The Scion FR-S is turning heads for the second year in a row with its 2014 model. Not only has it been named the #1 Coolest Car by Kelley Blue Book; it has also been named by Edmunds as the consumers' favorite as the best car for college graduates and the #1 affordable sports car by US News and Rankings. This car is a great pick for a recent graduate that likes to look stylish, but does not break the band. That's all great, but what is it about this modest-torque sports car that makes it so cool?

Reviewers are saying the Scion FR-S's six-speed manual is easy to handle, making it super fun to drive. The automatic is said to be very responsive. It also has a low center of gravity, making it extremely nimble during twists and turns in the road, and its rear-wheel-drive is incredibly well-balanced. The front seats themselves are particularly bolstered to lend themselves to enthusiastic driving. Toyota seems to be aiming to make the point that finesse can be just as powerful and fun as brute force.

The look itself is the simple but classic type that everyone seems to be going for these days, ...
... but with a unique twist. It's modern but edgy, and most of all, aerodynamic. This car is built to be pure fun.

Inside, an eight-speaker Pioneer system comes standard, perfect for getting you pumped up to take a spirited drive. Display technology is quite up-to-date, including a 6.1-inch touch screen, USB, Bluetooth, auxiliary output, and HD radio. For the price, this car is fully equipped to take you into a new decade in technology.

Simply put, this car is just incredibly fun to drive. Many reviewers are saying that even driving around town in the Scion FR-S puts a smile on their face. Pair that with a modest price and good fuel economy and you're looking at a great option for young people looking at buying their first car. It's going for $24K right now, a steal for the many years of fun you can expect from a Toyota or a Subaru, Scion's parent companies.

Young drivers tend to look toward online reviews for big purchases, and they will not be let down. The 2014 Scion FR-S is already widely acclaimed, averaging a 9.2 out of 10 on KBB.com's consumer ratings. This car is going to make a splash, and a big one. All the fun of driving a luxury vehicle without the price of a luxury car; who could ask for more?
