I just purchased one and it's fucking amazing to drive. Hitting 30 mph curves at 65-70 and powering out of them is just fun. It handles great and makes you want to enjoy the road. After finally getting one, I'm really confused by all the negative comments on this car.

People keep saying "more power, more power" but they don't realize that more power is going to drive the price of the car way up. It's meant to be an affordable, tuner-friendly car so you can add the power when you want it. It's not like this car can't handle more power. I've seen these cars with over 350 horsepower, which is absolutely insane for a car of this weight. If you had more power out of the factory, it would make it inaccessible to many people who this car markets itself to. It would easily go up to +34k. It's not a WRX. The WRX has more power, but it doesn't drive anything like the 86/BRZ. Even the base WRX costs more than the 86.

This guy nails a dialog with all the right content that align with what the car is meant to be and some people cant see past the way he speaks.

I think the idea of the car was to push driving experience which it does. Also as a bare-bones platform for tuning and customizing it's great. Because they made it affordable, certain things were sacrificed but I'm perfectly happy with that as they put their focus in the right places. The vehicle handles so well; what a chassy.

The cheap interior of the 86 really doesn't bug me at all. I've noticed that plenty of newer vehicles with soft-touch plastics on the dash tend not to age well and last in hot weather climates. I'm not saying hard plastic IS the way to, but some surfaces including some harder plastic will help the car to last longer, ESPECIALLY if said plastic is grained well and built well. And the suede? What's wrong with suede on the dash? Isn't that something most sports cars have had in the past and STILL have today? I'll take a little cost-cutting on the inside considering where the majority of the money was put on this car: the way it drives.
