im pretty close to a zealot. i think this is the most important car to come stateside since the miata in 89 because what i want to have is fun and these cars seem to have good value in terms of smile per dollar

Well, it is a win - if you're looking for the best handling, fun, big grin on your face car; not if you're looking at the times only. The performance difference likely can be fixed with better tires, btw.
And sometimes, just being close to a much more powerful car can be called a "win", too, even if it's not actually.
On the Megane thread I see people are accepting that's a very fast car. Should they state this again, and again, and again, on each thread all around this forum, explaining over and over how sh*tty the 86 is in comparison, and how they'll buy the hatch instead? Then, calling names (zealot! fanboy!) if one would still like the 86 better? What would be enough, in your opinion, for one not to be considered a fanatic?
Preferences should not be mistaken for fanaticism.
