Need an option for track car/pleasure car. I have a dd so my FT86 will be 70% pleasure/weekend vehicle and 30% track.

It'll be my daily - I'll swap it for my current daily, a Honda Accord Euro (TSX).

I just want a fun light car, that doesn't use too much fuel. this car is turning up just at the right time for me, the stars are aligning!

Daily driver. I'd like to limit the miles on my MR2; it's starting to show its age.

I plan on using my FRS as much as a track and occasion daily driver. I'm gonna have an older car to learn from and beat up as well so I can become a better driver.

My vote is dual purpose; mainly 60% alternate driven and 40% track. I'm more than likely going to wait for the kouki versions though.

Might have to wait awhile for that if they ever do bring something like that to the States.
