If I could find an unmolested FR-S manual with semi-low miles I'd get that. Lower price, super reliable and dependable.

I'd go with the BRZ. In my area finding a manual 86 is ridiculously difficult. Dealers just don't stock them and those for sale are priced ridiculously high.

Plus, it's basically a BRZ anyway...

This. I don't want a computer attempting to override my inputs. It seems as if that would cause more issues than it's worth.

I redline it a couple half dozen times in the driveway when it snows to get it warm faster. [emoji57]

Agreed on all counts. I buy cars to enjoy them, not hope they appreciate in value a few decades from now. Hell, I doubt the government will even let us put gas powered cars on the road by then.

One change, or option, I'd like to see is a 3-door hatch option like the old school 86. The backseats are all but useless and having extra flat storage would be preferable, at least to me.

Depending on where you are I'd suggest Craigslist or local salvage yards. If you use Craigslist, take a friend and let someone know when and where you're going.

Supra...killing the 86/BRZ?

With the announcement of a 'low powered' Supra is there a chance it could kill our beloved 86?

The 86/BRZ are quickly closing in on $30k base, at least in my area, and if they can release a $35k...
