Besides everything already said, the BRZ/FRS/86 (often referred to as "The Twins") have surprisingly good prices on parts. For example you can get a clutch disk, pressure plate, throw out bearing, pilot bearing, and flywheel as a kit for $380 USD. You can hardly get a flywheel alone for that cheap on almost any other car.
BTW, I also hold onto my cars forever. I can't think of a single car I've ever owned where the maintenance out weighed the value of a car. A paid off car that doesn't break is really hard to beat. My dad owned a Boxster which was incredibly unreliable. He spent at least $20,000 USD just keeping it on the road between 2003 and today. He refused to get rid of it because it was still cheaper than a car payment. Just a few weeks ago he finally got sick of it stranding him and literally GAVE it to his mechanic. I was kind of pissed.
