Meh, test drove one and there was way too much body roll for my liking. It does feel lighter though.

needs a few tweaks but I like it

not enough 3-door hatches in the US so i'm not mad at any new ones being considered
 
:lol: at that trash

Flushed diff and trans fluids, oil change, and some new performance tires, still nothing close to my old Evo. I am ready to move on from the FR-S...

Changing oil is supposed to change the way the car drives?

No facetious man, it doesn't

It's hard to get the excitement with this car without twisty roads, Evo was fun going to the grocery store or around the block. Have had this car since 2012 and rarely felt satisfied with it

Im surprised you bought it if youre looking for something that drives like an evo. It was well known it lacks power.
 
Nah never pulled the trigger on that. Next car will be fast. I bought the 86 thinking I'd turbo it but it's not reliable with a kit unless boost pressure is kept real low. I'm too old for all the headaches :lol:
 
Speaking to Motor via a translator, Tada-san said that the new car is going to surprise everyone when it will be eventually revealed.

“We have started planning the next generation 86 [but to] try to provide something beyond people’s expectation is not easy,” he said. “It will definitely be above the fans’ expectation, because if you supply what all the fans really want, nobody gets really surprised or impressed, so wait and see, we provide something that will be really surprise.”

The 86’s chief engineer has said in the past that adding a turbo to the new generation model would be the ‘easy answer’ but he dismissed the use of traditional hybrid power in the new car.

“Not necessarily we would be saying hybrid as such, hybrid could be a part of the answer but if [we] provide just a normal hybrid it make no-one surprise[d],” he said.

When asked if this means that the new model will get an electric motor to boost the petrol engine Tada-san said, “It’s a good idea but it is not surprising as [we] want to make. The whole package as a new generation 86 … want to make everyone go wow, and beyond expectations.”
 
What do you drive now? I'm almost done paying mine off and am looking to get into something else but nothing else really interests me 

I just leased a Mazda CX3

I just wanted something inexpensive with good gas mileage, sold my Audi A5 also
