Isn't that the same car but with a bad body kit in the bottom photo?

In regards to the power, as I mentioned I think the auto’s weight and taller gearing were masking it somewhat. The gap between a ‘22 auto and a tuned FT86 is noticeable, but didn’t change the experience in a meaningful way. I have a ZX10R with as much horsepower as an 86, and a GTI running boost, so whilst the extra oomph is appreciated, other factors can be more important to me when it comes to the platform (particularly steering feel). You put it well - the sense of urgency when ringing it out feels pretty similar in a tuned car, but you're carrying more speed in the '22. Last edited by Samba86; 02-18-2022 at 04:15 PM. |

I also hadn't noticed just how much smaller the rear quarter window is. The more pronounced Hoffmeister kink has taken away a pretty valuable chunk of visibility that I use for backing out of parking spaces or for blindspot check on the road. |

some contrast is nice though. like in first gen i preferred the trd kits for both zenki and kouki over plain stock since adding a bit of satin black gave the car a bit more contrast rather than a plain monocolor body

I actually feel like the lights are the worst part of the new models. They make the car blend in too much with other cars while the 1st gen had a more unique look. If anything,I think that the more aggressive look of the first gen made them look like they were faster than they actually are,which occasionally draws the wrong attention. |

If Toyota hadn't mention chassis stiffness would anyone have really noticed or left it up to damper refinement like MY13 vs MY17.

Especially Subaru seems to always be on about chassis rigidity improvement. Working backward from press releases, the first gen Impreza chassis stiffness would require it be made of thatched straw and pine tar.

It is immediately apparent when you drive the 2022. I have only experienced this level of body stiffness (feel wise) in a Porsche. |
