I only use jalopnik for buying vehicles

2018-07-24 22:43:06 UTC  

They do these "reports" and sell their brand to automotive companies

2018-07-24 22:43:12 UTC  

Ew jalopnik

2018-07-24 22:43:23 UTC  

jalopnik is the most reputable car sjte

2018-07-24 22:43:24 UTC  

site

2018-07-24 22:43:26 UTC  

Kidding. Dont actually care about them overmuch

2018-07-24 22:43:56 UTC  

but yeah, most ranking companies are about as trustworthy as credit rating agencies

2018-07-24 22:44:14 UTC  

jalopnik is independent though

2018-07-24 22:44:20 UTC  

According to consumer reports the Toyota 86 is the most reliable new car you can buy in the US.

2018-07-24 22:44:21 UTC  

they're the best

2018-07-24 22:44:30 UTC  

that wouldn't surprise me

2018-07-24 22:44:40 UTC  

low power, rwd, simple

2018-07-24 22:44:45 UTC  

?

2018-07-24 22:44:47 UTC  

Wait

2018-07-24 22:44:49 UTC  

Hold up

2018-07-24 22:44:57 UTC  

Last i looked they called it shit

2018-07-24 22:45:07 UTC  

Fun, but shit

2018-07-24 22:45:23 UTC  

I mean I just linked the consumer reports listing that you said you used as a reference yourself last year.

2018-07-24 22:45:31 UTC  

It's right there.

2018-07-24 22:45:46 UTC  

On my phone. Doesnt like opening links

2018-07-24 22:45:55 UTC  

Man that must be an old phone.

2018-07-24 22:46:02 UTC  

Nah. Just slow

2018-07-24 22:46:08 UTC  

2017 J3

2018-07-24 22:46:12 UTC  

Every phone I've used in the last 8 years has opened links fine.

2018-07-24 22:46:33 UTC  

Technically it does. But it is a little slow under the best circumstances

2018-07-24 22:46:41 UTC  

most complaints about the gt86 I've seen come down to it not having enough power because a lot of people don't seem to understand that it's a car sort of in the same bracket as the MX5 - it's a driving experience car, not a speed car

2018-07-24 22:46:41 UTC  

With shit internet it is worse

2018-07-24 22:47:10 UTC  

Well I would upload an image instead if I could, but only links are allowed.

2018-07-24 22:47:19 UTC  

and don't get me wrong, I wouldn't buy one because I'd like it to be faster, or if I were to buy one I'd also be immediately buying forced induction for it

2018-07-24 22:47:41 UTC  

The gt86 needs a supercharged uplevel version

2018-07-24 22:47:43 UTC  

Badly

2018-07-24 22:47:53 UTC  

but I also won't complain about it being as it is, only that they don't also offer a forced induction option from the factory

2018-07-24 22:47:57 UTC  

And the brz needs a high revving 2.5L

2018-07-24 22:48:35 UTC  

I think forced induction would solve any power issues with the car

2018-07-24 22:48:50 UTC  

For the 86 yes

2018-07-24 22:48:56 UTC  

it's the same car

2018-07-24 22:49:03 UTC  

Well yeah.

2018-07-24 22:49:24 UTC  

But why buy the brz if the 86 is the same all the way down to the engine?

2018-07-24 22:49:37 UTC  

because the brz is usually cheaper

2018-07-24 22:49:44 UTC  

Plus a turbo brz might mess with the wrx

2018-07-24 22:50:19 UTC  

at least here, subaru seem to apply builders discount to the car
