Also, the S has heated cloth seats that warm up quickly when it's cold and stay relatively cool in the summer compared to faux leather. I agree that everything about driving the VW is softer than the 86. But sometimes after you've finished emptying the third load of yard waste out of it at the landscape recycling center and you just want to get back home, it''s nice to have a car that fades into the background and does its job without complaint.
I love it! Any mods? I'd like to run a JB4 by the end of this year. And I want that OBDeleven. Apparently a lot of "options" are things that just need to be coded or unlocked. Hell a used low mileage GTI turbo (IS20) can be had for $250-$300, and a used JB4 can be had for about the same. It's cheap to make good power in this plaform.
