to these cars as zn6 instead of “frs/86/brz” 😂
I subbed only because you own a twin like mine.
I have seen many 86/frs for under 10k in my area but the brz is always likw 12k
I love those headlights, what are those?
wait so the frs,gt86 and brz and 3 different cars i thought they were the exact same with same components
A teenager would probably end up killing themselves if they drove that car. Never make a sports car a teen’s first car. If you’re a fully grown, mature adult then you can buy one if you want.
Just bought a 2013 for 9,800 with 86K miles
I’m 15 now always wanted this for a first car dads very unsure on it because of how much horsepower it has any tips you could give him to convince him to get me the car
Realistically the horsepower isn't the issue
Robert Szigyarto what is
@@poppinxxbobaq873 probably the fact you won't know how to control a rwd drive if it spins out in the rain but that just means you want to put good tyres on or do some form of skid control
Robert Szigyarto is there a way to change the drivetrain on it like Forza
@@poppinxxbobaq873 be realistic there's always a way to change whatever you want on the car but you won't have the money to do so it would be cheaper to not flog the car in the rain and have good tyres on the car/do a lesson on learning to control the car. Also sorry for the late reply.
Im pretty sure the frs is the cheaper option even though they all are pretty similar
Would this car be good for a first car?
Mike Evans absolutely!
The only thing I worry about is the cost of insurance.
I'm 23 and just financed an FR-S with one traffic light violation. State Farm gave me full coverage for about $160 a month, but I _did_ get a bit of a discount for having good grades and graduating college. I haven't seen anything quote-wise under $155ish.
Really thinking about getting one but I’m scared of the recall stories I’ve heard have u had any problems with that yet?
alex brown I just posted a video on how to check that you just have to look up your vin and check if it was affected or not
inspection sticker...4-20...nice
If you can’t go fast with 200 hp then you aren’t gonna need any more
is rwd really the best for a first time driver?
Dude I screamed so loud when I saw town lake I did not realize you live near me.
Is insurance really expensive? How much do u pay for insurance for it?
For the record,scion is Toyota ,and no scion ever came with a scion branded engine,they were all toyota
