2015 Scion FR-S vs. Its Competition

2015 Scion FR-S Release Series 1.0
Nelson Ireson Nelson Ireson Senior Editor

The Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang are pony cars–or classic muscle cars, depending on how you look at them, but their sports coupe designs and affordable pricing make them interesting alternatives for the FR-S.

The 370Z is big on power, but lacks the same perfect balance found in the Scion.

The Mazda MX-Miata is even less powerful than the FR-S, but it's lighter and handles nearly as well.

Plus, it offers glorious drop-top driving enjoyment.

The BRZ is a near-twin for the FR-S, but a few handling nuances should convince you to visit both dealerships before making a decision.

In our opinion, the best reason to buy the BRZ is for its factory navigation system and xenon headlights.
