It's been a while since I've written something here. Come to think of it, I really must stop starting my posts with this sentence. The way to go might be to post more frequently, but I don't seem to manage it lately.
Anyway, off to the meat of the post, the car.
I present you the Toyota GT86 / Subaru BRZ. This car should need no introduction, unless you spend the last years under a rock or you have absolutely no interest in cars (what ARE you doing here ??)
So there you have it, I've got the successor of the celica on my mind. It's a proper sports car in such that it has the engine up front, the driven wheels at the back, a low center of gravity and the proper amount of doors, being 2.
In the last couple of years I haven't seen a negative review. Most of them go something like it's a brilliant and fun car to drive. If you really twist the reviewers arm they say it could do with some more power for track use. Since I've driven it once many moons ago, I can concur.
Living in Belgium, a country without any form of car culture, (there are no tracks, you can not modify your car - even something as small as changing a bulb for a led is frowned upon and the bulk of the cars have a 1.6l diesel up front for tax reasons) I would even go as far as saying the 200hp is plenty for day to day use.
The only mod I might consider is having a set of different size rear rims so that I can "recycle" cheap tires at the back :-)
I've been checking out list prices for second hand ones and they've fallen as low as 15k. So depending on the funds that rest me after our apartment is done this might be an option. Fingers crossed.
