86GT aka GT86 aka FRS aka BRZ are all the same, other than different spring rates.

(The Subaru is the smoothest while also the fastest. I have heard the Subaru to Toyota build ratio is 1 to 9.)

I drove the scion version BEFORE they started putting post 1996 radios in. It was nifty, but WOW is it a slug. It felt fast, I tore off onto the road, ripped into second, thought I was doing 70, and I was approaching the 40 MPH speed limit.

It has the sensation of speed, but is dreadfully slow. My Insights legitimately feel faster in actual performance, if you get what I mean. Good concept, but for that money, ride quality, ride height, and mileage, it is a non starter. I'd get a Miata before it, but even if it was the same price as a Mustang- I'd get the Stang first.
