Could be preferable, X4 is the worst riding car I've ever been in. Fidgets and finds bumps in totally smooth roads and is vomit inducing on NSL country roads thanks to "sporty" suspension.

Jeez and I thought my Celica GT was bad with 190HP and a big wing... That thing has about the same power/weight, and an even bigger one! :eek:

Maybe, but the GT86 is actually a good car. Genuinely sporty.

form over function! I guess it's a great base for FI.

Nowt wrong with a gen 7 Celica, especially the GT (better suspension) - And mine had an LSD from an MR2. One of the only good things about it.

Was definitely sporty. It was a shed with stripes.

still rubbish, cut springs don't make it sporty acme

The celica isnt rwd though so it doesnt need the downforce

They're...odd. I really struggled to get used to the power which is very much off/on. Barely used the brakes!

I tend to go in with a limp now and ask for an auto - the last 3 times I've managed to get a nice 640D.

I would quite like to drive an i3. Just to try it.

That wing is ludicrous! Guess you know it's a bit marmite. Shame they're not fast like a Supra.

Turbo kits are cheap and a lot of the companies will fit the kit for you free of charge, seen some do maps on the ECU. But probably best to go on a dyno anyways...
