Lots of people are stuck in the mindset that power = fun. I've driven muscle cars pushing 600bhp, and little rear wheel drive go karts like lotus and mazdas. I can honestly say I had more fun in the Lotus than any other car. Being pushed into your seat is one thing, but having you face almost torn off around a corner is another

The 86 ( Toyota) has a little bit firmer rear suspension than the BRZ. It may be even a bit sharper to drive . In the video , referred to , at one point the driver has the Subi labouring in third ! He says something along these lines! In reality the Mustang has the " track pack " 300hp and 0-60 in the sixes . If they were both the same price out here ,sure I would buy the Stang if I was shopping ..looks alone. But reality ,probably will not happen in Aus.

secondly the ford au ain't the only car i have in my yard. there is a toyota celica i am working on with a 2.4 under a 1988 body and its been a electrical nightmare auto to manual conversion is a bugger of a job !!!!! the list don't end there i am afraid either with 17 other cars and one more added last night i can't give a **** about no toyota because at the end of the day every toyota i've owned or worked on was a lemon and a bloody cheep plastic chinese crap made to look good it may preform but it's still **** !!!! |

I think the 86 looks really good much better then the original funny if they painted the car in white and gold and had German characters on the side for the cucumber farm like in the initial slide comics.

It took 24 pages for someone take a jab at AUs, pub record?
I saw a video review of the scion version (made by an owner), the poor bugger thought it was built on the same platform as the AE86 Corolla |

Ive owned plenty of Toyotas. Never again. Id rather drink 2 bottles of green Kmart coolant than be seen alive in an 86. |

The only thing the 86 has is good balance and a cheap price. They even claimed to put skinny tyres and deliberately non grippy rubber on it to make it easier to drive. But more likely cause it was cheaper. |

i know about the capri, and lightweight well handling car it was not. not stock anyway. it was just more bland pommie mediocrity. there was a few exceptions, but imo the capri is over rated to buggery. but if you go back through toyotas history it is littered with lightweight sporty rwd coupes. so theres no catching up to be done. |
