1.5, 120bhp, RWD?

doesnt really sell it to me, RWD needs a bigger engine with a smidge more power i think.

True, but this is the NEW AE86, it needs to compete with other cars similar to itself in the market

hyundai coupe

I take it you have never driven an MX-5 then?

Low power, huge fun.

I think they got their engine codes messed up!!

2NZ-FE is the old 1.3 yaris engine (86bhp)

1NZ-FE is the old 1.5 yaris engine (103bhp)

wonder where the 120bhp comes from? turbo

[Moffmo]

It would be 2NZ-FTE if it was a turbo?
