Do the twins come across as cheap to the uninformed or are they surprised it is? - Page 9 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Don't forget cruise control. This is my first car with cruise. I have officially arrived.

Recently since I installed the LegSport spoiler, a lot younger people and older people thought it was the new Supra LoL. But I do get asked how much it was and they seemed suprised that I paid under $30k new.

i had a guy come to me as i was getting in the car asking about it, all the usual stuff, is it 4wd, turbo, etc, but seemed really interested in the car.

turned out he just wanted to ask for money for a sketchy sounding battery jump situation

sooo i guess it looks like an expensive car?

I feel like you're downplaying the glorious high-tech Digital LED Chronological Decay Reference Array.

in all seriousness the digital clock doesn't look all that different from every other digital clock that uses that particular style of readout (calculators, watches, my alarm clock at home)

Most of the "not 1950's digital clock" clocks in other vehicles are part of the infotainment system which has a higher resolution that allows for a different font.

Or an analog clock.

Which makes the 1980s dollar store reject clock they used look cheap.

I love the convenient button that puts the minutes back to "00" that every passenger seems to want to push when they get in the car.

Like I said, anyone obsessing over the clock has purchased the wrong car.
I never even noticed if there is a clock or not.
The only thing I look at in the interior is the tach.

I'm actually a little bummed it's not still the basic green LCD clock that Toyota has been putting in cars (often as an additional, paid option) since the 80's!

The clock sucks, face it. It’s out of a Corolla. And it looks HORRIBLE.

HachiRokuX · 08-21-2018, 08:22 PM

I’m also one of those weirdos who couldn’t give a care about the interior. I love my 86’s interior. Simple, and clean, easy to see digital speedo and I can get any aftermarket stereo for navigation etc. which is all I’ve ever needed. I’ve sat in and driven higher end cars (Like Lexus RC) and all I see is more stuff to go wrong. Touch screens, touch pads, moving dials, power seats etc.

Okay, power seats might be a nice upgrade...
