TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2015 Scion FR-S is simple, straightforward, and well-executed, making it the perfect affordable sports car.

The 2015 Subaru BRZ has the same excellent steering and handling that you can find in significantly more expensive sports cars, making it just as much fun in many cases.
