The hype about the Miata is accepted, so it seems normal. In a few years everyone will stop being such resentful fucks about the twins also. That's the nature of conventional wisdom and reactionary internet dickery.
It's tragic when car enthusiasts want to talk about cars.
My experience has mostly been non-owners going on at great length about why my car sucks.
Pfft, North Face is for the poors. Probably wearing a nice quilted Barbour or Burberry deal.
Sorry; I suffer from chronic butthurt over people missing the point of the car.
Ah, nice dig. It will spin the tires through third. I've broken it loose easily in 4th gear (it feels like there's enough definitely enough power in 5th, I just haven't wanted to die badly enough to find out.)
LTIROCKS, a man on a mission to prove his similarly priced car is superior. For some reason.
Car sales are always down in winter. Sports cars in particular suffer because snow and shitty weather make everyone remember how impractical they are.
Well, Toyota could finance a hot version also, so it's not just Subaru. It seems unlikely that the twins have made back enough of their initial development cost to justify another $50-100m for an even lower volume hot version. Especially ahead of a better-selling convertible version of the base car.
I called it a middling daily driver in another comment. You're also judging the interior too harshly. You're comparing it to the GTI, which has the best interior in its class. The quality of the interior is part of the intention of it's design.
Okay, I'll guess I'll add one more note about intention in design. The GTI (which I adore and consider to be probably the best car in the world for the money) was designed to a refined, fun and practical daily driver. The FT-86 twins were designed to have the best possible weight, handling and center of gravity that…
I was going to write a long post in response, since I went from a MKVI GTI to a BRZ. But I'm pretty tired of being butthurt towards basically everyone on every car site. The short version is that they're different cars that excel at different things.
Whenever I get annoyed with how middling it is as a daily driver, I flog it a bit and go, "Oh, right."
It's seems like Subaru has no idea how to sell the car and no desire to spend any money on finding out how.
I average about 27mpg. That seems decent for a 200hp 4-cyl NA. Am I crazy?
Like, are you posting from work while you're being paid to work.
Well, that was pretty incompetent. Just don't tell me it was a conspiracy.
See the distinction between state property and public property. The state owns the building.
