They're not as great as everyone makes them out to be. Half the people I've seen with AE86's are unable to control them. They change directions very fast, and although the behavior is predictable you will need to get used to guessing what the car is going to do next and reacting to before it happens. It will probably scare the shit out of you in the rain, and very few people are going to recognize what kind of car it is on the road. Also I hope you have a good bit of money saved up, because they seem to need constant repairs.
