I’ll start. It’s the 911 Dakar. I’ve always been a massive fan of the Safari models. But being this off-road capable is insane, and not to mention that it might be one of the best daily driven cars ever made. I always loved big boxy SUVs for daily driving, but this seems to combine my 2 favorite things.
Not as fancy as or expensive as other but it’s an achievable dream. Gen 2 Brz. As a 23 year old getting into a good paying job it seems like a reality soon but damn if I didn’t love that car the second u saw it. Always wanted a gen 1 but could never afford it as a high schooler.
I’ve driven the new 86 on track and I think it’s one of the purest driving cars out there. I looked into getting one of those but dealer markup kept me away.
Are either Subaru or Toyota honouring warranties with respect to oil starvation on track with the new FA24s?
This is the biggest thing keeping me away from the car.
Same. The new ones look incredible and, while it’s an absolute blast with the few mods I’ve done, I’m absolutely shredding brakes on the rex (this is with upgraded pads and rotors too).
Toyota is.
I’ve owned mine for almost two years and I still get excited every time I walk outside and see it in my driveway. At this point in my life I could easily afford something more expensive, but… I don’t see the point, this thing is great.
As like me, I bought a 2007 hardtop convertible Miata about 18 months ago with only 9000 miles on it. I loved that thing. But really wanted to step up to the C8. I still miss the way they felt on the road.
My brother had the gen 1 BRZ and while it was a pain to get in and out man was it fun to drive!!! Now it wasn’t “fast” as a true sports car but I’d say it was one of my favorite cars I’ve driven. You could drive it close to its limit without feeling scared since the limit was much closer to safety than other faster cars.
I bought my gen 2 BRZ a little over a year ago and I absolutely love it. Any and all complaints are minor in comparison to how much fun the car is to own.
Already sunk in $2000 of mods, and got a lot more planned!
I was the same exact way, and then the gr Corolla was announced
Was literally just in your spot. Since the ft86 was teased by Toyota I’ve been dreaming of one of them. After working for a few years I was finally able to get one and I’ve never been so happy about money spent.
The car just wants to have fun and I can’t help but smile while driving even in bumper to bumper.
Gen 1 was my affordable dream car. When I could afford one, gen 1 was at the end of its lifecycle and the new one both wasn’t yet available in my country and had fallen behind others in its interior.
Given that we’re in a golden age of affordable performance with the i30N and GR Yaris/Corolla which are in the same price range as the BRZ, the value proposition isn’t that great anymore.
