I don't think the problem has anything to do with exposed cupholders. It's more the fisher-price plastic liberally used all over the interior, which includes the cupholders.
Also, it feels like they just stuck something in there with a couple cup-sized holes rather than integrating the cupholder into the center armrest.

I hate that interior. I was really looking forward to this car, but if thats the actual interior, its a huge turn off. Id gladly pay about $1-2k extra for a better interior.

looking at the interior again, I'm 99% sure thats not gonna be it.
Starting with the steering wheel, I'm sure toyota would have put buttons on there...
no symbols at all in the interior
and those seats seem to supportive for it to be stock, just saying.

Not bad to say that it trounces a Miata
Two very positive reviews so far.

But if you add more power to compensate then you’ll want a turbo and bigger stoppers too, and that adds weight, and, well – that’s where the downward spiral starts, right?
They destroyed the si it looks like.
First impressions seem to be great, I'm excited!
I wonder how they will compare this with the genesis coupe/mustang.
And all the other fwd hatchbacks.
Sure its weaker on power, but it may have enough power also.
Fun to drive>power (miata)
Only if it could accommodate 4 people nicely...
I dunno if I can see myself getting what is actually a 2 seater as a daily... thats something to be determined later though
Hmmm now does this thwart my love for the GTI definitely can't way to test drive this car

thats what happens when turbos are put into cars, tuning can increase power so easily!
I think these two cars have different purposes though.
The GTI goes for the best dd out there, while it seems to be the FT-86 is going for the fun factor.

Spotted one couple days ago, it looked sweet!
I highly recommend it to anyone who likes small fun cars with a turbo!

Just sayin'.
I think you'ld have lots of fun in the GTI with a stage 1 tune. The GTI is lighter than our Avant and has plenty of mods available for it.
Look ahead to what you'ld have at your disposal if you went with a GTI...

SO many OEM optional pieces from Europe and lots of aftermarket support too.

That just made so much sense.
Where's Honda? Acura? What are they doing right now?

To be fair Honda did make the S2000 which would probably be able to keep up with this. Unfortunately for me there was no coupe option..
#474
^ and cost at least 10K more than what this thing is going to be priced at.
#475
This will not be $20k I would say $7k more at most
#476
Also at that $23k base price it will be missing leather, xenons, and 40hp, I think the price would be closer with a few options.
