The 86 is fairly snug, if I'm honest. Seats are not as tight as the Recaros but they are a fantastic seat. In fact I'd say they are second only to the Recaros in my favourite sport seats I've sat in (and I've been in a fair few). As you probably know I'm not the biggest of guys, so probably not the best person to judge interior space as everything feels huge to me
. The driving position is brilliant though, arse on the floor and legs out in front of you. Massively better than the Clio IMO.
Would I buy one.... hmmmm. I'm honestly not sure. I would find it hard to justify the new price tag considering its competition. I absolutely LOVE the looks of them, and when they're subtly modded they look epic. I will say though, that in a couple of years if the opportunity arose for a 2year old GT86 or a 2year old Megane for similar prices I'd have the 86... just. The only reason would be because I've already had the Clio, and I'd really like a RWD car next. Also the 86 would still have 3years warranty left, which is a big plus.
Right now, I'm going to have to wait a couple of years before I have the need/money to buy a new car, and so who knows where I'll be by that point. I could need a 5dr (*cough cough*, Clio 200t or Focus ST), or I could be still in the market for something sporty
Although, I would actually have a BRZ in mica blue if given the choice
