🖼️2013 Asphalt gray Scion FR-S

I test drove the new Scion FR-S today. The asphalt gray color was darker than I expected, which is why it looks almost black in the pictures. It felt a little slow, but it got more exciting over 5000 RPM. The handling was amazing. From the outside, it looks a little bigger than it needs to be, but from the inside, it's not clear what else could be removed. The back seats are literally unusable, because there is no legroom. The manual does say that you can turn the driving assist programs fully off. A lot of cars nowadays claim that you can turn the traction control and stability control off, but those features still kick in the moment things get too squirrelly. I went through the motions of turning them off, but I didn't feel comfortable testing it to make sure it was fully off by doing donuts in a brand-new car that I didn't own... wait, what am I saying? I totally should have tested it! More here <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/zombieite/sets/72157630045719021/">www.flickr.com/photos/zombieite/sets/72157630045719021/</a>
