they are actually very similar. These are the advan a3a’s. I personally like the a3a version better because of its simplicity. Guess everyone has their own taste

Welcome. Feels kinda comforting to see a fellow 86 guy here!! Were u on club4ag??

I too am from s chassis (sold) and 86 background (1986 gts coupe)
I’m sure something about these cars attract us to this car the way we are attracted to 86’s. I know other fit owned are fans of the 86 too.

I love the idea of the 86, lightweight rear drive car .. But I've never gotten around to really educating myself. What's the difference between the hatchback and fastback? Were they sold at the same time?

Theres an SR5 model and a GT-S model both on the coupe and hatchback in the United States. GTS model is the one your gonna want since it has the twin cam 4AGE motor with rear disk brakes. Few other stuff as well like same color bumpers and much more comfy interior.
