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.

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.

Spend 30k more get Golf R. More power, all wheel drive and way better in practicality.

Tell you what sure can say a lot about RWD cars. Can say a lot about manual tranny. The thing is 90% already are automatic drivers and does not know what driver engagement is. The other 10% like us wave our small flag about cars that "were". While the people that "were" only lives on as legends. Whatever the case, we are still meatbags moved by metal. hahaha.

Well, it's down to old mate's priorities. If he wants a good drive as described, I don't see why he shouldn't get the car he likes.

I had choice of getting a brand new auto Honda Civic and an R34 about 4 years ago, got the R34, still enjoying myself. Was wanting to get a Volkswagen or an Audi last year, got an Evo, still enjoying myself.

If I get a fat bonus, f*** it I'll buy the BMW 1M straight up. Loved it to bits then I was passed the wheel.

oh.. finally come to your senses to support back japs..    can be fren again.. 

oi why suddenly got teana wan? 

fuh! i saw this car at pyramid toyota roadshow. sat at the driver seat and as u said, it's very nice and fitting, with everything within reach of your arm. just nice.

but alas the price is just too expense. prolly in the next 5-10 years la. not now

i dunno why, maybe im getting older hence my preference for uncle car

Lol suddenly all used to mention Megane lol before that is gti here gti there lol

Cayman ftw... 100x confirm chicks will stare. The 86 is just another 370z when later every beng will be driving one.

The cayman can be only 200ish but maintainence and petrol gonna kill u

But what amazes me is the thought they put into the car. It's very small things. Like the side compartments. Or the rear seats. Yes, it's damn damn tight. BUt having a four seater lowers insurance cost in many countries, and they actually made it barely usable. The front seat's back can be flexed, and makes the rear ride bearable for at least 30-40 minutes.

so TS ,
a Rm243k Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0 or Toyota 86 RM243k ?

have to test drive the scirocco first. but i have a feeling that i won't like the scirocco. driven a GTI before, and was told a scirocco is largely similar. It feels good, very very fast, and great handling. But in terms of driving involvement, 86 takes the cake. It's a much more driver focused car. Only about 10-15 corners in total during my test drive, and you know that it's something really special. It's hard to translate into words, but you really need to test drive it.
