250k car I can afford....but i take that 250K into Citreon C5 and Picasso C4 MPV only. Instead buying one Renault RS

y u no drift...

kaya raya seh.. i can't afford

wat uols do one la can be so kaya raya one ah.

i very fedup with engnr salary ady....

Most of the replies were about able to get a 'better' looking or more powerful car(s) with that price lol..

If u love to drive, any sweet handling car will always be beautiful just like what TS has concluded. The steering feel is absolutely god-like.

I believe Toyota/Subaru created this car with the term 'best handling' in their mind. B4 this was MX-5, i've never driven b4 to provide a comment but it's a legendary car with absolute fun as agreed by world wide auto-journalists.

Yes, a manual is tiring but as TS what has written, will buy it because of the handling + great chassis, not because 'I-want-to-showoff-my-new-car' reason.

A great/fun drive is just like a wonderful sex. It makes u feel soooooo goooooood

I bought my car from Mr.Au. He is nice SA indeed.

how do i put this... hmm.

okay, i'm no skilled driver. but i do like to punch on the throttle once in a while. when i go fast around a corner, i wanna come out looking like a hero at the end of the corner. this car can give you that.

when you drive the car, the sitting position is really low slung, but gives you an absolutely clear view of where you are going. combine this with a really snappy shortshift manual, and a punchy engine at high revs, it sets everything nicely in place to have a car that you can "meld"into. that was how i felt when i was driving the car. no distractions, no handphones, radios, music. just me and the car. i barely spoke to the SA during the drive, because it's so involving. and not in a stressful way too, because everything is "weighted"really nicely, from the steering, throttle, brakes, gearstick and clutch (still a tad bit too keras for me). RM243k makes sense, once you drive it. UMW priced it correctly imo. It's expensive, yes. But this is Malaysia. what to do la, other than toss the vote into the box and hope for the best. but once the rigged results keluar, i'll be heading to the showroom again straightaway for a booking, if i do decide to get it.

He's really quite nice. he politely commented:"your clutch action still not perfect yet"- translated: "your left foot is shit". no drive manual too long liao

u really need to test drive the scirocco before u make any conclusions
i'll take scirocco anytime...

torque over hp !

unless u r a into drifting kind of drive.....
ft-86 is just a rear wheel drive integra or civic type-r, if u ask me.....

have you tried a gti? how different are they?

Keep looking at rear view mirror in order to drive ?

Good handling =/= able to drift. FT86 is able to oversteer but it's too underpowered to drift.

Torque is very good for daily drive but will it's balance compareble to ft86?

wait for anwar menang first, then u can buy

acceleration almost same

GTI is more practical
scirocco more raw..

but i think the scirocco handles better

Golf gti is like a mini R35 in terms of acceleration based on my last shotgun ride

Handling not too sure but u cant upgrade/mod anything at non-specialist workshop. My fren added a boost gauge only & caused the electronic system went sot-sot

unless cars price same like in US or japan, no point buy this , rather get a proton

gt86 has more than enough torque from 900 to 2.5k. it's between 2.5 to 4.2 that's really problematic. i felt it too, and the problem is people rarely go above 4k in normal daily drive conditions. but above 4.2k rpm... seriously no joke. it's definitely not slow, or lacking in power imo. you just have to be willing to squeeze it. and if you're having fun, it's easy as hell to do.

Both registered, in fact, Porsche registered in 2009 and 370Z registered in 2008.

nice review bro

Thanks, will update it a bit shortly. Typed on iPhone just now :/

well from the review..i guess it a good enough car for any ppl who looking for handling ride eh? haha...personally i find it abit too expensive lulz...but then again...im a skyline maniac...lulzz...

This. Golf r/gti and jdm cars like 86, fd2r, dc5 are different. One is all rounder and another is more track biased. But both with performance in mind.


Have u tried the dsg on gti etc? Their hatchback shape is just to fool u ma.

Agree. U know ur stuff
