    Nick I did 18 nonstop laps of Spa on Goodyear F1 Eagles Assy without any problems... turbo'd.

    Special K got a reaction from Test Drives Unlimited in Sell me the GT86 guys   
    Toni, each to his own I agree. But there's nothing wrong with the auto box for road use, especially in sport mode.
     
    And an auto box car - the only one on track in the UK - won the inaugural F2 class in the GT86 Cup last year.
     
    Admittedly that's with a £2grand upgrade but that's way cheaper than a 6-speed sequential, which is the only way a manual will box outperform it.
     
    Oh, and it's cheaper road fund tax...

    Special K got a reaction from Twigman in How long would you expect to have to wait for spares?   
    Ian - I don't think it's acceptable.. but I had the same situation 18 months ago with a chassis part, which they had to source from the production line as I was the first, allegedly, to need it in the  whole world...
     
    I suggest that, if you have not done so already, you speak with Toyota Customer Services. Quite often they can 'expedite matters'.. let's face it, an unhappy GT86DC member is not their ideal pr client... and one would expect at least a half decent courtesy car whilst the matter is resolved.

    All new drivers - whether approved by a UK Testing facility or immigrant using an Int'l Driving Permit - should have a microchip implanted in them for their first three years which will "read" their distance travelled/speed attained/legal parking/stupid turning/volume and type of in-car music preferred.
     
    A panel of three worthy people in the UK - and I offer myself as one - should have the arbitrary right to ban 'em, without leave to appeal.
     
    This would include all EU lorry/coach/car drivers as well...
     
    Vote for me....

    I looked into the figures a little more....
     
    I have *NO IDEA* why they think the Subaru will have a greater residual value after depreciation.. it is sold on its chav appeal and will be thrashed beyond its lifetime... same with the Spanish salami..
     
    I have *EVERY IDEA* why the GT86 blasts the comparos on brakes, agility...
     
    .... pity they don't quantify the "...fun factor.." ... oh, and the FERWD "..learning curve..", which is foreign to every indiginous Brit under the age of 45, 'cos they were taugh, trialled, tested and trapped into the FWD brainwashing which Sir Alec Issigonis perpetrated..
