I’m 62. I bought a Scion xB, brand new in 2006. It is the best car I’ve ever owned. Others may have been better in one category or another, but it’s been the best overall. Still going strong at 180k.
And I have 85K on my 2.4 year old FRS. That car is a blast to drive every day on the twisties around here.
I think one of their problems is that too many old people saw the value of their cars for every day use. It screwed up their brand. I’m a musician. The box is the ultimate musician’s car.
Both of mine are sticks. Its part of the reason they are both so enjoyable.
I bought a 2016 TC last november. I almost bought an FRS, but couldn’t reconsile not having a back seat. The TC reminds me a lot of my 2000 Celica which I drove for 200K. That was the best car I ever had, only had to put 1 set of brakes around 100K and a clutch at 180K. Sold it to my boss and his kid is still driving it. Wish I still had it.
