Is meme car really any good?

They don't know shit about cars, come on now

Define "good."

>>16096391
It handles better than the other corollas.
It's RWD so you can drift it.
It has a lot of engine swap options.

Honestly, it's like a heavy miata with a steel roof.

>>16096391
>macpherson struts
>solid rear axle
The only reason it's worthy of note is because it's RWD and light, other than that it's nothing special at all.
Miata is superior.

>>16096408
You forgot overpriced to the point where it's not funny anymore

>>16096420
Again, memes

>>16096408
>live rear axle
>like a miata

A Chevette isn't a better option for a cheap RWD and light car without meme price since it is mostly hated because its stock engine?

>>16096461
I don't think a chevette would have a large aftermarket fur performance parts, I don't know since I've never looked into it, just a hunch though.
It's not really a problem if you know how to fabricate at all, making coilovers or subframes from scratch isn't that hard desu.

>>16096391
Depends on what you mean by "good".
It's somewhat light and sporty, but at the end of the day it's just a Corolla that did c25k.
In my opinion it's not worth the meme tax, and if you were to buy one expecting it to outstrip every other car on the street then you would be sorely disappointed: remember, Dagumi won in spite of his 86, not because of it, even after it had been modified in every way possible.

>he thinks 86 is not THE fastest car

>>16096391
They simply don't make cars like that anymore or they just look like Miata/MR-S/Boxter. This car is below 1000 kg, well balanced, FR and it's also a coupe or 3-door hatch (the best most practical body type for a compact car. LSD as an option (unfortunately no trim has LSD as standard). Giant aftermarket.

>>16096455
>>16096411
It is an FR car with very short wheelbase, it is pretty much like Miata. Old Porsches even had solid rear and they handled just fine. Miata is a better grip car though.

>>16096411
>Miata is superior.
For driving (better suspension, the engine might be better I don't really know). AE 86 is a better car because of better body types.

In the end it's a great car if you can buy it domestically for adequate (for your country) money. Importing is much less appealing since you can get an S15 or something for the same money.

>>16096530
>When your shitty country has no pre 2000 RWD japanese little car

It is shit when the only reliable cheap car that i can buy here is a Fiat 125 or Chevette

It's good as long as you have reasonable expectations. It's not worth paying super weeb tax for.

>>16096408
how the hell is it heavy? it's like 2400 pounds

>>16096490
Didn't his ae86 also have a racing engine swap?

I thought you're talking about the Corvette at first. In any case, European AE86 is e30/e36 3 series coupe.

>>16096588
At some point, although we're never given the specs. Read more than once on /o/ that maximum for the 4age is like 250 hp.

I dont see it but you say that like its a bad thing.

It was a solid choice in Japan when you could buy a new one for a reasonable amount of money.

If you want to import an ancient meme in current year you can get better vehicles for the money. I'd personally spend the same money on an honest to god skyline that would get recognition and respect before a Toyota hatch that anime nerds would appreciate.

>it also looks very much like a fox body mustang

this i can agree with, but it isnt a bad thing either because fox body mustangs are best mustangs.

>>16096732
Is that a mustang?

>>16096736
it's obviously a ae86

>>16096755
Oh ok, looks like a mustang ;)

>>16096707
The american version of the T car was that shitty?

>>16096760
not really

>>16096391

The hachiroku is a good car, and everyone says miata miata miata but I'd take an AW11 over both of them.

>>16096918
It's more cramped that a miata and has a rear engine
[spoiler]i like it though[/spoiler]
