Though I was to old for the FR-S. What's you age.... - Page 27 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I'm 19, but it's like a poor man's Porsche, so any age can drive a twin and enjoy it. It's just getting in and out of the car that would seem difficult for the older population, even i think it's a hassle.

i only find it a pain in the ass to get in and out of the car when i park into a spot and the another car is too close to me...not enough room to squeeze in or out because i can't open the door out far enough

That is a pita, but even when i have room it's tough. You have to fall into the seat, then climb out. Maybe it's time for me to retire, getting too old for this nonsense lol

It's kind of like an SUV of planes. Built tough, huge loading door on the side, big capacity, not the fastest but good all around.

A little noisy though. Glad I had my Shure IEM's.

Sonafabitch. I sure could have used one of those last year when I popped a lumbar disc. It took like 5 minutes to get out of the Celica GTS for the better part of 10 weeks.

Sweet, so the car is a pita to get in and out of. I was worried that I was past my prime.

Yal · 10-27-2016, 12:01 AM

at 53 getting in and out can be a blast. I back into my spot at work right next to an island, so I have to get out with my feet on the island, so they're 6 inches higher than the ground. I'm sure I look ridiculous, but I love the car.

I'm a very young 50 early next month & love my GT86

Well I'm 68 yo and I shall be getting a 2106 FR-S series 2.0 tomorrow.I can fold my 6'3" body with 34"inseam in to the FR-S OK,however it appears to me a few exercises may be in order to get out gracefully . Worst case I'll get a carcane!

My 1st car was a 1966 1300cc VW beetle with Koni shocks/oversized front sway bar/camber compensator/porsche 912 clutch/EMPI headers/rejetted carb.It was a blast to autocross and at the drag strip ( 20.22seconds at a blistering 67mph)
2nd car was a 1969 Nova 2 door with all the bells and whistles---nice car but not for auto sports.

Since then it's been all family cars. Now in my dotage(retirement) I've decided to begin my 2nd childhood. I presently drive a 2007 Yaris 3 door,so a bumpy ride is natural to me.
