I have a Premium AT. The AT has drink holders you can use ( I love to drink and drive...coffee) If I want to play race driver I can always use the paddle shifters. I will be 80 too soon (this month). This 86 is fun to drive and has enough HP, you always want more!!! I only dislike that it's hard to get in and out of. I'm lucky I'm a short old fart. I wish there was a track near me so I could drive it fast and safe.
It was a pain but I used my 22 brz to help my mom move and you'd be suprised how much stuff I got in there with the seat folded down. It was pretty snug compared to my impreza 5 door but I was pleasantly surprised with how much stuff I actually fit in there.
@@jasonrichard6286 its really fun, getting used to driving a manual around all the time was tuff at first. I would recomend it if you are looking for a simple sports car.
im definitely going to hold out for the next gen, rumored to have an in house engine making more power and i hope they give us an updated infotainment(hope it doesn't stick out from above the dash) and with a decent sound system
@ighostfaces the source has always been spot on over the years with his leaks. Toyota did part ways with subaru so the next gen is going to be in house, plus the 2024 is getting better brakes and a decent sound system so things are already aligning. Also i know the car is fun and feels great just how it is but some of us would like more power out of a small compact car and i have been thinking of dropping an inline 6 in one but if they do put a turbo in it from factory that makes 300 crank then it'd be better for me to wait. And pricing wouldn't be that drastic, there's going to be a base, base +, and a premium
@@zykotek1221 There’s no room for this “car”, GR Corolla starts at 38k and it’s already more of a successor to the original 86 anyway, link your source and id be more than happy to see what they have gotten right.
If you want more power in a small rear wheel drive car , The four-cylinder Turbo and 6 cylinder turbo Supra. The four-cylinder Turbo makes around 250 horsepower with great torque and of course the Supra makes close to 400 horsepower if not more.
I've been looking at these cars. Not sure about the boxer engine though, seen some RTV issues talked about and some weird maintenance requirements, otherwise a solid engine, but a bit of an unknown to me.
If it makes you feel any better, Toyota made BMW tweak the B58 so that it’d be up to Toyota’s reliability standards when they put it in the new supra so maybe they did that here too with this engine?
How to fix any “issues” with the FA24 if you plan on tracking the car: 1) you do NOT run 0w-20, that shit shears BAD at 250*F, you run 5W-40, fuck what Toyota says that is what GR-Cup cars run. 2) overfill at LEAST .5L, up to 1.0L for TRACK USE ONLY. This reduces pressure lost on right hand turns under load. I went from seeing 18-22psi on hard rights on 200 tread, to 45psi+ 3) oil cooler. Factory oem one doesn’t hack it. Smaller core size, shorter lines. Some coolers have a larger pressure delta than others. I’ve seen some people eliminate the oem one and just run the a/m because of the pressure delta across the system contributing to pressure losses. 4) get an oil pressure gauge, i went 52mm AEM unit with a 3D printer gauge attached to a vent. 5) optional baffle. To this date no baffle has been proven to reduce the drop, in part because they’re a horizontal design rather than one designed to keep oil on the side side of the pan on right hand turns. There are developments being made on this. Do this, get yourself some catless unequal lengths, e85, and some Zach at CSG magic ecutek services, and party on
Every time i see a review of this car, I keep thinking how cheap the interior looks. Then I go back to watching videos on the 230i and makes me want to get that instead for my next car.
No stick with the Camry , 25 years old is too old to just be getting a first license. You may have missed the boat on being able to handle a car well, ever.
It’s not a comparison. Shifter is better/smoother but longer throws in the Si, clutch is MUCH softer, but the 86 leaves it in the dust stock vs stock. People shit on the FA24 but the L15 is even more suspect, thin ass rods that like to exit the chat after a downpipe swap and a tune lol
Oil pressure is fixable bud. 1) 5W-40 NOT 0W-20 EPA GARBAGE 2) .5-1.0L overfill for track use only 3) a/m oil cooler with smaller core, shorter lines, smaller pressure delta. Remove the oem is pressure drops across the system are more than 6-7psi from one end to the other. 4) baffle (though I do recommend waiting for the vertical designs coming out that keep oil on the right side during right hand turns 5) oil pressure gauge to monitor system. People who have done this have eliminated 90% of the pressure drops on right hand turns without the use of accusump
@@Nohoesjesusfrlol. The only thing you need to worry about is the interest rate the dealership will want from you. I remember waayy back when I bought my first car w no credit history my interest was super high. So unless you don't care about wasting thousands on interest alone then buy it.
