My 05 MINI Cooper JCW was getting a little old and I was finally board with it after 6 years. I buddy had a BRZ and raved about it. With a stock car on the original tires he could keep up with my modded MINI except on acceleration. I drove his car and I was hooked.

The Twins are pretty unique as lightweight RWD 4 seaters. I can't think of anything that matches that description right now. - 4 cyl Camaro/Mustang are 600-800 lbs heavier - BMW 230i is 600 lbs heavier - Q60 is 1000 lbs heavier - WRX is 600 lbs heavier and AWD - The hot hatches are all FWD/AWD The Miata is probably the closest competitor, but only seats 2 and doesn't have a true coupe option. I'd love to see BMW release a modern e36 M3 sedan. Lighweight, 4 door, N/A, RWD with a 6 speed manual and LSD. :wub::wub::wub: I'd even accept a 4 cyl turbo. That's a car I'd take over an STI or Evo. |
I bought an 86 for two reasons:
I had a '79 RX-7 at the time and loved it. The 86 has twice the power, roughly the same weight, a similar powerband, and drastically better steering/suspension. That RX-7 was the only car I've ever had where I could really make full use of it's power on the street. The 86, slow as everyone claims it is, is still too fast to really push on the street. I wanted a hardtop Miata with firmer suspension that I could live with as an only car. The 86 is supremely practical as a daily driver if you don't have kids, year round with winter tires, so it fit my needs perfectly. |
