no, the plug in port is obviously within the gas fill spot!

just don't ask about the other side!

They also need some basic mods, stock the brz is way better. Mini just responds real well to some basic upgrades.

I do like the auto rev matching during downshifts. And that stupid checkered flag hard top.

Really? I hate the auto rev match, probably my least favorite feature. Only way to turn it off is to disable the traction control. Every time I start the car it's sports mode, exhaust open and traction off.

Needs a GT-R badge up front to complete the look.

I have seen more GT-R badges on cars that aren't Skylines/GT-Rs than ones that are that I want to shoot myself in the head. I've seen multiple Mustangs, BMWs, and a Smart car or Leaf (I can't remember) just last week. FML.

Bought a lightly used VW GTI Sport back in December to be my new DD. Handles amazingly well for a FWD (thanks to active front differential) and with a stage one tune is sitting around 300hp/330 lb-ft. Gets 35+ mpg hwy still.

I miss the screaming VTEC of my old GSR, but its hard to argue this car isn't a better DD.

FT86 makes a *GREAT* daily driver.

I also don't understand the whole "I need a DD for my 86" argument. I've definitely had no issues DD mine for almost 8 years now.

Yep. I liked it so much as a DD that I bought the new one. I do expect compliments though so I guess the thread title still applies.

I don't understand why would someone would buy a Mini Cooper S, when he has a Twin. If I had the money and permission to buy one, I would never... OK.. I'd buy it as well.. Or a GTI. even make it stage 2.. But not because they make a better daily drive. They are just fun in a different way.

I live in RI and commute into Mass, daily drive the BRZ, and daily-drove the S2000 before that, all winter, every winter.
