Camry driver presses gas pedal, car hooks up and it's all over. Gt86 owner drops clutch, spins tires or bogs and then posts video on YouTube showing that the Camry only beat him by length of school bus. Gt86 owner then says it was too hot, no traction etc. Camry owner didn't even know he was racing.

6 months later gt86 owner spends 2500 on ace header, tune and flex fuel kit. Car is now as fast as a Camry. Now, of course the 86 owner claims he bought the car strictly for its handling lol.

I think if you get the FIST, you will always regret not getting the 86. If you get the 86, you will not regret skipping the FIST. Also, for big guys, 86 is more comfy.

Everywhere I read says the FiST is one of the best handling cars out there.
But it doesn't look like a BRZ. and the BRZ actually has enough storage room, it is amazing how much you can fit in these things. Also, for normal sized humans, you can fit 3 people in the car, my mother and sister fit one behind the other on the passenger side very comfortably. I'm 6'2" and fit fine, my hair is in the headliner if I sit the seat up too straight though. Quote:

You can either tolerate FWD or not. Personally, I don't give a shit what a magazine says; FWD always feels like ass. Anyone trying to compare the two on handling merits is fooling themselves.

You'll beat the shit out of your drivetrain to leave with an auto.
