the BRZ/86 is a sharp car. i wouldnt say quality is more refined at all..... just newer with more features as the target the every day owner. sat nav, this and that.
the build quality of a honda s2000 from new is ridiculous. everything just work perfect.
they are easy to work on, easy to service, easy to change stuff like spark plugs, and you can basically get to most things on an s2k with little effort. were built for a purpose.... for someone who wants a raw performance car with blinkers.
there is not doubt the 86 drive nice - it does... its more comfortable because they kept in mind that the audience that they were targeting is so wide.... (old and young, someone who wants a sporty car feeling but still nice to drive. safe to drive.... easy to drive.
when they built the s2k... they must have said... lets make something that suits someone chasing the ultimate performace road car.
Its raw.... no features to distract the drive (sat nav, heated seats, cup holders(not meant to eat while sliding) nothing. from 99-05 you dont even get traction control. you get 2 fkn seats, 3 peddles and a gear stick.
you know why??? because when you get in a nice S..... thats all you need.... you dont need all the other shit... 1 mistake and it will bite your head off... its for someone who wants to drive... and only drive.
so if you want comfort and some practicality... a nice quiet ride.... nice looking ride.... something where power isnt any importance to you... get the 86. gorgeous looking car (they are everywhere but they are nice)
if you want to be on the edge of your seat when you throw a car into a corner... n hear an engine scream at 9k rpm.... get a s2....
if you wanna smash 98% of cars on the road and still want a rush but comfort.... get a GTR35....
peace! lol
