Stories like this almost make we want to trade in my 2013 brz and get the latest and greatest. Almost.
But I do like the basic steering wheel and rawness if it. I wonder if all electric is in the 86 future? Saw Tesla roadster and it has 600+ mile range and 0-60 1.9 seconds. $200k Time to set up a GoFundMe acct! |

I wish I still had my original but that set aside. I am glad I found this one when I did. Feels more special than getting a 2020

So true, anything you don't like about this car can be fixed with a decent budget and right knowledge. A lot of cars that can't be said for.

I’m really torn between going for a good deal on a current TRD (or Handling Package)86, or waiting to see what the 2nd gen will be. The main thing I want to know is what motor will be in the 2nd gen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I’m totally ok with waiting another year or so, and we might get some official news from Toyota before then. I understand what you are saying though, life is short, and the current 86 is really good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I don’t miss my 2013 any more. This thing feels so much different from the 2013 FR-S |

That’s what I hope I would feel like also. And, if the 2nd gen turns out to be incredible, they will be available to buy later. I think a 2019/2020 86 or BRZ would feel different enough from my 2016 to justify the change. Especially with the Handling Package! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I do like some elements of the FR-S styling better, specifically the front end and the fender emblems. Other than that the new 86 is better in every way, and a small bump in power.

Absolutely. I appreciate that cars are getting "better" all the time but I've learned to embrace the 1st-gen. I just don't have the money to go pursuing every new generation. And there really is a lot to be done to the bare-bones platform to make it more comfortable, faster, and better-looking. 1st-gen cloth seats and wheels were my biggest gripes. My next phase will be a modest power bump, which will certainly be greater than that 5hp mid-cycle refresh. One "advantage" to waiting so long is that the aftermarket feels more mature now-with the best products having survived the test of time and taken market share away from all those half-baked "me too" companies.
