I change cars on average every 2 years and I have always wanted an 86 as it is a rarity in today’s market.


I got what I needed out of my current A-45, I did track days, tour of Tasmania, lots of b-roads on the weekends and it was also comfortable daily. I can't fault the A45 as it does everything effortlessly and covers ground so so quickly. My biggest complaint would be the gearbox is sluggish in traffic but I think overall Merc/AMG knocked it out of the park with this car and I would highly recommend it to anyone. However for me it's time for a new experience.


It came down to a was a choice between the M2 Competition or the 86, either car would be a stop gap until the new A45s arrives as turbo/AWD is my preferred choice for a daily drive. To me buying the 86 meant I can get into the new AMG as soon as it is available and I get to keep a RWD-manual weekend/track toy.


The grass is always greener I suppose!
