I got to park my SW20 next to an 86 tonight on the way home from a good drive. It was quite interesting to stand there for a while and look at the aesthetic differences. Though I quite like the 86, it made me appreciate the SW20 even more – and appreciate how it looks a bit more like a European coupe than a Japanese one in comparison.
 
Shame I couldn't get better photos. There just wasn't enough light.

Test drive auto and manual. By far manual is much more enjoyable to drive.

Can't believe the price.

Quite tempting.

yes, still not as enjoyable as a normal manual. still have the auto feeling coming to a halt in traffic etc.
 
but that is my personal preference.

fair enoughh
still the best auto I've ever driven though. Having driven the auto one I'd actually consider it, whereas before I thought all autos were rubbish.

it's most definitely the best auto i've driven, and if i could only have an auto one, say for instance to keep the wife happy as she only has an auto licensce, then i'd still be happy driving it. 
 
but it's still an auto.

IMO reasons I see the manual having an advantage over the auto is launching and maybe clutch kicking it to get the tail out. 
however no manual driver can change gears in 0.2 sec though.

0.2 secs is a lifetime. VWs DSG changes in 0.04 secs. That's 5 times quicker

That may be the case, but at least you wont have to replace the box after 40k ;)
This tech is from a Lexus
These people saying toyota are scared of hyundai and other car manufactures have no idea.
Toyota's technology is tried and tested. These people should ask themselves why Toyota holds its value and others don't.
