Had to crank my browser's zoom to 200%, but what a massive review. Thanks for posting that. For those that can't read it, they basically pit the 86 one-on-one against the best car in each of the following categories to see how the 86 matches up. Their conclusions:
Driver's Car
- The 86 is a better driver's car than the Miata.
Performance Numbers
- The 86 clocks 1:15.9 around their track compared to the WRX at 1:14.1, but it can run repeated laps without issue unlike the WRX. For acceleration, the 86 ran the 400m in 15.2 s, compared with the WRX at 13.8 s.
Thrill Factor
- The 86 is not as hyper-responsive as the Renaultsport Clio RS on the track, but is drastically better around town.
Hoonability
- The 86 is as "hoonable" as the Holden SV6, aside from burnouts.
All-Around Excellence
- The 86 matches the Scirocco R for all-around excellence when you factor in the $12k difference in cost.
Conclusion: They call the 86 a "game changer" with a staggering value quotient.
