The Scion FRS may be a good first car for some people, but for practicality, there are better options. The 2016 model year received a rating of 86/100 from J.D. Power, but road test results from Consumer Reports were subpar.
Here are some specs on the Scion FRS to help you decide:
Available in six-speed manual or six-speed automatic
200-hp 2.0-liter flat-four engine
