Did you get your car from Hillcrest, auto sold on Friday and past it today with the 86 logo on the plates..

30 year old, single, can't find a worthy girl I break up all the time with them lol.

Bought the car because I've always been into sports car and couldn't see myself in something else...and I was tired of wrenching on old cars.

Nope - picked it up in Pietermaritzburg on 8 Dec - I live in North-West so had a nice 6 hour drive bringing it home

25, currently going through a divorce. Figured wife left might as well buy a nice toy. I'm in the coast guard.

23, dating, IT consultant, what's with all the computer people in SA? Maybe I should have stayed and found a job in Durban?

34. Married. 2 x Daughters. One is 3 and the second one only 2 weeks old. Sales manager for tool distribution company. Have always only owned boring conservative VW's. Sold my 6 month old Jetta and bought the 86. One of the more out of character things Ive done... Wife drives a new Jetta so have second "more sensible" car for longer trips... 86 is perfect family car IMO as it comes standard with 2 baby seats...

44, accountant, married with two young kids.

Got this after trading in my Nissan S15 that I had for 12 years from brand new. Have been looking for the past five years for a car that I'd enjoy driving as much as my S15 and finally the 86 came along. Ordered one site unseen and not having driven it.

Like all the IT people on here I'm online for my job so lots of research and drooling before they were released here in NZ.
