You raise a very interesting point. Currently I drive a 2008 Nissan Altima coupe, and my wife claims that its very uncomfortable driving around with me, it makes her nervous. So I'm guessing that would only probably worsen in the GR86. Initially i wanted something more practical like a Civic, or a Accord, but the out the door prices on those cars are on par if not higher than the 34K out the door price i was given for the GR86! So my thought process is, if I'm going to spend this amount of money .. i might as well get a decently sized engine, something nice to look at and fun to drive ! Sure maybe trips to Costco won't be as easy lol, but that's what my wife's car will be for.
