In the end it's just a RWD coupe with 200hp... Coming to think of it, I'd rather buy the original AE86 for fun if I don't care for power...Or a Miata...A Supra maybe? MR2 Turbo ? MR-S ? Lotus Elise S1 ? Silvia S15 ?


If you do your math, no matter what hidden costs an older car may have, it probably won't be as much as the difference in purchasing price from a used to a spanking new car...

But I'd buy a new WRX STI

Plus you guys got all the muscle cars available for really cheap, I don't get why this car attracts you so much ?
I'll tell you why Muscle cars don't get my attention. Styling and layout. I like low-slung sleek sports coupes with a low to the ground feeling and sport seats. A MC is big,chunky, and high riding vehicle with a boxy look. All of those reasons make it simple for me.
