What do you drive now?
With the production version of the FT-86 likely to be displayed at this December's Tokyo Auto Show, I think this would be an interesting time to ask everyone on the forum what they are currently driving and how it would factor into an FT-86 purchase.
I created a poll to add another facet to the topic. I'll begin! Currently I have a '11 VW Golf TDI 6mt 4dr that is used as my daily driver/cavernous everything hauler. It's the largest car I've owned in a long time, after a string of MINI's and an NA Miata. The TDI gets amazing fuel economy but is a bit insulated and oversized for my tastes. The FT-86 would replace this as a daily driver. The drop in fuel economy would be worth it as long as the FT is that much more fun to drive. I also have an '07 Lotus Exige S that is my fair-weather/track-day/fun car. Two cars is my preferred limit; one reasonably fun daily driver and one balls-out track car. Let's hear it from you guys. Post pics of your car[s] too! Cheers, Ryan

Currently drive a relatively beat up 95 Civic hatchback. Over the winter Its experienced a plethora of issues, and currently the muffler happily resides in the hatch lol.
Either way, I'd like to keep the Civic as a toy, beat it up, fix it, race it at the track a few times or something, but in reality I'll probably sell it and use the money for the FT-86 in some fashion. Likely fuel. Love your Exige... I'm pretty jealous lol. Love those cars. And my Girlfriend likes your Golf, just make it a GTi with flappy paddles and she would be in love with it. I personally don't care for em. But your Exige...... *drool*

I'm currently driving a 05 Tacoma and when the weather is nice, I'll take out my Duc. Nothing beats owning a truck!

i have a 2006 Tacoma double cab and a 1991 MR2 turbo. have to see how things go, but there's a chance i'll be getting an FA5 Si and S13 240sx in addition to the first two. then it comes down to if i like the FT86 better than either of the new additions.

Hey Ryephile, great minds think alike
![]() Besides my 2007 Exige S which I will be keeping a long time. I also have a 2008 S2000 CR and a 330ci which is my daily driver. I'm actually thinking of getting the FT-86 to replace both these cars. With 4 seats, the FT-86 could be used as a DD and I can also use it for track days and autocross.

Amazing! Of the very few S's in the 'states, it's remarkable that we have the exact same configuration [Aspen, touring, TC, starshield]. That would be fascinating if we ended up with the same two cars in our garages. :happy0180:
So far it seems there are lots of Japanese car lovers here, and a handful of truckers. -->RRnold: Fun off-roading pics!

Good to recognize your S/N from LT.
![]() It sounds like our cars were only siblings in the factory. I have a Kold-Fire 270 flash, RLS IC, Cup airbox, and Braille 15# battery. I suppose it is a bit freaky that we both have light batteries and an ECU flash! ![]() I'm not sure what color FT-86 I'd go for at the time. I suppose it depends what colors they offer and what I'm feeling like. The FT-86 Sports G concept on GT5 is a matte white [I think] with a carbon hood. I have to admit it does look pretty good, though the body styling is very different from the second concept. Cheers, Ryan

I'm stuck driving a family sedan. 18 years old, driving a deep blue base trim 2003 chevy impala... :/ Wish i could have something with a racing soul since i grew up around racing and the only thing stopping me from having a racecar is funds (aint that everyones story). Honestly, i just want some torque and rwd, anything else is a welcomed bonus coming from a 4000lb underpowered boat.
