2007 Yamaha Tour Deluxe

This is the maintenance schedule and associated service intervals for the Yamaha Royal Star (XVZ1300), produced between 1998 and 2013, but remaining mechanically unchanged the whole time (with carburettors).

The Yamaha Royal Star range of motorcycles are all large comfortable cruisers, based on a 1298cc V-four liquid-cooled engine. It's incredibly comfortable (as should be obvious from the pictures), with all the amenities you could expect from a luxury touring bike, including a cassette deck in earlier models that evolved all the way to a Star-branded iPod touch in the last ones.

The Yamaha Royal Star was released in a few variations

• Royal Star Venture — a fully-loaded touring bike with hard bags and a fairing
• Royal Star Boulevard — A stripped back cruiser with a smaller screen and no luggage
• Royal Star Tour Classic — A tourer with soft saddlebags
• Royal Star Venture Millennium — A cream and white styled tourer
• Royal Star Deluxe Solitaire — A classic bobber

The longer-range Royal Star Venture tourers came with CB radios and communication systems for between the front and back seats.

Generally the maintenance is the same for all the motorcycles. The main difference is in the brakes — some models fit some brake pads, and some others (see below)

What you need to service the Yamaha Royal Star Venture XVZ1300

So you want to service your own huge V4 behemoth do you? Congratulations! Well, set yourself up with some basic motorcycle maintenance tools, and then get some of these parts specific to your Yamaha Royal Star motorcycle.

Product	Yamaha Royal Star XVZ1300 spec
Oil	The manual recommends Yamalube 10W-40, or any other oil that has API service SG type or higher, JASO standard MA (even Shell Rotella T6 meets this spec). Tighten the drain bolts to the right torque (use a torque wrench) of 43 Nm or 32 ft-lb.
Oil filter	Replace the oil filter every second time you change the oil. Standard Yamaha part is 5GH-1344061-00, or you can use a Hiflofiltro HF303RC . The benefit of the K&N is you don't need a special tool to remove it (you can use a regular wrench). Tighten to 17 Nm (12 ft-lb).
Spark plugs	Use NGK spark plugs with code DPR7EA-9. Make sure they're gapped to 0.8-0.9mm with an appropriate spark plug gapping tool, and tightened to 12 lb-ft (17.5 Nm) with an appropriate torque wrench.
Air filter	You can use the K&N part YA-1399 as a drop-in replacement.
Brake pads	A popular drop-in replacement for many motorcycles are EBC double-hardened brake pads, for longer life, and less fade under hard braking. Choose the right one for your model. * Front brakes XVZ1300 Royal Star Venture, Roayl Star Boulevard, Standard, Venture, Tour Classic, and Tour Deluxe (to 01): FA123HH * Front brakes for XVZ1300 Royal Star Venture S, Midnight Tour, Midnight Venture, Tour Deluxe 05-07: FA179HH * Rear brakes: FA123HH (all models) See the image below if you're confused, from the EBC catalogue.
Brake Fluid	You can use any DOT 4 brake fluid (the one we recommend is a high-grade synthetic one)
Final gear oil	The manual says SAE 80 API "GL-4" hypoid gear oil. Lucas Oil 80W-90 meets this spec.

Yamaha Royal Star Maintenance Schedule

Below is the maintenance schedule for the Yamaha Royal Star motorcycles.

The maintenance for the Yamaha Royal Star Venture is broken into two sections: periodic maintenance for emission control systems, and general maintenance and lubrication.

Notes on how often to do service on the Royal Star:

• For items marked with an asterisk (everything other than changing the oil and lubing chain/pivot points): Yamaha says "Since these items require special tools, data and technical skills, consider having a Yamaha dealer or mechanic perform the service"
• Air filter:
  • Yamaha used to say you should clean the air filter; in later years they changed this to say you should preferably replace them.
  • The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
• Intervals:
  • The service intervals are in miles from the US manual, and KM from the European/APAC manuals. They don't quite match up, but they're directionally similar.
  • After the end of the maintenance schedule, follow the schedule in the same pattern every. Most things are either every one, two, or four services.
• Hydraulic brake and clutch system
  • After disassembling the brake or clutch master cylinders, caliper cylinders or clutch release cylinder, always change the fluid.
  • Regularly check the brake and clutch fluid levels and fill the reservoirs as required.
  • Replace the oil seals on the inner parts of the brake or clutch master cylinders, caliper cylinders and clutch release cylinder every two years.
  • Replace the brake and clutch hoses every four years, or if cracked or damaged.

Regular maintenance table for the Yamaha Royal Star

About the Yamaha Royal Star

The Royal Star motorcycles have a super-smooth 1,294cc V-four liquid-cooled powerplant wrapped in a high tensile steel frame built to carry two people and plenty of gear in ultimate two-wheel comfort.

The Yamaha Royal Star's engine wasn't the first V4 that Yamaha had made. Much earlier, they had made the Star Venture, whose engine was the basis for the iconic V-Max.

But the Yamaha Royal Star was the first Star motorcycle that Yamaha introduced. The Star brand is basically Yamaha's premium touring brand, designed to compete somewhat with the Indian motorcycle range (which was in hibernation at the time, resurrected in the late 2000s).

Like many touring motorcycles of the time, Yamaha released versions of the Royal Star in cruiser, light touring (with leather saddlebags and and a windscreen), and full bagger versions.

The Yamaha Royal Star's drivetrain was very advanced for that of a tourer. The 1,294cc V4 engine (already advanced, without adding more) had four valves per cylinder, overhead camshafts, and shim over bucket valves. It used a five speed transmission and a drive shaft.

The engine is really what makes this bike special. A V-twin is nice, but the rumble of a V4 really sounds like an old-school big-bore V8 from a muscle car.

Manual for the Yamaha Royal Star

The above information was gleaned from the owner's manual for the 2008-2009 Yamaha Royal Star Venture, with adaptations from earlier models.

The 1050 Adventure will sit as the entry level to the four bike travel enduro series underneath the 1290 Super Adventure and the recently-revised 1190 Adventure and 1190 Adventure R.

The 1050 Adventure features a 1050cc 4-stroke, liquid cooled v-twin lump similar to the power-plant found in KTM�s 1190 range.  It might be the smallest of KTM's Adventure family but the 1050�s v-twin motor produces a fair 95bhp and with overall weight at 212kg,

Despite being the �entry level� model, the 1050 Adventure comes with KTM�s top spec Ride Mode Technology electronics package as standard, including ABS and a traction control system that allows more or less slippage on the rear wheel depending on the chosen ride mode.

KTM are positioning the 1050 as a perfect first adventure bike and to promote that position an optional power restriction kit is available opening the bike up to motorcycle newbies with an A2 license.

GLOBAL PREMIERE: KTM 1050 ADVENTURE

A bike perfectly calibrated to all who love a dynamic travel enduro, and place importance on reasonable purchase and ownership costs, but who are unwilling to do without a generous measure of power and modern equipment.

Based on the same first-rate technology platform as its sister models, the new KTM 1050 ADVENTURE has a different engine, which may have less displacement and power but has lost neither its refinement nor its fizzy punch thanks to elaborate adaptations. ABS and traction control are standard here as well.

The value conscious, the all-rounders, the gourmets, the connoisseurs, the I-take-my-bike-everywhere riders � for all of them, four great KTM protagonists form a coherent and complete ADVENTURE family and the most attractive model range in the whole travel enduro segment in 2015.

If you are one of those people who think that less can be more with a travel enduro, that touring is mainly about agility, straightforward functionality and absolute predictability, but you still would not want to miss out on the typical KTM virtues and technological progress per se, then the new KTM 1050 ADVENTURE is the bike for you. At 95 hp of power out of 1,050 cc of displacement and at 212 kg of weight, it has an exemplary power-to-weight ratio, as well as a fuel mileage that goes easy on your wallet and also allows for a great range. In addition, the refined V2 engine with a state-of-the-art engine management and ride-by-wire throttle offers everything that a top quality travel enduro needs. And with first-rate WP Suspension components and the unsurpassed brakes by global market leader Brembo, the chassis easily copes with all challenges arising from the wide range of missions the KTM 1050 Adventure is capable of.

EVERYTHING ENDURO TRAVELLERS NEED

Even though the concept of the 1050 is based on a certain restraint and a return back to the original values of the Adventure concept, the entry level bike of KTM's Travel range cannot really be seen as a technologically reduced or sparsely equipped motorbike. For example, the KTM 1050 ADVENTURE would not deserve to be among the MY 2015 Adventure models without KTM Ride Mode technology, ABS and a traction control that allows more or less slippage on the rear wheel depending on the chosen ride mode. Those who think this proposal still does not quite cover all their bases might find the comprehensive KTM range of accessories has what they are looking for to upgrade the KTM 1050 ADVENTURE to their individual specification. From the luggage system to heated seats and grips to an alarm system, the PowerParts program has everything that touring riders might like, no matter if they plan to use their KTM 1050 ADVENTURE for short weekend trips, long holiday journeys or extended adventure travelling.

THE KTM PHILOSOPHY IN A NUTSHELL

The scope of the KTM 1050 ADVENTURE spans the complete bandwidth from enjoyable cruising to aggressive corner surfing, from commuting to holiday trips and even excursions into the fascinating world beyond the tarmac. With its unbeatably low weight, its impressive riding dynamics and its exemplary safety, it is a paragon of all the traditional KTM virtues. And since it is such an exceedingly capable touring bike, highly versatile and with razor sharp precision, it does not have to fear a single one of its competitors. Not the least in view of its price, it is a top choice for all purists as well as riders buying their first travel enduro, and thanks to an optional power restriction kit, it is even for beginners with A2 licences.'

Review

The so-called entry level travel enduro bike in KTM�s four bike series is the 1050 Adventure. It�s from the same stable as the 1290 Super Adventure and the recently-revised 1190 Adventure and 1190 Adventure R.

But did KTM need another adventure bike meaning this four-bike range is only covered by less than 250cc?

Thankfully, the Austrian�s thought so.

Competition in this dual-purpose sector of on-road adventure bikes is stiff for the brand new KTM.  Yamaha�s awesome MT-09 Tracer, BMW�s forthcoming S1000XR, Kawasaki�s revamped Versys 1000, Triumph�s all-new Tiger 800XRx / XCx as well as Honda�s new VFR800X Crossrunner are all vying for the same type of customer.

The 1050 Adventure uses a revised version of the existing 1195cc, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, V-twin engine to produce 1,050cc. Bore and stroke were reduced from 105mm and 69mm to 103mm 63mm respectively while low-rev performance was enhanced to offer a very healthy and surprising mid-range torque. The first time I rode the 1050 Adventure I�d just hopped off the extraordinary 2015 Yamaha R1 after speed runs at Bruntingthorpe proving ground so I wasn�t expecting eye-popping performance.

Though the spec sheet shows max power of 95bhp at 6,200rpm and 79 ft-lbs of torque, on paper the bikes performance doesn�t immediately appear mind-blowing. Ok, it�s not designed to challenge litre sports bikes off the line but it�s got plenty of grunt to startle. As you�d expect from a V-Twin, the lower revs are soft and unintimidating but mid-range is where it springs alive. If accelerating hard with throttle wide open, the little red needle soon powers �round the tachometer to the 8,500rpm limiter and if the stutter in performance isn�t enough to prompt an up-change, a red flashing light on the instrument panel will be. That said, the torque curve peaks at 6,500rpm so changing up before limiter is wise move for more rapid forward propulsion.

The bike can be restricted to conform with A2 licence regulations which encourages less experienced riders a great opportunity to step up to a big traily bike. This option simply restricts the amount of throttle offered which in turn restricts the power. Naturally, it can be derestricted once the appropriate test is passed.

For the shorter rider it is worth noting the standard-fit seat height is not adjustable. While it is the lowest in the KTM adventure range, at 850mm it�s taller than all of the aforementioned rivals except the highest setting on the Tracer. Weighing 212kg (dry), the KTM isn�t a heavyweight in its class and has a narrow enough seat/tank to make the bike easy to manoeuvre around town and in the faster corners. WP suspension and standard-fit Metzeler Tourance Next road-biased tyres offer excellent stability in the corners and overall the 1050 impressed on the road, it felt easy to ride. This is helped along with the ride-by-wire throttle which makes acceleration non-hesitant or juddery. Couple the torquey mid-range and an agile balance and you�ve got a practical, versatile bike with enough power to get the adrenaline pumping.

The one-piece rider/pillion seat is shaped well for a comfortable riding position but after an hour or so on the bike I found it a little firm. Firm enough to want to stretch my legs and move around the seat but not bad enough to stop and get off. As with the 1190, KTM offer an accessory seat as an optional extra. When riding two-up my pillion, the 5�5� Mrs Mann, noted the comfort of her seat position particularly with its height. She pointed out minimal wind buffeting behind me and that the foot pegs were positioned low enough down the sub-frame to be comfortable and not too tall to mount/dismount ungracefully.

In terms of additional comfort and riding position options, the windshield is adjustable but not on the move. Unlock two clamps with a quick flick and the screen slides up or down through 25mm and at 6ft I would certainly recommend the highest possible position unless you fancy tucking in. The handlebars are wider than the 1190 and are adjustable through 20mm while the foot pegs are adjustable by 10mm.

Technologically, the KTM offers plenty of options to tailor the ride depending on road and weather conditions. ABS is switchable as is the clever MSC (Motorcycle Stability Control) lean-sensitive cornering system which can be found on the 1190 Adventure and 1290 Super Adventure. The three riding modes offer a choice between Sport, Street and Rain � each offers a differing degree of available power and traction control. Off-Road mode is an optional extra and can be fitted subsequently.

The left-hand side of the info-packed instrument panel is operated by a four-way directional pad, back and action buttons on the left-side of the handlebars. It�s fairly user-friendly although looks-wise is a little dated and dull yet offers plenty of information. From MPG to tank range, date/time to odometer there are plenty of options to select for your Favourites page.

While on the right-hand side of the dashboard is a large, analogue rev counter and digital information including gear change indicator, time, fuel gauge, speed and current riding mode.

Best cheap fast cars 2020

Driving thrills on a budget? Look no further than our best cheap fast cars

17 Mar 2020

Fast, powerful cars are - a sad but unavoidable truth - expensive to buy and expensive to run. Most petrolheads drool over ridiculously high-powered supercars or rip-snorting sports cars yet these are often unobtainable for the average man on the street. The only way most people would be able to afford a high performance car would be to remortage their house or selling  body parts (both of which we strongly advise agaisnt). Spending thousands upon thousands of pounds on buying, insuring and maintaining a high performance car is an avenue open to very few of us but the are cheap, fast cars that bring some of the thrill-factor within financial reach.

You could, of course, get around the issue by hunting through the classifieds and buying a used car with big performance but you'll still be opening yourself up to some sobering insurance, fuel and maintenance bills. Used cars aren't for everyone anyway and buying a car which might have been thrashed all its life is not a particularly enticing prospect.

Which is where this list comes in. Below you will find our top 10 best cheap fast cars – a collection of cars that we think offer strong performance, great handling and, for the most part, a lively exhaust note. While they won't offer you supercar pace, they can provide a whole lot of fun for not a lot of money, either up front or in the long run.

The good news about most cheaper models is that they're often more practical than the vehicles higher up on the performance tree. They tend to have smaller, less powerful engines, which return better fuel economy and cost much less to tax and insure. Maintenance fees will be lower than on pricey exotic models, and these cars can often be a true daily driver.

Some of our chosen models will suit a track day a bit better than others – the first generation Lotus Elise, for example, is a lightweight two-seater sports car with no creature comforts at all. It's perfect for a weekend drive or track days, but might not be the best car to commute in.

On the other hand, the Jagaur S-Type R is perfect for those who want to have a bit of fun on their daily drives. Its lively handling makes it a blast on the road, and with 395bhp available from its 4.2-litre V8 it's a great choice as a cheap fast car.

Subaru Impreza

• We found: WRX STi 2.0 (2005/05-reg, 87k miles)
• Price new: £26,252
• Now: £9,750
• Engine: 2.0-litre 4cyl, 276bhp
• Economy: 25.4mpg
• CO2: 265g/km
• Euro NCAP: N/A

The Impreza WRX STi is one of the older cars in this price bracket, with an enthusiastic fanbase keeping values high. Still, this rally-bred special remains one of the fastest and most capable sports saloons available.

Drawing on that WRC heritage, the WRX STi uses a 276bhp 2.0-litre flat-four turbo, and has pumped-up styling. The looks aren't for everyone, but it's hard to argue with the driving experience; addictive acceleration and tenacious grip and traction in all weathers make the car one of the fastest ways to tackle a British B-road.

Jaguar XK8

• We found: 4.2 V8 (2006/06-reg, 87k miles)
• Price new: £59,802
• Now: £8,495
• Engine: 4.2-litre V8, 296bhp
• Economy: 25.0mpg
• CO2: 269g/km
• Euro NCAP: N/A

The Jaguar XK is a car right at the bottom of its depreciation curve; in just over 12 years and 87,000 miles, the example we found has shed over £50,000.

But with its smooth, characterful 4.2-litre V8, great chassis and refined long-distance cruising ability, the Jag could even increase in price if you find a cared-for model as it becomes recognised as a modern classic. Now is the time to buy if you've been after one of these British GTs.

Running costs will still be steep, but the car will be fun to own if you can stomach the servicing, fuel and tax bills

Jaguar S-Type

• We found: R 4.2 V8 (2007/57-reg, 76k miles)
• Price new: £44,807
• Now: £6,000
• Engine: 4.2-litre V8, 395bhp
• Economy: 22.7mpg
• CO2: 294g/km
• Euro NCAP: 4 stars (2002)

Its yesteryear styling might divide opinion, yet there is little to argue about where the S-Type R's value and performance are concerned. High-mileage, under-maintained examples can be had for less than £5,000, but to save yourself the headache of repair costs, we suggest you find a better cared-for, more expensive car.

The S-Type's chassis is taut and balanced, its ride is good and its engine provides a surprising turn of speed and incredible V8 character. The top speed is 155mph, 0-62mph takes 5.3 seconds and thanks to great torque, in-gear acceleration is respectable.

Lotus Elise

• We found: 1.8 111S (1999/V-reg, 80k miles)
• Price new:£26,645
• Now: £12,950
• Engine: 1.8-litre 4cyl, 143bhp
• Economy: 38.7mpg
• CO2: N/A
• Euro NCAP: N/A

Little else this side of a motorcycle can match the thrills of an Elise. An aluminium chassis and lack of any unnecessary comforts or kit sees the 111S weigh in at less than 750kg. Despite a seemingly modest 143bhp from its mid-mounted, Rover-derived 1.8-litre engine, it delivers 0-60mph in less than six seconds.

But it's the way the Lotus tackles bends that's likely to delight keen drivers most. The steering is light but brimming with feel, and the Elise corners with balance, precision and fluidity – just as a true sports car should.

Porsche 911

• We found: Carrera S (2003/53-reg, 90k miles)
• Price new: £56,505
• Now: £15,000
• Engine: 3.6-litre flat six, 316bhp
• Economy: 25.5mpg
• CO2: 269g/km
• Euro NCAP: N/A

Among diehard Porsche enthusiasts, the 996 is seen as the poor relation of the 911 bloodline. That's great for used buyers; while some generations fetch huge money, early 2000s examples are still incredibly affordable.

There's still much to love. The characterful flat six sounds great and delivers strong performance, while the rear-engined balance was tamed over the previous 993, so it's fun without leaving your knuckles white.

But as with any performance car, a full service history will keep you relaxed come maintenance time as well.

BMW M3

• We found: M3 (E92, 2013/13-reg, 67k miles)
• Price new: £53,915
• Now: £19,000
• Engine: 4.0-litre V8, 414bhp
• Economy: 22.8mpg
• CO2: 290g/km
• Euro NCAP: 5 stars (2013)

A truly usable sports car, the BMW M3 offers practicality, comfort and enough performance to worry the Porsche 911 of its day. Its 4.0-litre engine means it'll sprint from 0-62mph in 4.8 seconds, while the six-speed manual gearbox allows you to make the most of all that lovely V8 muscle. The chassis is arguably the best point, and features lightweight aluminium suspension, sharp steering and a limited-slip differential that combine to deliver great handling and balance.

As a top-of-the-line model when it was new, the M3 offers a generously equipped interior. It comes as standard with electric leather seats, climate control and an infotainment system that was decent when judged against the standards of the time. Shop around and you can easily find a second- hand model with electronic dampers, automatic xenon headlights and parking sensors, too.

Aston Martin DB7

• We found: 3.2 (1995/N-reg, 49k miles)
• Price new: £85,005 Now: £18,995
• Engine: 3.2-litre straight-six, 335bhp
• Economy: 18.0mpg
• CO2: 370g/km
• Euro NCAP: N/A

As the Aston Martin DB7 nears its 25th birthday, collectors are recognising its value and low-mileage V12-engined models are being advertised north of £40,000. Yet for £17,000-£20,000, you can still find an early, well-maintained, supercharged six-cylinder edition.

It produces 335bhp and 500Nm of torque, giving a 5.7-second 0-62mph time and 165mph top speed. Just do your research first. Early models suffered from reliability issues, and servicing can be costly.

Tesla Model S

• We found: P85 (2014/14-reg, 87k miles)
• Price new: £74,135
• Now: £33,750
• Engine: Electric motor, 463bhp
• Range: 312 miles
• CO2: 0g/km
• Euro NCAP: 5 stars (2014)

The Model S just sneaks under the half-price barrier, so it definitely warrants inclusion in this feature. It's one of the best used EVs on sale, and its hero status among enthusiasts is assured. In fact, the Tesla was one of the first pure-electric cars to offer a range of more than 300 miles, with all this tech wrapped in an appealingly premium package.

Early models still have access to Tesla's Supercharger network for free, so it's not only fuel costs you'll be saving on. The example we've chosen is a P85, which can sprint from 0-62mph in only 4.4 seconds. The real draw of an electric executive car isn't the acceleration, though, but the near-silent running wherever you go. There's only a faint whine from the motor, and some wind and road noise at speed, but the driving experience is very relaxing. Also, tech fans will love the huge central touchscreen, which will still feel modern in 2019 even in this 14-plate model.

Porsche Cayman

• We found: 2.9 (987, 2012/12-reg, 46k miles)
• Price new: £39,262
• Now: £20,750
• Engine:2.9-litre flat six, 262bhp
• Economy:30.1mpg
• CO2:221g/km
• Euro NCAP:N/A

Even in this base spec, the Cayman offers fantastic handling, thanks to its balanced mid-engined, rear-drive layout. Its steering is well weighted, and excellent grip further boosts its agility. Straight-line speed is respectable, too, with the Porsche's 262bhp 2.9-litre naturally aspirated flat six enabling a 0-62mph time of 5.8 seconds and a 165mph top speed.

• Best sports cars 2019

First-generation cars are now becoming accessible, with early, high-mileage examples costing as little as £9,000. But we suggest you hold out for a later, low-mileage model – preferably with Active Suspension Management.

Jaguar F-Type

• We found: Convertible 3.0 V6 auto (2013/13-reg, 35k)
• Price new: £57,900
• Now: £24,690
• Engine: 3.0-litre V6, 335bhp
• Economy: 31.5mpg
• CO2: 209g/km
• Euro NCAP: N/A

The F-Type arrived half a century after Jaguar's legendary E-Type sports car was launched – but it was worth the wait. With supercharged V6 power even in the entry-level model we've picked out, 335bhp was enough for a 5.1- second 0-62mph time with the smooth eight-speed auto.

Looks to die for, beautiful handling, the thrill of a drop-top body and that sonorous V6 are available for the price of a family hatch today, making the striking F-Type a relative bargain buy. Styling changes compared with new models are minimal, so it still looks contemporary.

2-Door Coupe Automatic

2-Door Coupe Automatic Release Series 2.0

2-Door Coupe Manual

The 2016 Scion FR-S is the perfect affordable sports car for many, with just enough in the way of creature comforts to keep it livable as a daily driver as well.

For 2016, Scion has given the FR-S its first meaningful update. Changes are mostly minor but include some visual tweaks and new trim for the cabin, a couple new colors, a new standard audio system, and the addition of a rearview camera. The new equipment comes with a slight price bump—about $400.

The FR-S has a nimble and fun to drive spirit, with just enough of the modern conveniences, technology, and safety equipment to keep it from being a penalty box anywhere but a twisty mountain road. It's a sports car at its essence and among the purest of enthusiast cars on the market today, and it's also quite affordable.

Simple surfaces give the FR-S classic proportions. Details at the nose and tail provide a modern, aerodynamic look to the car. Inside, the Scion FR-S is basic, but well-built and handsome—if not quite beautiful.

Review continues below

This little Scion touts the brand's economical and relatively practical qualities, but they're not necessarily the focus for the FR-S. Instead, this Subaru-built, Toyota-designed sports coupe is engineered for fun above all else.

It's powered by a 2.0-liter horizontally opposed 4-cylinder engine that produces 200 horsepower. At 151 pound-feet, it's not exactly a torque monster, especially in the low-rev range. You can run the car all the way up to its 7,400-rpm redline, though, where you'll find a little more power when you need it. As long as you don't putting some work in, the 2.0-liter engine rewards you. The engine is a variation of a Subaru design, with Toyota's direct- and port-injection system added in.

Steering is a mixed bag, with the precise and well-weighted electric power assist taking out much of the feel, leaving behind an intuitive and quick—but not very communicative—wheel. The brakes are easy to modulate and adequate for the car's weight and tire fitment, easily surviving a half-dozen laps on track or a long, fast canyon run. And the FR-S actually uses low-rolling-resistance tires, like those you'd normally find on a hybrid or fuel-economy special, in part to limit overall grip and let the driver toss the tail around a bit.

Once you've reconciled yourself with grabbing the flat four by the nape of its neck and squeezing for all it's worth, the FR-S becomes a second skin. Nimble, light (by modern standards), and incredibly neutral in its balance, the Scion FR-S captures the essence of what a sports car should be: honest, inexpensive fun.

Sitting in the FR-S isn't a chore, either. Though there's a sound pipe to bring some of the car's growling engine note into the cabin, very little actual exhaust noise is heard at all. Wind and road noise can become prominent at speeds above 70 mph.

But the seats, in the front, are where the FR-S's interior really shines. Well-bolstered, comfortable, with plenty of leg and hip room for larger and taller drivers, the front seats are an excellent offering for a production vehicle. The rear seat is best reserved for children and shorter adults, though it is serviceable for even 6-footers in a pinch.

On the equipment front, there's not much to talk about: the Scion FR-S only has a few choices to be made. Fortunately, those choices include available premium audio with apps capability, while standard gear includes Bluetooth, keyless entry, and climate control.

Six airbags, anti-lock brakes, stability and traction control are all among the standard safety equipment, as well as the newly standard rearview camera. Federal officials have given the FR-S a five-star overall score—including four stars in front crash protection—while the IIHS has rated it "Good" in all categories—save for an "Acceptable" score in the new small overlap frontal category, still good enough for a Top Safety Pick award.

Fuel economy for a lightweight, low power sports coupe should be predictably better. The manual-transmission Scion FR-S is rated by the EPA at 22 mpg city, 30 highway, 25 combined, which is good—but should be better.

With spare lines and a minimum of detail, the Scion FR-S's styling reflects its mission.

Despite drawing inspiration from classic Japanese sports car design, the Scion FR-S is a modern car with current styling.

Sleek, low, and curvy, the FR-S carries the old-school long hood/short deck proportions that, for many, define the look of a sports car. Detail work at the nose includes a wide grille opening, sharply angled vents in the lower fascia, and smooth curves that flow into the hood and fenders.

The fenders themselves are slightly flared and also bulge upward from the hood line. A simple side profile sees the roof sweep up and dive down again in a graceful arc, meeting the rear fenders and stubby tail.

The cabin of the FR-S follows this form-follows-function, minimalist aesthetic, using carbon-look accents and durable plastics molded in flowing, simple lines. The nearly monochromatic upholstery helps put the gauge cluster front-and-center for the driver. For 2016, the interior is prettied up a bit with some new silver accent trim pieces.

Review continues below

We'll call it a modern classic: the FR-S is affordable, nimble, and has reachable, real-world handling limits.

The 2016 Scion FR-S continues to offer a single engine with a choice of two transmissions. Thanks to its solid, well-tuned chassis, the FR-S is just as fun with the automatic as it is with the standard manual gearbox.

Power isn't the Scion FR-S's strong suit or its focus and never has been. Its Subaru-supplied 200-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder horizontally opposed engine sits low and rearward in the nose, linked to either a 6-speed manual or a paddle-shifted 6-speed automatic powering the rear wheels. Maximum torque output is 151 pound-feet, arriving at 400 rpm short of the 7,000-rpm power peak. Neither power nor torque figures are impressive, even for a lightweight sports car. Fortunately, the FR-S is less about straightline speed or acceleration—it manages a 6.8-second 0–60 mph time—than it is about what it does when the road bends.

What the FR-S does in corners is convert gasoline and $25,000 into an infinite supply of fun behind the wheel. Light, tossable, and balanced, the FR-S's does not have very high limits, thanks in part to fairly low-grip standard tires. Those limits are very approachable and, best of all, it's easy to keep the FR-S near them—a feat almost impossible, on the street or the track, in stratospherically high-performance cars. For 2015, the suspension was mildly retuned to mimic that of the Subaru BRZ more closely.

A number of factory performance upgrades are also available through Scion dealers, including a cold-air intake; an exhaust system; lowering springs; strut tie braces; anti-roll bars; upgraded wheels; and larger brake kits.

Review continues below

The FR-S has big trunk space and room for two adults in front, about the best you can expect from a sports coupe.

Don't be fooled by the Scion FR-S's spartan interior. While there may not be too many moving parts inside, the things you can touch all feel solid and well-built. It manages to be just utilitarian enough while avoiding the feeling of having been built to a price.

The little Scion coupe's front seats are roomy and comfortable, while also offering enough bolstering for support during spirited driving. Head and leg room are also quite good, allowing the car to accommodate drivers over 6 feet tall with ease. The rear seats are small, and only minimal knee and leg room is available with the front seats at their rearmost positions. With slightly shorter front-row occupants, the rear seat can work even for taller adults, but on the whole, it's best reserved for children and gear.

Cargo space isn't abundant, but it's not bad for a 2+2 coupe (four people fit in the FR-S, in theory) especially if you utilize the rear seats for cargo. The trunk is reasonably sized with a well-shaped aperture allowing medium-sized bags to fit easily. The rear seats also fold flat to open up much more horizontal space, though taller items won't fit in the shallow trunk.

Scion says the FR-S was designed to hold four wheels and tires, a toolbox, a helmet, and a driver—all you need for a basic day at the track.

Review continues below

Scion's done well with the FR-S' crash-test safety.

Advanced technology safety features like blind-spot monitors and lane-keeping aren't available in the Scion FR-S, but, at the $25,000 price point, that's understandable.

The NHTSA has given the FR-S a five-star overall score—which includes a four-star score for frontal crash protection. The IIHS has rated it "Good" in all categories, save for an "Acceptable" in the new small-overlap frontal category.

Standard safety equipment includes the basics such as six airbags, anti-lock brakes, and stability and traction control. A limited-slip differential improves low-grip traction and starts from a stop. For 2016, all FR-S models gain a rearview camera, which alleviates the problem of its mild blind spots when backing up.

The FR-S keeps it simple in terms of features, but a premium sound kit is offered.

The 2016 Scion FR-S isn't available with many optional features, but the standard kit is pretty good on its own merits.

For 2016, the FR-S comes with a standard touchscreen audio system as well as a rearview camera. The infotainment system has a 7.0-inch screen and voice control.

Most of the options and upgrades can be had a la carte rather than bundled into pricey packages, which makes it easier to get just the FR-S you want, without stuff you don't need. Highlights of the standard equipment include manually adjustable six-way driver and four-way passenger front seats; fold-flat rear seats; a first-aid kit; a leather-wrapped steering wheel; an eight-speaker audio system; and USB/Bluetooth/auxiliary inputs.

Some of the optional extras for the FR-S include accessories like wheel locks, carpeted trunk and cabin floor mats, an ashtray kit, and mud guards. Scion dealers also offer performance items, such as suspension kits and larger wheels.

One notable absence from the options list is navigation. If you want this same basic car with navigation, you'll want to check out the slightly pricier Subaru BRZ.

Review continues below

The FR-S focuses on high-revving fun, but fuel economy doesn't suffer too badly.

When 455-horsepower sports cars like the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray achieve as much as 30 mpg highway, the Scion FR-S's 200 horsepower and combined ratings between 25 and 28 mpg rating are underwhelming.

The manual-transmission Scion FR-S is rated by the EPA at 22 mpg city, 30 highway, 25 combined. Those are good, but not especially impressive figures for a compact, lightweight 4-cylinder car.

The automatic transmission in the 2016 Scion FR-S is the clear winner for fuel economy, even if it's not quite as much fun to play with. With it optioned, the figures land at 25/34/28 mpg—much closer to what we'd expect for the FR-S.

This car never let me down but I must admit behaving is the key to not replacing tires too often. The interior is extravagant compared to most passenger car crap out there. There is nothing cheap or cheesy about this interior, whatsoever. It has the feel of a much more expensive car inside and it feels like an extension of you when you drive it. The little 2.0 has the feel of a much more powerful car if you drive a manual and you're deliberate about your shifting. It can fool you also, if you corner too hard, it does have enough power to break the back end loose and it will.
The FRS should be respected and the driver that gives the car the time that it takes to appreciate it, gets rewarded every time he drives it. Btw, this is the only car I ever bought two identicle of. I have a black 2013 manual, I'm buying a black 2016 manual. If that doesn't say I love this car, I don't know what will. + More »

Certainly not a practical car, as it has little space for passengers and cargo.
A near perfect driver's position, with tilt-telescoping wheel, E brake right next to the thigh, small steering wheel, extremely comfortable seat, great pedals for heel and toeing, easily readable digital speedometer. Intuitive manual HVAC controls, with quick acting rear window defogger. This ride also has a Torsen limited slip differential, and certainly stability controls for safety, yet the ability to turn them off when that's wanted.
Bar all else, this car is fun to drive, best bang for the buck in a driver's car.
Does best on winding back roads, does well as a freeway cruiser also.
Best fun to drive car, non-convertible for it's price.
Totally reliable car for me, at one year old, 22,600 miles with zero problems so far. No reason to take it back under warranty so far.
The only negatives of this car are blind spots, and the fact that there is just 4.9 inches of ground clearance. Watch out for those parking stops (concrete barriers). Additionally it's very difficult to tell just exactly where the front of the car is from the driver's seat. Yet these things are quite common for a sports type car.
Other FRS/BRZ drivers have stated this car has a slightly harsh ride when driven over potholed city streets. Some of those same people have stated that this car is great in snow and ice when it has four snow/ice tires installed.

Wanting a Lotus Elise or Porsche Cayman but can't afford one, the FRS is closest to those cars for a fraction of the money.
Looking for a ride which keeps you smiling always whilst driving, often laughing, this is it.

My problem has always been having to wring the life out of it to get the power out but Toyota have compromised this with a nice manual and clutch,so not much power is squandered away. The drive is good enough but don't expect to smoke anyone off the line; this car is for donuts,drifts and redline speed.
But you'll be hitting the service bay soon,price to pay for blowing the nuts off constantly at high RPMs
Highly recommended, but PLEASE, don't buy it for the accleration. Buy it because it's fun, because it's insane and because it's that compact Carrera/Cayman brought to you in a happy little affordable package. + More »
