Nar not really. Kinda hard for me to believe I plonked down 40k for a new car. I try to block it out from the back of my mind by buying more stuff for it... that usually helps.

on the other hand, I reckon that the 86 has a very nice nimble look that in same ways resembles a mini supercar. In fact, many people have commented others asking "is that the new maserati" or similar questions. Which is great! Now of course you might not like that "look" and thats of course fine, but imho, i think its hard to say that this car looks "bad" or someone could genuinely dislike the look of the car as a whole. |

None at all. Despite having higher HP cars in the past, this is the best car I have ever driven/owned.

So basically it will be easier to believe you plonked 49k for a car! It makes sense to me (sort of..actually no) Are you single or something? If you are, that explains it. If you are not...soon you will be! Just kidding! |

Not quite sure how a smaller car is "bigger and bloated" but each to their own. I still miss my S15 as well, but I'd never go back. This car has 12 year newer technology than my S15 had. |

My only regret so far is that I didn't order sooner.

The only issue that I have is how easily it is to scratch , which is a real bugger on a new car.

Funnily enough I had an Elise prior to the 86.
The. 86 is 95% of the fun (and on public roads more than that), 150% of the practicality, 40% of the cost, and 1000% of the build quality. Plus it has ABS, bags, and is waterproof, and you can see out of it. Sell the 86 to someone who'll appreciate it. |
