Toyota 86

[Tim]

There really is no comptitor to the Toyota in Australia. A 2nd hand MX5 or 350Z is about all I could think of.

I think the low power and even lower torque would be pretty hard to live with after getting out of a turbo Falcon.

[Panda Eyes]

agreed...

[Henz]

Even an na falcon.

I want one but need the family car for a few more years :(

Saw one in the flesh today driving past the local Toyota dealer. Meh. Not terrible, but had the bonnet up.

I remember them saying was a "blank canvas" as most guys who'll want more performance will mod it anyway.

Might be one of those cars that once you drive it, whoa! Similar to first Type R Integra in Oz a few years back. I drove one 2 days after driving a Lotus Elise and handled almost as well. Would have bought one with the price difference.

86 might not be " fast" but "feel" fast like MX-5. Four wheel drifting one of those when I worked at a Mazda dealership was awesome.

Like some of the new bikes. R1 or similar you have to be doing 250 to feel fast but more fun on a motard doing 80 sort of thing in same situation.

Could be a "fun" car at lower speeds?

Be it aToyota and slow, but will sell very well with a starting price of $29990 driveway. That's Focus money for a 2 door sports car.

any hairdressers on the forum?

I'll jump on GT5 now and tell what they are like to drive!

It does look PRETTY enough though...

[discostig]

Probably too tall/long but first to put a Barra in it gets $5 from me!

PS must do skids.

They've squeezed JZs in so a barra would fit long ways, not sure about height.
