Thanks for your comments bros! That’s exactly the combination I had in mind… RWD, row my own gears. Any common issues with either the MX5 or 86 that I should be aware of?

For the GR86, I'm not qualified to speak of any specific issues as I don't personally own one.
I suppose the usual suspects would be the lack of a turbo, the cheap interior, and having to be are of maintenance intricacies on a boxer motor.
But its a damn good looking coupe with timeless exterior, nobody makes these anymore, probably the last of the mohicans.
Annnddd....its a Toyota ! you won't go wrong with it.
Its on me bucket list though, before kicking the bucket lol tongue.gif

On the other hand...if you don't already have a dropthetop, perhaps its a good time to get one for the fleet thumbsup.gif
Good luck with the new car doc, which ever it may be biggrin.gif
