if only it had ECOBOOSTâ„¢

It is the car that everyone wanted.

I like mine.

I got one, really enjoy it.

The convertible is so sexy. Usually I like the coupe more than the convertible but the coupe FRS, GT86, BRZ looks cheap.

>boxer"""""""engine""""""""""
why did they do this?

I think it'd be a good car if it was about $10k less new.

For the same money there's other car's I'd far sooner buy though, or spend a bit more on something twice as good.

> have it cost 15k when base models of civic/corolla/mazda3 are 16k

Too bad they don't have a retractable hardtop. I'd pay the premium for that.

Oh it comes convertible now? Mite b cool... i was waiting for Fiata tho...

wish there was a turbo model

I love to shitpost, but it is a pretty good fun car.

Would be nice if it was faster than a minivan though.

It's a great car. Just a little on the slow side.

This. Car looks great and is RWD. Engine is shit and it's slow as balls.

It was subarus idea
Toyota does the fuel injection (leading to better fuel economy in newer subuaru cars) and the manual transmission in the 86
Id rather have a I4 NA with around 200 to 250 horsepower.

>Id rather have a I4 NA with around 200 to 250 horsepower.

225hp direct injected 2.5 liter 4 cyl

ye, that would be nice.... but would never happen

It's a good car.
You can certainly get power out of the motor as well.

Wrong video link, oh well.

>It can make power, therefore its good.
>Post hoc ergo propter hoc

You can get power out of a ford tempo.

Dude.

A common complaint against the car is that you can't tune it to get much power out of it.
Expecting a factory car to be a road monster for an affordable MSRP is pretty silly.

>watching music videos while roasting porsches in your nissan

tfw I will never be this cool

>affordable MSRP

>25k base
>affordable

That car was supposed to base 21.5 out the door. Management took a hint from hype and raised it 3 grand right before release.

That car can now be 30 thousand dollars for what should have been a cheapie cool car.

The ricer tax ruined the whole fuckin thing and you're part of the fuckin problem.

Just because you can't afford one new doesn't mean it's a bad car. What is the msrp for the focus st these days?

You are salty af. It is only a little overpriced but people are still buying one. Wait a while and you can get a low mileage premium for less than a limited. All with the warranty intact.

OP misses the point.

At less than 200bhp you aren't going to get a asphalt roaster.

Jeremy Clarkson said it best about the GT86/BRZ, "You'll come in last, but you'll do it with a smile on your face."

The point of this car was NOT the subbie boxer, though it may help with center of gravity. It was the low curb weight and rear differential that was designed for out-of-the-box drifting.

It won't win any drag races, but take it on a downhill mountain road... It might surprise you.

The subbie engine is the reason the car is shit and everyone knows it. Not only the engine but it's size made them have to go MacPherson strut.

it should be $10,000 new with 0% interest apr and have at least 400hp and twin turbos

Subaru being in charge of engines in a Toyota is like FIAT being in charge of design in a Ferrari

U are a retard

Transverse inline 4 and 5 are as wide as a boxer yet some civcs had double wishbones

Toyota said no to a turbo, I blame them.

To be fair a tuned NA toyota engine would have been more than sufficient in this car, especially considering that handling is important, and it wouldn't blow up as often as the Subashit

Never had that problem and never seen it before, the worst that has happened to me is the head gasket meme.

>3S-GE BEAMS with direct injection
>245 width RE-11 and RE970AS as stock tires depending on location.
>Double wishbone front suspension
>$20k starting price
>Named after the Celica instead of the Corolla
Fixed.

I see people getting base FoST OTD for 22k. Some even less

20k start price with 600$ worth of tires that last 6 months. Hahahaha good idea.

Can someone explain everyone's thoughts that a Toyota engine would be much faster than a Subie boxer? I fail to see how

It should also make 1000mpg and run 9 second quarter miles

People are getting base BRZs for 23.5k. I'd much rather have the BRZ desu.

This is the real spiritual successor to the ae86.
not that gt86 bullshit. don't be fooled either you
Amerifucks, this isnt a Lexus.
This is the Toyota Altezza RS200 BEAMS

>220bhp 2.0l i4 NA
>Front/Rear Double Wishbone
>TRD LSD from the factory
>6spd Manual
>can fit your mates in it

Don't want none of that fuccboi gt86 bullshit.

>3S-GE
>30 year old engine design
top lel you poorfags are amusing

Its fine but it got memed to death. Also no turbo.

Here they are fucking shit and SLOW

>$22k+ aud used
>Cant even turn because of the shit stock tyres/rims combo
>My old dunnydoor literally smokes them all the time

American cars have always been cheaper compared to Japanese counterparts

Fail to see how? How far is your head in the sand? Name one performance engine without a turbo that Subaru has made. Their performance engine needs 2.5 liters so compete with 2 liter inline engines.

You're just proving Subaru sucks at engineering and that a partnership with literally any other jap brand would have been better.

Too bad it actually competes with the FiST which goes 19k OTD
>same power
>same weight
>50 more torx

40k usd here

>People want out the box race cars

I wish it was a little cheaper, 20k for base. Otherwise its a great platform for people who are into modding and motorsport.

>sitting here waiting for the 86 to come out in the states.. hurry up toyota.

And I can't wait for people to try and get rid of their old GT86 because they're getting the facelift on the first day.

It isn't good, it's fucking brilliant.

Altezzas and Lexus are spiritual successors of Cressidas/Crowns overseas, sportier luxury cars ... AE86 were just sportier Corollas

Kek, the convertible makes it more of a pleb car

Toyota fucked up the FR-S and the tC by
1. Making them Scions
2. Not making faster versions
Both would be great cars if they were Toyota branded and had turbos.

You do realise there isn't a single legit review of this car anywhere that calls it anything less than the 2nd coming right? The only people that hate on it are bench racers on Veeky Forums who only ride the bus
