jalopnik is independent though
According to consumer reports the Toyota 86 is the most reliable new car you can buy in the US.
they're the best
that wouldn't surprise me
low power, rwd, simple
?
Wait
Hold up
Last i looked they called it shit
Fun, but shit
I mean I just linked the consumer reports listing that you said you used as a reference yourself last year.
It's right there.
On my phone. Doesnt like opening links
Man that must be an old phone.
Nah. Just slow
2017 J3
Every phone I've used in the last 8 years has opened links fine.
Technically it does. But it is a little slow under the best circumstances
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
With shit internet it is worse
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
The gt86 needs a supercharged uplevel version
Badly
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
And the brz needs a high revving 2.5L
I think forced induction would solve any power issues with the car
For the 86 yes
it's the same car
Well yeah.
But why buy the brz if the 86 is the same all the way down to the engine?
because the brz is usually cheaper
Plus a turbo brz might mess with the wrx
at least here, subaru seem to apply builders discount to the car
so it's like 2k cheaper than from toyota
despite being identical aside from aesthetics
Not sure if they do that here. Never considered buying one so i havent looked
If they do, them alright
Toyota still needs to do something if they want to sell theirs tho
toyota don't seem interested in selling them honestly
And if subaru is gonna do tit for tat, they shouldnt use the same strategy. In part because it would encroach on the wrx
