I was never sold on the idea of owning a sports car, until I got invited to a track day and test drove the Renaultsport Megane III Cup 265, so I started researching sports cars. The Renault was $40k, the VW GTI was $42k, the WRX is $40, and the Civic Si is close to $39k.
When I researched the GT86, the starter version is $31k, and the more complete version (larger rims/wheels, ventilated rear discs, and other comforts) is close to $39k.
Eventhough $31k is cheap in comparison to the other cars I mentioned above, It's still frakking expensive, and even more considering what the normal wages are around here.
Whether it's worth the price is really up to you.
