I've never driven a Prelude, so I'm not sure how fun they are, but what about this for your friend?

Want to take more than 1 passenger with you or objects larger than 3'x3'x3' somewhere, can't afford second car.

I don't think anybody mentioned the 350Z, Z3M would be another good suggestion if he's got some personal issues preventing him from getting a Miata. IS300 has excellent suspension and more torque than an 86 but with an extra ~500 lbs to lug around won't be that exciting if the Golf R is boring him imho. It gives the E36 M3 and E46 non-M a run for their money though. @FirstWinter pretty much hit all the reasonable suggestions though, good job on that post. I like the idea of a Boxster as a temporary replacement if my 86 got totaled just to try something moderately different. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...ostcount=12640 "Fun to Drive" is the kicker, what the hell does that mean and what does the Golf lack that he's looking for? We're all assuming something rawer, lighter, more communicative, but that's because we bought 86's, maybe he should just trade the Golf in for a Camaro SS/Mustang GT? Maybe a stripped out modded Integra GSR or CRX or EG Civic is the ticket, who the fuck knows. If the budget goes up to $20k the Corvette enters the equation. Trade the R for a GTI DD and pick up a Corvette as a second car? |

I'd say don't expend any more effort on this, guys. I'll let you know what he ultimately ends up with.

Of course, but those weren't listed as requirements. Miata easily deserves to be listed alongside the S2K and Z3.

I get that. Again, in the context of the RfCandidates, Miata stands tall.

Whatever he chooses, it'll be wrong.

Car groups are so funny. Anytime someone asks the MR2 Spyder facebook about getting a FRS/BRZ/86 everyone loses their shit.
The best ones are when they complain that it's slow. I'm like, you realize the MR2 is just as slow but feel fast cuz it wants to kill you/sounds like it falling apart at 60+mph right? lol |

Oh, just get a wagon already. Might as well scratch that itch.
