proper date car - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Victorscp · 11-14-2018, 01:44 PM

HELLO GENTS!!!
In my efforts to find a 86/brz i came across 2 potential suspects. the first is the 86 trd edition and the other is a 2018 brz with perf pack. which do you think would be a better car to go on a date with. mind you im married, so im not trying to impress randoms lol

Why don't you take your wife along and help you decide?

Having said that, here are my observations:

1. Majority of women see cars as one amorphous mass.

2. Colour is the most important thing. If it's red, it's automatically nice and most likely a Ferrari. Women for some reason love red cars

3. Interior is important - specifically butt warmer and premium surfaces

4. Try to avoid offensive looking body kits like the TRD. Women usually consider these fussy and childish. Not sure how the boy racer face of the BRZ is gonna go down either. I would say a stock red 86 should do the trick lol

My wife hates that my 2013 FR-S does not have dual climate.

So, I would suggest getting the car that does.

our suv has dual climate but we rarely use it... its nice to have but in a small car does it make a difference?

Two things going for the BRZ over the TRD.

-Heated seats.
-No front aero kit to scrape while leaving parking lots.

My wife always cringes when I scrape the chin spoiler on my tS.

My SUV and truck both have it too.

Yes, IMO, it makes more of a difference in a small car.

The BRZ. Those extra features are worth it.

My wife hates the 86 because the PP is too "bumpy and rough" and because she's shorter, the seat belt chokes her.

Keep a warm fuzzy blanket in the trunk for those cold evenings and nights... nothing else will matter.

Since the 86 has no adjustable seat belt height adjustment, the sash belt can chafe your neck especially for shorter occupants. The leather straps on the corners of the seat back are to be used exactly for the purpose of lowering the belt so the belts don't chafe. Not the best solution in the world, but that's what they are for in case you didn't know.
