Overview

The 2014 Scion FR-S Coupe makes for an excellent contender in the compact coupe class. With 2 trims on offer, the 2014 Scion FR-S Coupe has a base MSRP of $24,700 competing directly with the Subaru BRZ and indirectly with the Honda Civic Si. Only a 2.0L Flat-4 engine is offered, mated to either a 6-speed manual transmission or an optional 6-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 200 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 6.5 seconds, the Scion FR-S Coupe maintains a combined fuel economy of 25 to 28 MPG depending on the transmission. Scion offers the FR-S Coupe in more than 7 stunning colors, with the Raven being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The base Scion FR-S is a more practical choice to go with being affordable. However, you can’t afford to miss out on options like smartphone app connectivity, internet radio, and the BeSpoke audio system.
