I said "spartan" because excluding our USA friends most AE86 have no clima nor steering assistance nor power mirrors/windows nor leather interior.
We can find LSD in the list of "extras" and maybe power sunroof, nothing more.
And yes, AE86 is lightweight. All comparable cars like E30 iS weight up to 200 kilos more. That's why AE86 will outperform (IMHO) E30 318iS always, the BMW is good car but all these extras just add weight and that way all advantages like better brakes and more power from 1.8 engine are lost.
Talking about rust - how many AE86 rusted on floorpan or engine bay ? Excluding sills (sometimes) and rear arches+boot area - there is no serious problem with rust. IMHO E30 is not zinc-platted - maybe some body parts are but these cars rust also (unlike the famous AUDI 80 "egg-model" where zinc plating was used widely).
