After test drive in Long Beach, CA for 1st 86 Promo kinda forgot exactly how it felt.
Def was surprised how low you sit, steering very quick/precise, firm ride, but not overly if you are used to sporty cars. I am coming from a run of Subaru WRX/STi's and 135i/ 335Xi BMW's. Floors me how low the roof line is standing next to it! Car feels great for N/A 2.0L . This is my 1st N/A car in many years, I will appreciate the good Mpg from what I am used to. Insurance is just over $200 less than my 11' STi too !!!! Brakes feel great, shifts very smooth , I am really enjoying it so far!!
I LOVE THE SEATS!! They are soo superior than any of the STi seats, actually hold you. I was always soo jealous of my friends Evo seats, those Recaro's I always wanted in my Subaru's and these seats aren't quite like those, but pretty close!
I am near 180mi on it, enjoying ea mile and just feels GOOD! Stereo sounds pretty good for stock, I do miss not hearing any exhaust note, just intake growl. I have shift light set for 4k and been doing it as suggested to keep it under, seems like it just begins to start pulling and at 4k, what a tease! I plan to keep up driving most I can and Autocross next weekend!! Def Very Excited to see how it does, to learn its limits through the course!
I will GoPro some runs to share!
This is a fun car for sure, Turbo cars are addictive and I do miss rush of TQ, but this is just different enjoyment! I took a fun drive through some nice windy corners and def doesn't sway anything near my Subaru's did, feels very solid / planted!
