Love that it is so good on fuel (NA Automagic)
Love the driving position and how comfortable it is to drive long distances.
Love the fact I have no heavy as hell clutch to worry about in peak hour traffic.
Love that it looks fast so have people trying to race you at lights and you take of like a grandpa, you then pass them further up the road and wave as they have been pulled over for speeding.

I love everything, except for everyone without a clue thinking they're a Celica and how you'll get stock standard VS Commodore drivers thinking they can smash you.

I always leave my lights up, its hilarious. They are like "do you realise your lights are up, it looks silly" and i'm like "Yep, Popups are Epic even in Day light :)"

Hate the stock headlights..with a passion. Dislike the mirrors, front bar, lack of rear flared quarters, fuel door and side markers..love everything else.
edit: oh, and the name (midship runabout) sounds like it should have an outboard on the back.. must admit tho, keeps 'em intrigued when they see it.

i have owned a 4age aw11, ae86 and an ae82.... let me say that an ae82 is FAR better than an ae86 on streets. ae82 you can just accelerate hard in tight places while ae86 would oversteer into parked cars. FF>FR... but MR= best i own an ae86 trueno, thats why i criticise them so much ;) ... really good reliable car, but they cant turn corners for poo poo... oversteer and understeer everywhere... while my old ae82 and integra type R were far better.... but i am and always will be a mid engined driver, you wont catch me dead in a front engined car.... anyways, FF and FR are both poo poo, no point in argueing which is ****er... i mean its like saying russia is better than sudan... both freaking suck anyway. although dont listen to me, i havnt driven a car for about two years now.

I love the go kart handling I love the 80's "designed with a ruler" styling I love the high revving nature of the 4AGE I love the raw feeling in the steering I love the pop up lights and their animatronic charisma I love watching higher powered cars fall behind on twisty roads. I love the AW11

Pop-up headlights
True sports car shape (not based on a economy lancer or imprezza)
3SGTE FOR LIFE! (from the Jap era of turbocharged 4 bangers - glory days)
Handles nicely (I like how it requires respect - not 4wd easy)
Shape is close to timeless (like the FD RX7)
Like Senol. I think I'm gonna chuck an Eric Bana & keep this as my forever BEAST (even though it'll prolly be pretty sub standard in future)

the shape is what got me for sure plus being mid engined (mind you i had no idea of the consequences)
also love how you can drive next to any other car and they do a double take when they hear the turbo spool cause it kinda amplifies the sound when your near another car
