to each his own but even down to the chassis the ae86 is a pile of junk. i dont know why you hate fwd so much. i know i must sound like a broken record but if you look at things like the cobalt ss, it does more with fwd and less power than alot of other cars that people drool over because the are "proper" or whatever. there is never going to be a simple rwd vs fwd debate. they come with a host of other effects on the way a car is built like weight, cost, power to the wheels etc. all that aside, all im saying on this thread is that the itr is a better car than the corolla. its faster up or downhill and it feels better doing it
