I'm not a fan of the new front end either. If I ever trade in, I'll be going for the BRZ next time for sure. The entire design just seems way better than the 86.

My son has a '14 FRS and I prefer it to the newer 86.....one more reason when we buy one, it will probably be a BRZ.

I'm no expert, but the stock 86 is happy in situations where my stock FR-S was on the edge. "Better" is subjective, I guess, and the because racecar crowd will only have the stock suspension for a matter of minutes anyway. As far a quieter, more of that, please.

I actually like the new 86 after seeing it in person. IDK it took awhile but it grew on me. If I were to buy one today it would be an 86 over the BRZ.

It does look better in person (still not good, but better). The new BRZ looks spectacular though...
