Whatever you call it, it's a pretty kick-ass car that is a blast to drive (I wrote on my personal Facebook page that it is one of my favorites under US$30,000).

It is quite amazing to have online someone who professionally tested the car - thank you for that!
As for the names for car - I personally just call it "toyobaru", that explains everything I need (no idea at the moment how to squeeze "scion" into it).

I have a question about comfort of driving, specifically the level of noise inside. If I will buy Gt86 - and I have to wait till September to have it available in my country - it will be my daily drive, with occasional trips of 700+ km, in that half on the low quality roads (bumps, cracks, feeling every concrete block under suspension). As it takes about 8 hours of driving, I really do not like my current car - it is just so loud on a highway that there is no point in switching radio on.
Is there any car comparable by the level of noise inside (say, on a highway) that you could name? Something like: "a bit like bmw 3 with 4 cylinder gasoline engine, but higher pitch" or "just a tad louder than a recent subaru impreza".
