I'm quite happy with my FR-S. I just gotta work on adding a little more oomph. It's got great looks and sublime steering and handling.. now it just needs the final piece of the puzzle. Power.

Haha yeah. 250hp would be great, but I got it for the looks and handling now power. But it never hurts. Baby steps

I wish I had bought a BRZ or waited and had the monogram but only because of interior and headlight upgrades. At the time of purchase, I thought meh no biggie. Now I wish I had of just upgraded.

No regrets, there is nothing really like this car on the market. I've been waiting for it for years.

Headlight I'll give you that. Buy winjets are like 400 .

Now seats on the other hand omg I wish I had brZ. These ones build static and I shock myself every bloody time I exit my car. Other than that in the interior I wish I had the brz climate control switches. The rest I like frs better

Now, does anyone have any regrets from buying their cars?

I've recently gotten interested in off roading and yesterday I tried out a Toyota FJ, which is amazing.

Problem is our cars drop value like Aladdin tied to that rock and thrown into the sea (without a genie to bring is back up). So if I traded it in I would still owe 1000k. The Fj is 31000k with all the off road goodies.

So my payment would go from 300-550 xD. I can afford this, but I got student loans coming in soon which are gonna kill me. So just wanted to get some opinions. Anyone regret getting this car instead of something else?
You should regret owing $1,000,000 on an FR-S and considering an FJ with a price of $31,000,000!

HAHA! Just messing with ya!

I bought my Firestorm Monogram 2 days ago and the only thing I regret so far is not taking more time off from work to go drive her!

If I could have gotten my hands on one 3 weeks sooner I would have saved $800.

Other than that zero regrets.

Not exactly sure but not concerned either, if I was worried about MPG I would have gotten a Prius lol. I had a dodge charger RT before this and I got like 13 mpg, doubt it will be worse. Also plan on getting a cheap second vehicle for winters so once SC it will be parked wouldn't want to drive that in the snow.
