Really cant make up my mind
Keep thinking obout getting an 86 and like how they drive etc. (Fancy a RWD car thats not a two seater and doesnt have //m tax on it. So these seem to fit the bill well.)
However I do like my civic and it has nothing wrong with it just I have had it a long time now and kind of need to spend money on it to get it any further. so time to move on?
Civic is still worth good money and have a few people interested in it so will sell quick.
Only thing putting me off is I dont want to buy an 86 for good money and then them to fall in price and be worth sweet fa in a few months time.
Not sure if that will happen as they havent sold many of them and there seems to be no facelift or new model in the pipe line that I am aware of....

Was an GT86 at the petrol station the other day, must of done something to his exhaust as it sounded very nice, its one car i do want (there isn't many), i still contemplate selling the a3 and getting something on PAYG or putting it towards buying a decent 2nd hand one.
Am sure they will bring out a new model soon and then they will all drop in price.

The ones I've seen. I've not liked the rear lights. Think they have clear bits and just remind me of naff aftermarket lights from about 10yrs ago. Should be red all over imo. Its like people have to unchav modern cars now in order to be modified.

I don't think they are a nice looking car at all. Looks like a Hyundai coupe.

I bet the GT86 owners can't wait for the 2086 year personal number plates to be released

Saw the above with a big ol' wing on it the other day... looked really nice in my opinion! Anything's better than those standard wheels.

I like the GT86, one near me in burnt orange (or whatever colour it's called) but agree with 3CorsaMeal that the lights are horrible, remind me of lexus lights

Won't be 2086.
Plates next year will be 16 and 66, in 2026 they'll be 26 and 76 and in 2036 they'll be 36 and ******86******
You're only 50 years out. Goof effort anyway.

Ugly cars in my opinion, never driven one. Never seen one with a decent set of wheels either.

Kind of agree here. To me they look like they came out 10-15 years ago and just look like a kitted up celica
