Hi Guys

Always been a fan of the 86 when it was launched and when I took for a test drive. Put a smile on face back then.

I wanted to know if there are any issues or services to lookout for in the 2012/2013 models below 80 000km?

Currently drive a vw golf 6 tsi with a baby seat and wife has an suv for space.
It almost doesn’t make sense to trade a golf 6 tsi for 86. But the passion for having a fun tends to outway it. My concern is will I get bored with the 86?

I really don’t care about going the fastest, because every GTI will be faster but I do enjoy a good handling car and looking at the shape of the 86 and tech stuff behind the 86 is fascinating against the boring golf. The golf 6 i made it less boring with h&r springs, koni shocks and rims but I always see an 86 and think of driving nirvana.
