Some find it fun to keep the engine in the 4500-7400 RPM sweet spot. Others think it's annoying to have to downshift multiple gears. For anyone in the latter camp, there are plenty of other 2+2 coupes with more midrange punch. Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, Accord V6, Genesis Coupe, etc. No reason to limit yourself to the 86 when there is no shortage of alternatives that would better suit you.
To each his own.

I was just about to type the same thing. People that don't want to keep the car above 4500 RPM should either buy another car or invest in F.I.
This car isn't about instant gratification of a mid-range RPM shove in the back, rather the satisfaction that comes with learning to drive as a skill with a tool that is suited to the task. The 86 communicates, teaches and rewards. Both are viable ways to have fun. Stock, an 86 does it one way.
