I think the same but to be honest, I find those gadgets not much of a necessity and I would not like to put more than a 100K on this car.. Yeah the gauges are nice, I would like them to exist..
I personally plan to take mine for autocross occasionally so I will settle for 16"s, the tires will be dirt cheap and you know you want cheap tires if you play often with such a car..

The only thing that puts me off about Toyota is the fact their after sales are shit and they are over charging for oil changes and routine servicing without providing any explanation.. We have like a dozen of 86 owners already complaining about it, and are working on raising a petition about fixing this problem..

Also, I heard that Subaru actually are a bit more decent when it comes to after sales; from a previous Subaru owner who currently owns an 86.

My guess the price is somewhere between 120-130?
To add to ROJ repose, they have Vehicle Stability Control System, limited Slip Differential and 17 inch Aluminum Alloy Wheels as standard in all their vehicles.

You can contact Mr. Shameem Aboobacker, Sales Executive on 056-6443098

They are bringing new stock on first week of April but limited number, next stock might arrive on June/July.

The full option auto is AED 117k, full option manual is AED 112k

True.. I've checked the costs of the maintenance on Subaru BRZ and it is reasonable

my first service is due in next few weeks.
LOL yeah I know still 750km now. I don't drive much, plus my office is just few blocks from my flat.

Just a bit wondering which workshop is better, SZR or DFC?

Jebel Hafeet

This morning woke up at 3 AM. Wife is half asleep.
Asked her if she would come with me for a ride.

4 AM we were ready. Filled the car with some Super, wife continued her sleep in the car and 2 hours later we arrived:

975 KM

This car is really good at twisties.

Finally passed the break in period, redlined her few times while going back to Dubai.

Dropped the car at AFM SZM to get the first service, steering wheel alignment (a bit off-center), and I also asked them to change the gearbox and differential oil.

I dont know why but, whenever I see another 86 on the road I get excited! Saw a black one with 16" wheels on SZR near Media Citi today and honked the horn to salute
