If I could go back and buy a car again, I would buy a ...???

No regrets here. If the 86 never came out, I wouldn't have gotten a new car. My Acura runs perfectly fine and there is nothing else in the new car market south of $30k that I liked.

I would rather know the full history of the car, as if I'm going high speed, I do not want a vehicle that is going to have possibly been involved in an accident with the previous owner, to where it could cause some issues with chasis reinforcement. I had this happen on a dsm I had purchased beforehand, that went unnoticed until we really started to get above 400whp, and the chasis started to twist.

Along with that, if you have a car that had prior damage that wasn't reported, and you go to install some aftermarket parts with tight clearances, it makes it much mroe difficult.

I live in U.S. I think it's Corolla GT-S. If I live in Japan, I'd get Levin instead of Trueno. I like that headlight better.

Just giving you a hard time. Ae86 was only in America from 84-87, GTS was 85-87 here

Ah, I see. Thanks for the info.

I'd buy an Ultramarine FR-S.

Oh, wait.

I would have said no regrets until Vracer111 posted this..... I would have taken this over the 86 without a doubt and it takes a lot to say that..

I waited 3 yrs for the 86 to happen and it finally did.... Theres not much i would replace it with... Certainly nothing near to the price of the 86....

But this...... This i would have!!!!!!

Cheers @Vracer111 for posting.... Super cool looking car....



EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thankfully i can find comfort in the fact that this will never reach Australian shores so still no regret......

Yeah, they are also impossible to find at the moment.
At the time I bought mine, I preferred the front end on the FR-S. I must say the BRZ front end has grown on me quite a bit.
