Hachi as daily driver

my experience so far with my ae86 is...

Beautiful handling.. mine really makes me feel like I'm in a race car on a video game.

Pretty good power, my SR5 4AC is rated at 70hp but power to weight ratio helps alot. I havent gone past 65mph but I can feel that it can go over 100 no problem. My car had vacume lines all in incorrect locations, carb needs rebuild, emissions messed up, ect. still got close to 15mpg. To me gas milage depends on the driver (with manual tranny mostly). My 1986 CRX DX was said to get 30-35mpg in the books but i managed 46mpg on a 400 mile round trip.

Back seat.... well I've owned 14 cars... most being coupes as this one has plenty of space behind the back seat for legroom. I'm over 6' tall and with my seat in its correct position i can still sit directly behind the drivers seat without major complaints.

Cargo space= Awsome, ofcourse its a hatch, most hatchbacks do have plenty of space.

Drivers seats... I wouldnt know mine came with MR2 (1stgen) seats which are awsome I love them.

Road noise. Mine has alot, rear end makes a whining noise, possibly driveshaft or bearings. Springs squeak, engine is average. I've got a noise one lol..... Parts in USA getting more rare but searching yields cheap parts, I paid 12 bucks for a complete dash/bezel/switches/ac vents/clock, 5 bucks center consol, 2 bucks headliner and misc peices. They have a sale at my junkyard on Jan 1, complete engine for 50 bucks.. im gonna get the 4ac from it on that date lol.
