2014 or 2015 GT86 (UK)
 
Hi all,
I am considering buying a second hand GT86 and was wondering if the 2015 suspension improvement make that much of a difference that would be better to get a 2015 over a 2014 with better price and mileage.

Thanks!

Go for condition. You can always up/down grade the suspension...

The '15 model had also upgraded coil packs. The old ones had a high failure rate, especially if you saw high engine bay temperatures. Another change is the shark fin antenna, but this is just cosmetic. Overall, I would go for a '15 model and if possible for a '16 model which includes the stiffening of the rear.

i still like my 14's styling over the 15+ styling. but that said, i like the chassis improvements they made to the 15+ model years.

so if i had/have to do it again, i'd likely get the newest version i could and then change the front end and steering wheel to the '12-'14 versions.

Thanks everyone and happy new year! In the end I got a nice 2015 with reasonable miles and official manufacturer warranty. I'll pick it up this weekend, can't wait!
