If straight line is your thing I would agree.

If your more of a roundabout hero this thing is king.

Track day warriors who don't want the headaches that go with track mods will also be impressed I think. Have only driven the 86 on the road but was mightly impressed.

30 odd grand on the road put you into evo/sti/gtr territory, and they will all destory this on a track.

Plus

-back seat has been regarded as ununseable

-boot tiny

So its pretty useless as a daily too

Fb20 is not turbo friendly afaik currently, nothing like the ej20 yet, give it time i reckon,

They probably have a good reason they arent doing factory turbo just yet!

Spotted a silver 86 tonight giving it stick around a corner on South St, looked good and very stable/flat through the corner.

Might get the Mrs one next year as she needs a new daily.

FA20 is what is in the BRZ/86.
