Try to find a bad review of the new 22' Toyota GR86 and it's twin the Subrau BRZ. If you like driving like a hooligan, these cars are really entertaining. If you drive one hard, you will be going fast. You might not be going too fast like many of the big HP offerings in today's fun cars.
My Gut feeling is that this platform is going to be very, very popular. Very Low priced, very analog. 6 speed close ratio manual, Michelin PilotSport Summer tires, low CG, stiff body, aluminum roof, fenders and hood. 2.4 litre high revving high output, naturally aspirated flat four, LSD, All the electronics you need, with none of the data tracking. Basically like riding a two stroke street bike compared to the direction car mfgs are going.. They are light unlike the electric cars currently on offer.. (2850 or so pounds) Sold out ...but dealers and scalpers trying very hard to make Wall street grade profits on flipping them.
Oh, they are small sports cars...but you could get away with dailying one if you thought driving was fun... and friends would never ask for a back seat ride more than once because the back seat doesn't actually hold people. They do hold Golf bags if you could take one to a club that lets in such cars!
Try one while you can. Total Blast. Burns 93 octane unfortunately.
