The biggest thing going for the 86 in my eyes is the "vestigal rear seats". I tried this at the dealer, a big-ish dude can actually get into the back, and the front seat will not be rendered useless. This doesn't work on a Porsche 911. The 86's practicality to looks ratio is quite good and it's performance is not bad.

Yeah, I am 5'11" and my friend is about 5'10" and the only way he could fit behind me was if the steering wheel was in my stomach and my face was pushed almost into the windshield.
If your expectation is to fit normal seized people in the front and back this is the wrong car for you.
