1. There is very little sound deadening. If you can't stand hearing what the road sounds like at every moment, this car will drive you nuts.
2. I'd say the car is fairly stable on the highway. It does get light and darty when pushing higher speeds though. But for the most part, the car just goes where you want.
3. IMO, the car does not like being babied. People will say there's no power, and you definitely get more of your money's worth if you play around in the higher revs. Not saying you can't drive it softly, but the car truly comes alive when you push to the limits.
The 86 provides a visceral experience. You will hear all the strange noises and you can feel it all through your feet, butt, and fingertips.
Best advice: go drive one.

Very well said! A few weeks ago, I went moshing (dog sledding) on a glacier. The dogs were not happy at a stand still, or when you try to slow them down, but as soon as you let them go, it's like they come alive. That's the 86. I"m on the freeway, put the pedal to the metal, the auto downshifts fast and blam the car jerks forward I'm at 6000 rpm and climbing and the car just loves it.
