FR-S has a 6th gear.

Commentary:

One thing for sure the 86-87 Toyota AE86's held up better than the Nissans. The Nissans tended to turn into flexy rattle boxes after a lot of hard driving.

How will these Toyota/Subaru's will hold up as far as long term durability ?
im thinking you never owned an 86 corolla
