I probably would listen the whistle of recirculation valve (which is an annoying sound) if I cruise 70 mph above 3000 rpm (5th gear, maybe 4) since supercharger is overspinning and telling me to upshift. It is a totally different driving experience with AT gear ratios. Good to keep in mind since I really want to get a second 86 AT before it disappears from the show rooms. This car is a deal of century for the price - at least to me.

Finished reading all these 39 pages of this thread. A question just came in my mind, at this present time, how is the chances to not see a new 2nd gen 86/BRZ?

i average 20-22mpg... but it's a significant gain over my last car with a 3.0 v6, which averaged around 7-10mpg

Need to have 3 sides.
Could be released as per their original plan. Whatever that actually was. Could be delayed for an indefinite period. Could be canned completely.

remember, a minor change in social habits for 2 months is somehow justified as being called 'a new normal'. so by that justification, 3 months is a time span longer than an eternity...

Not Tcoat, but I just did the same thing, I'm really happy with the trade. Originally I wasn't planning to sell my 1st one but I realized I wasn't going to want to drive it after testing the TS. Car is tighter, even more responsive, throttle improvement from the gears and reworked engine in 2017 is noticeable and ultimately it just seems better made.

I am NOT wearing god damned gloves to drive my commuter car. I have no need to play race car driver. I will just make sure I get loads of coffee on it to make it sticky.
