Relatively affordable new coupes like some Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers, Civic Si, Mini, Z, Veloster (sort of) and many more in the used <$30K range.

Motor Trend First Drive. The author turned a car review into a tire review then never mentions the suspension and brake upgrades.
His preference is "loosey-goosey" oversteer, mine is better grip. I agree with him that the GT is the better value. It's better looking IMO, lighter and probably quicker than a TRD SE that has to spin up those 18's. If I get another one, it'll be the GT then upgrade the tires, possibly sway bar(s), and maybe the head unit. https://www.motortrend.com/cars/toyo...-drive-review/ |

Man, what is with the stance on this thing? It looks like a cross-over it's sitting so high. I know they photoshop the cars into scenes like Gran Turismo, but did they use a picture of it while it was on a lift?
Also, that new rear end is hideous - it looks like a (overdone) Corolla from the back. |

Also 18"s on this car will always look like 4WD without a proper drop, and the severity of the 4WD stance depends on the wheel style as well. |

I do too. You can see where I wrapped more stuff in Alcantara = Center console, AC controls, Window controls. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=128825 But I would rather have 25 more HP even if it meant a plastic dash cover piece |
