    Motor Trend Best Driver Car 2012

    See Randy Pobst race car notes for Laguna Seca re: Motor Trend Best Driver's Car 2012. Read further below for all the notes on BRZ handling. Toyota FT86 didn't make cut.

    See link with note & video:

    Subaru BRZ, Lamborghini Aventador, Jaguar XKR-S: 2012 Best Driver

    More on tyres later.

    Cheers.

    I always like WJ's posts, they provide useful information and knowledge in suspension and handling. I appreciate the time and efforts WJ makes here and on golfmk5 forum as early as in 2009:

    WHITE JAMES: Suspension & Wheel Reviews - VW GTI Forum / VW Rabbit Forum / VW R32 Forum / VW Golf Forum - Golfmkv.com

    I have not seen anyone else as passionate as him on suspension and handling in this forum / vwgolf.net.au / etc..

    So, please respect people

    I dont understand the comparison either. they couldnt be more different cars. one is a practical 5 door hatchback which goes and handles reasonably well. other an impractical 2 door coupe without a boot to speak off but is very reasonably priced and goes and handles well but is a toyota !

    but really WJ is entitled to compare any two cars he likes. heck with my golf gti lease coming up been looking at all sort of cars ...even cardigan wearing honda accord euro and mazda 6's hehe horses for courses as they say
    Once had a Red mk6 GTI + DSG + leather + sunroof + mdi + towbar

    now have a gorgeous Red Merc A250 AMG Sport

    Agreed the 86 vs GTI/R discussion might be a bit bias on a VW forum nut it's still great to read WJ's threads minus all the keyboard heros that love to drop in replies every 2-3 posts
