I live in New England so it's perfect for all weather with just a simple tire swap.

But I may change jobs in a few months which will mean a longer commute. I'm contemplating grabbing a used FT86 as both a project car as well as something I can drive 2-3 days a week to work. You can find low low mileage nice ones for under $20K which is real bargain for what these cars are.

Also thinking about a Miata and 370Z but my heart always goes back to the FT86.


I just bought a 2016 brz as a daily to keep my truck from getting miled out. We have a 16 focus rs that my wife daily drives. The brz definitely has a more comfy ride than the focus and gets better gas mileage. I put some Continental winter tires on the brz and it get around fine up here in the winter. My other summer car is an fd rx7. The reason i bought the brz was i wanted a light weight (hence no 370z) front engine, rear drive car that could somewhat parallel the driving experience of the rx7. Plus, the brz has ac, a radio, heated seats and power steering. The price of a pre-owned one sealed the deal for me. Ive only had mine a couple of weeks, its a great little car!
