We’d like to congratulate those who purchased a new Scion FR-S (Toyota GT 86) for their choice, because this little sportscar just got awarded again over its value for money.
Thrills behind the wheel doesn’t need to rip off your wallet and that’s why the $24,700 Scion FR-S got named “Best Sports Car for the Money” for the second time in a row by U.S. News & World Report publication.
“The 2014 FR-S ‘Best Sports Car for the Money’ award from U.S. News and World Report underscores what our drivers have already discovered – thrilling performance doesn’t have to break the budget,” said Scion Vice President Doug Murtha. “The FR-S continues to bring together affordability, experience and safety in a way that excites drivers and the industry alike.”
In order to help consumers find a good value vehicle, the publication keeps track of the industry praise, safety and reliability scores.
Building up on the success of the original Toyota AE 86, the FR-S (GT 86) offers the classic sportscar ingredients for a very low price in the segment - good looks, engine up front, manual gearbox in the middle and transmission at the back, making for almost a 50-50 weight distribution.
Moreover, the car has been awarded with an overall five-star safety rating by NHTSA. The combined fuel consumption is set at 25 mpg for the manual and 25 for the automatic.
