(It's 9 years old and it's been well used by me.) For me the pleasure is in the driving, not the machine I am driving. I spent 6 months in Western Europe and leased a 206 Diesel. I always wanted more power (it was only 68kW but the 200Nm was impressive) but I enjoyed thrashing it mercilessly. I drove a 360 Modena at Thruxton, saw 140 mph down the straights, realised I didn't have the talent to do it justice and still enjoyed driving the 206 more on winding twisty roads in mainland Europe. That's right, I enjoyed driving a shitty little French car more than an Italian masterpiece.
My 2 Euro.

Personally i dont like this car more just because of the better power to weight ratio.... I just thought it fit because like the brz/86 it is built to track...
