GT86 - The dilemma
Discussion
Hey guys,
I've been a lurker here for a long time but I'm at a point now where I can start to find myself a new car and be rid of my terribly slow 1.2 clio. I have always loved jap sports cars and always dreamed of owning one.
I recently went out on a test drive of the GT86 which is a great car, it's quick, handles like a dream and sounds great. After the test drive however, I was trying to gauge how I felt about the GT86, to my surprise I came to the conclusion that I actually didn't like it that much. Sure it's a fun car but I felt like it was missing something.
My clio is very very slow but in the corners it doesn't need a lot of speed for it to be playful and slide a little. I was taking corners in the GT at 50-60 and they felt like I was taking them at about 20. I'm now very confused about which car or type of car I'm looking for. Essentially, I want something that misbehaves very easily, accelerates quick and is a challenge to drive even at lower speeds.
Any recommendations or help?

Hey guys,
I did have the driving aids on, mainly because I could tell the guy from the dealership was getting scared... We did hit 110mph at one point! Kudos to him for letting me get there.
Thanks for all your suggestions, the mx5, mr2 and bmw seem like good suggestions. The mini however sounds amazing but not ideal for the amount of motorway driving I do haha. I do about 2k a month.
So I need to look for old with little safety features that are fast!
Let's just not tell my ma'
