How has the front bumper grown on you? I still prefer the FR-S bumper. The 86 looks like a weird catfish to me.

You picked an awesome version of the 86, welcome back to the family! [emoji106]
What are your impressions of the 2019 TRD compared to your 2013 FR-S?

My initial impression during the test drive, and is holding true over the last 2 days, is that the stability of the car overall feels a lot better. Gear change feels a lot smoother too after I dusted off my manual skills (which have never been great, to begin with) off.



The upgraded brakes and larger tires are pretty amazing - This thing is stopping on a dime and feels very in control of its size/speed. I was also surprised by how much meaner it sounds with the upgraded exhaust as well.



Creature comforts are way better than the 2013 FR-S. It's the small cabin things that I am loving over the FR-S. Push-button start, keyless entry, the additional acsents in the 2019 TRD... and it isn't badged as a Scion ;)



Overall I am extremely happy with the 2019 TRD. Before I found this one used with low miles on it I was about to pull the trigger on building out a 2020 86 GY TRD. The price felt right and I couldn't be happier. The dealer I purchased it from was also the original dealer that sold it to the original owner. The story I got was a couple bought it and then 2 months later got pregnant and traded it in for a used Highlander. It was sitting on their lot since July/August so it has been waiting for me ;)

Congrats you got a good deal. Welcome back. This has the PP breaks correct? Which dampers and does it come with trd springs already?
