QUOTE(C-Fu @ Jul 30 2012, 08:25 PM) try Scirocco next, and tell me what you think if its better. would love to hear your review, as i'll be trying out the 86 soon. ahak. can can. scirocco r is priced the same. (roughly).PM me if you want Mr Au's contact. Can call him directly and arrange for a session. Nice man. After that, let me know of your thoughts. Those who have linked the other cars, thanks. But not for me. Big litreage, road tax is high and maintenance is just mind bogglingly expensive. For someone like me, I don't mind forking out that large sum upfront, but I don't want any headaches from maintenance. Which is why if I were to put in the money, it would be for a brand new car. |

QUOTE(netmatrix @ Jul 30 2012, 08:23 PM) Well if u put it that way, u can put cheaper Altezza@Is200, (very old) A31 cefiro, S15, 350Z, RX8, R34 GTS, RX7, MX5 blah blah. All those old goodies that cost less just to know what driving RWD feels like? Thats not the point. U can't sell cars that way anymore. Even for performance cars. The general rich wants things that they could drive everyday. The really rich ones want something to drive that kills them. GT86 is not in those category. Of course RWD isn't the only thing, the lower centre of gravity due to the boxer, the near 50:50 balance, a good LSD and a sharp toe give it good driving characteristics. If compare modern to modern boy racer, Megane RS, Clio RS, Type R u know those range of cars that breach RM200 K marketed as part time race cars. No point comparing platforms, because the old cheaper RWD cars at the back are dying to eat the GT86 already. Hell you could buy a Mark X and have fun if you wanted to. So the GT86 is a looker. But so is the Megane RS. The only big fault i find here is Malaysian selling price. And to many hidden Subaru badges on a Toyota. Not that i have a problem anyway since there are so many 20B, SR20 and F20C equipped AE86 running around the world and in Malaysia. Kids these days just want to go fast, I mean as evidenced by the 10 bajillion threads on "What is the fastest speed you go before", it is the current trend. I think the 86 wants to buckle the trend and market itself as a driver's car that is well balanced, rather than OMG I NEED TO HIT 9K RPM FOR TORQUE! I personally don't need a high top speed to have fun and this is the kind of car where you can see yourself dragging into a corner till it lifts and then comes out smoothly like a champ. |
