I do like the Twins driving dynamics better than the WRX though....which is saying something as I am a mad fan of the WRX. |

Still mostly happy with the car.
But the community, at least locally, is laughable. Can't say anything negative or else you're a hater. Since when did not liking someone's car become being a hater? Or is it the "everyone's a winner" generation thing? |

I just too my 86 for long drive from LA to Fresno, Fresno to SF and vice versa, despite being a stiff ride and suspension I actually didn't feel exhausted at all the seats are quite comfortable almost to what my MK3 Supra used to be now those were plushy comfort seats, the AT actually did really well was able to squeeze 35 MPG in the highway. As for power it didn't struggle through the Grapevine stretch of the I5 it the Fa20 N/A was a champion. I'm actually thinking to where to take her next.

Well, I traded my FRS in for another one ('17 BRZ), so I guess I like them

Yep, I am liking the new car. Definitely a decent upgrade, at least coming from an FRS.

I love these cars. Hope one day I can afford another one just to keep completely stock. I would love to get a feel for what a stock one feels like, it's been too long.

I am realistic in the expectations of this car, and am not making unreasonable demands about it. After I installed the Greddy Supreme SP exhaust, I am 100% satisfied with the car in its role as my daily.

The twins handle well and because of their low weight you can carry momentum through a corner with confidence. This is great if you live in a place with many curves, but if you live in a flat area where the only curves you see are pulling a hard right into a gas station you won't get much enjoyment out of the car. You can feel the weight difference between the twins and WRX during braking and turning, but that's balanced out once you step toe on he gas pedal and it actually does something. If you're buying new, the WRX is the way to go. Used the FRS will save you about $10k, so the scale is tipped towards that.

After 110k miles, I still love this car.
The good: 1. The right power to gas mileage formula. BTW, how many people know that the Firebird in Smoky and the Bandit only had 185 HP? 2. Can beat pretty much anything on the road in cornering, especially if you get performance tires. 3. Solid 4. Good road feel. Total confidence on any road. 5. I can get my bass and a bass amp into it. 6. I feel like I'm in a 60's ferarri in this thing. 7. VERY comfortable. I'm 6'1" and even at 62 years old ingress and egress is a snap. 8. Reliable. Nothing has broken and 110k miles and I'm looking to do my first spark plug replacement. 9. Other than performance tires, I have absolutely no need to modify this car. It does everything I want, and I drive over 100 miles of two lane serious twisties every weekday on my commute. The bad: 1. I had to replace a tail light because I tried to clean out the water with rubbing alcohol. It fogged the plastic. 2. It's picked up a minor whine in the tranny or differential (think it's the latter) at 58-66 mph. But it's not gotten worse. I expect to own this car until I die. It is worth fixing every time it breaks, even if it means things like replacing the engine. It is just too much of a "timeless" design for me. In 30 years I'll be like that guy still driving his Austin Healy 3000. |
