That is definitely a wise decision in which I 100% support. Do it now while you're young. I often thought about a career change, taking the LSAT and persuing IP Law since I already have an EE degree. I know its a huge step both financially and mentally and sort of weighing the odds out since I'm already in a good situation.

as terrible as this is going to sound, I'll prolly sit quivering in a corner till Honda decides to grow it's balls back and make s2k successor or a better CRZ but that torsion beam set up and no back seat really kills it for me. Make my old EP3 looks like a treasure....or a Integra replacement. I know farfetch dreams but I still dreaming the impossible dream.

Deal breaker for me is if it's heavy (over 2900 lbs).

Still not sure if it's worth buying though, gotta see how it drives, the engine output, etc.

ft86 can't be a fail

if the price is 50.000 € ... ok, not for me I love MX5... maybe a used miata... or BMW1, just for rear wheel driving

If Both Toyota (Scion) and Subaru models are fail, then I think I'll go for an STI. Since the new Impreza is coming out soon, the timing should be right to purchase when they try to clear out the current models. But I still hope this car isn't fail.

i could go for 2+2 or just 2 sets
If mazda some how magically put out the next rotary vehicle around the same time as the ft-86 then it would be a hard choice for me depending on price and mpg from the mazda. I drive an rx8 now and an FD rx7 is my dream car but owning one is not ideal. The whole reason why im ready to sell my rx8 is because of the unpredictable but still bad no matter what mpg.


id also like my next car to have a turbo, and no be a scion.
