Well, obviously that too. But, just their NA package sounds like it would make a noticeable difference. There's no getting away from the fact it's underpowered in it's current guise and trying to disguise that by fitting ever skinnier or lower rolling resistance tyres is a cop out. The NA package would at least give it some more go further up the rev range but would still leave it a bit torque lite. Bloody good value in comparison to the equivalent on the NA VX though.

I know. That's my biggest issue. I'd have to go against everything I've ever hated if I went with any of those cars. Before long I'd have a load of shitty stickers on the door listing all of those wanky Jap tuning brands.

Let's not even get started on the god awful body kits.

I can see you getting into drifting Matt

Saw one of these last night. No idea what it was, then saw this thread. Did look rather nice in the metal.

I'd really like one too....as JG though, can not justify it in any way My man maths calculator must be broken.

If the rear seats didnt touch the fronts when im driving i'd have one - but that kills it for me.

It needs to be slightly more practical IMHO

So, for me it's perfectly practical then?

I really like the look of them. I think they look a bit MG from the back. Paradox?

[G-Bob]

yeah but you could get back seats in your VX!

[LY_Scott]

The Subaru BRZ thing was news to me. hmm

Even for a short arse they aren't practical enough to be seen as a additional car to the VX......as a replacement mibbe......and that is the problem for many.

Lets hope that somebody other than shitetek does an exhaust for it. I am still to to try the gt 86, but will do soon - not that I would ever buy a new / nearly new car every again. Steve

i'd have the subaru over the gt still too.

[Rosssco]

i'd have the subaru over the gt still too.

How come? Other than it comes in that nice mica blue colour, its supposedly not quite as sharp (although probably a relatively easy fix), has a shorter 3-year warranty, and the front end makes the car look like its raising money for Movember..

JG prefers the design of the DRL's. As do I (though with that exception, I prefer the Toyota).

I had a sit in one while the girlfriend looked at the Yaris and at 6"1 my head was touching the roof. The sales man said it was designed to seat average hight people.
