What do you guys think??
So gentleman a question. I own a 09 Honda civic lx-s sedan 5 speed manual. I was considering keeping it when the FT-86 gets here, but now I am pondering trading the civic in for a prius and still purchasing the FT-86. What do you guys think? Prius or keep the CiviC?

if you can swing all that, then i would. nothing against civic but toyota should have the plugin prius by the time this FT comes out; which would get near 70mpg i bet and might be good if you're driving spiritedly and burning thru gas in your FT haha.

Why not go diesel? Specifically VW diesel. Just throwing it out there.

haha, i think it's funny how different perspectives can be.
you're going to be using the FT as the fun car, and have a different fuel saving car, and i'm looking at using the FT as my fuel saving car. ![]() speaking of, do we have any idea what kind of mileage this thing is going to get? if it's near 200hp, i'm gonna guess mid 20s city, 30+ highway? i'm assuming premium. -Mike

my MR2 actually gets roughly 30mpg highway, as long as i stay out of boost. and my truck doesn't do too badly with it, either, i'm usually around 18mpg mixed, and 20mpg highway-only. and i won't get rid of either. the practicality and functionality of my truck is amazing.
and you can bet i won't be taking the 2 or the 86 certain places my truck goes! ![]() ![]() ![]() -Mike

I say keep the civic. Why bother adding another new car payment (considering you're already planning on getting the 86).
