Tough one... Can I say both? Still love the older JDM stuff, and I always grin at the site of an old Hachi-Roku going past, but a GT86 drove past me the other day and my neck nearly snapped off as I followed it...

id have to say ae86 bud.. for some reason i feel older cars are more sexy than the newer cars that are out there imo
Has anyone in this thread driven either car? Have you ever driven an ae86 to its limits I'd doubt it? I also doubt you've driven a gt86 so a bit early deciding which to pick imo.The ae86 is an iconic car the gt 86 has HUGE boots to fill maybe this question should be asked in another decade lol. The gt 86 is a wee bit girly too but look well slammed with nice rims also fit a rocket bunny kit nice wheels and get rid of the lexus lights your on a winner.

Goin on just aesthetics as ive not driven either, id have to say a well stanced ae86 over the standard gt. Ive not seen a gt86 on the road yet tho, may be a different story in the metal.

If I could walk into a showroom tomorrow and buy either a brand new AE86 or GT86, I wouldn't even give the GT86 a second glance. IMO the 16v 4A-GE is one of the best engines ever made and if I wanted a car with a Subaru engine in it, I'd buy a Subaru. Obviously a brand new AE86 isn't an option so as a daily driver the GT86 would make more sense, but even still I'd rather spend good money on a tidy original AE86 to use as a weekend toy and drive something cheap and boring everyday.
I've driven a few GT86's although not out on the open road and I'll probably sound like an old fart saying so, but they just don't make them like they used to.

I work at a Toyota garage.in my opinion the gt86 is rubbish...il let you into a bit of a secret,the engine is that quiet and the exhausts
Are quiet that there is a air pipe coming off the intake that is directed and ends up behind the dashboard do that it feels and sounds alot more sporty....I was very disappointed when I took it out for a test drive,acceleration is not great but I imagine the top speed will be ok! Give me
An ae86 any day...the new gt86 is all show no go

I got told by chelmsford Toyota that the TRD GT86 wasnt real and was not even in the prototype stages yet haha made me laugh how a dealership could be so missinformed

good point.
If you are looking for comfort and/or performance there are far cheaper cars that will deliver above and beyond. But you know there are people out there who get so fascinated by the idea of owning a car that price becomes less of an issue for them (my Glanza cost me 11,500 euro *puke*)
