Where would you be without a Toyubaru? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Where would y'all be if you had never found a scion fr-s/ subaru brz/ toyota ft86?

I would personally be stuck in a 2009 mitsubishi lancer gts that I was not happy with and would have cost so much money to get the same enjoyment by just switching platforms...

I would've either stayed with my chevy sonic turbo 6mt which I was getting 42 or so mpg. Or I would've gotten a fiesta or focus ST.

I'd still be driving my 2008 Mazda 3. It was a cool car I guess, but it was falling apart and was not nearly fast enough for my taste. May have been saving for a 370Z or something similar.

strat61caster · 05-19-2014, 02:23 PM

Probably an RX-7 or 911 or Abarth.

I wouldn't have sold my mint condition, low mileage, tastefully modified NA Miata.

I had been itching to get a coupe though and put my WRX in reserve use, so I might have bought a new Boss 302 Mustang instead though I'm much happier with the payments on the BRZ.

Probably would have skipped buying the 450hp E39 if my DD was pushing over 400 - so the Boss might have been cheaper overall.

V8 miata

I would probably in a STI as that is the car I was at the dealership buying in till I test drove the BRZ and I fell in love with the way it felt handling wise over the STI, not to mention the mpg advantage and lower price and etc. Im going to get an STI one day but damn it is a choice I am glad I made every time I look at the car

NIN69 · 05-19-2014, 02:30 PM

Would still have my fully loaded 2004 Celica GTS with OEM aero kit and spoiler. We had a great run for 10 years but I fell in love when I test drove the 2014 Monogram FRS.

husker741 · 05-19-2014, 02:30 PM

A Lexus IS or maybe a Supra.

ihaskrayon · 05-19-2014, 02:33 PM

I think I would have gotten the STi, but may have opted for a WRX just because I don't really need the STi.

In all honesty, There aren't very many new cars that peak my interest these days. Almost everything is bland and boring...or automatic. I'm also not really a fan of used sports cars, people tend to drive sports cars like they are one.

noodleface · 05-19-2014, 02:37 PM

Most likely still in my 2010 WRX hatch.

mjh712 · 05-19-2014, 02:42 PM

Probably a 350Z, 370Z, Genesis Coupe, older WRX Sedan (still might happen, damn snow), A4, or Accord (what I had on lease before I bought my BRZ)

Chauntalei · 05-19-2014, 02:45 PM

C5 Z06. I'd be getting the same mpg, but with 2x the horsepower behind it.

BlueDubbinTDI · 05-19-2014, 02:46 PM

GTI or Cooper S.
