GT86 and the Subaru version will be great drives but two seats and a dinky boot make it useless for me. It also looks very small when seen next to other cars.

I did find it a shame the subaru version was not 4wd and turbo charged  as I may have been interested.
I like small coupes and find it a shame car.makers seem to think big is better for each new model.

i would certainly consider one of these. they're going to be a massive success

loads of tuning parts available, great value and performance

a 250bhp STI version is on the cards. that will be a quick car at just 1200kg

they're doing even more basic interior versions with unpainted bumpers and steel wheels for tracy days and modifying etc. not sure if they're coming to the uk though

I think the major problem with it is that it's normally aspirated, very little that can be done to improve that relatively low Horse Power.

Yeh High revving NA engines are hard to get power from. I don't think the STI version will be turbo either as there isn't room in the engine bay apparently

I'm surprised they got a powerfull NA car thru all the emmisions regs. Most manufacturers are ditching their 2.0 NA in europe now as they're too dirty
