depends on the car, not all cars are designed for speed as a priority

2018-07-06 15:11:52 UTC  

look at the gt86

2018-07-06 15:12:12 UTC  

it's slower than a lot of hatchbacks, that doesn't mean it's worse than them though

2018-07-06 15:12:34 UTC  

same with the mx5

2018-07-06 15:12:52 UTC  

they're great cars, but there are much faster and imo less desirable alternatives

Refutes Add Lightness

Cites gt86 and Mx5

WELL WELL WELL

2018-07-06 15:15:49 UTC  

is the 370z a bad car then?

2018-07-06 15:16:55 UTC  

the GT86 is categorically worse than my $5k cheaper Focus ST

2018-07-06 15:17:06 UTC  

I would rather have the GT86

2018-07-06 15:17:24 UTC  

yeah but some of us have more sense than money

2018-07-06 15:17:54 UTC  

250hp/275tq, turbo, 4 doors, same weight, and $5k cheaper

2018-07-06 15:18:36 UTC  

the difference between me and you is that I actually cross-shopped them

2018-07-06 15:18:46 UTC  

i'm not just saying this as an armchair argument

2018-07-06 15:18:57 UTC  

ah and the transmission is way better too

2018-07-06 15:20:05 UTC  

I will admit I haven't driven the current ST, but I have driven the RS

2018-07-06 15:20:30 UTC  

my preference for the GT86 comes down to road feel though, and my own personal affection for rwd

2018-07-06 15:21:43 UTC  

I have a lot of complaints with the gt86, mainly the lack of a factory turbo option and that toyota didn't really have much to do with it despite it wearing a toyota badge and looking imo better than the brz

2018-07-06 15:22:01 UTC  

though that is aesthetic

2018-07-06 15:22:02 UTC  

I like RWD more for sure, but that's not enough to justify the price, lower power, and overall lower value of the GT86

2018-07-06 15:22:24 UTC  

the RS is a good car, but no way in fuck i'm paying 40k for a focus

2018-07-06 15:22:35 UTC  

I paid $21,600 for my ST brand new

2018-07-06 15:23:17 UTC  

by preference for certain vehicles over others usually comes down to how they feel and for the driving experience I like the GT86, I wouldn't buy one though

2018-07-06 15:23:46 UTC  

Feel and driving experience in my ST is lovely

2018-07-06 15:23:55 UTC  

its its just as low as the GT86

2018-07-06 15:24:15 UTC  

the RS is much stiffer and unforgiving, the ST is in the sweet spot

2018-07-06 15:24:30 UTC  

the main reason I wouldn't buy a GT86 is because for the same money I could easily get a supra or R34 GTT

2018-07-06 15:25:04 UTC  

yeah there's that too

2018-07-06 15:25:07 UTC  

its just bad value

2018-07-06 15:25:19 UTC  

I mean, I bought my ST for the same price as a non-GTI golf

2018-07-06 15:25:24 UTC  

well all new cars are comparatively bad value

2018-07-06 15:25:28 UTC  

also anything is better than vw

2018-07-06 15:25:31 UTC  

vw is awful

2018-07-06 15:25:42 UTC  

I utterly resent vw even existing

2018-07-06 15:26:41 UTC  

just saying, what other sports cars can you buy for under $22k?

2018-07-06 15:26:50 UTC  

shame ford is killing everything

2018-07-06 15:27:01 UTC  

ford just want to make SUVs

2018-07-06 15:27:14 UTC  

sadly, that seems to be the future of cars
