[tivo1]

Umm.... how can you compare those? Completely different in terms of price.

You can buy 4 sportivos for the price of 1 86 lol

[david.]

so what's your price range...as above, you're comparing a $10,000 car with a $15,000 car with a $40,000 car

Also 2 ~10-year-old hot hatchbacks to a brand new 2-door coupe...

Ive got the money but im just mixed up the thing is i want sportivo is because it screams and the ep3 its nearly the fastest n/a and i just want to know if the 86 is better than them

By performance and if the scream by cai i know i sound complicated sorry

Better is such a broad term. List the 5 things to you that are important that your car must have.

"Nearly the fastest N/A" what? EP3's (and Sportivos too) are "quick", but they are not anywhere near fast (ie EP3s only run ~6.5s 0-100 times and 15s 1/4 mile, which is barely faster than a current model Falcon).

None of those cars you buy for performance alone. The Sportivo and EP3 you buy because they are a fun revvy hot-hatch that you can chuck around mountain corners on the weekend and drive the kids to school on the Monday and do the shopping run in, and the 86 is a car much like an MX5 in which it is a beautiful chassis crying out for more power - it is also fun to drive but by no means "fast"

So u reckon a tivo can rip a 86

"Rip" how? Straight line? Corners? Track? Sounds like all you care about is how fast something is, so why not just go buy a Supra/Skyline/WRX/SS and be done with it?

Like Andrew said, what are you ACTUALLY looking for in a new car? Create a list (more than just one line "performance"), prioritise on that list what you really want and what you are willing to give up, add in price range, and THEN start comparing cars.

Otherwise you just look like this

"What advantages does this motor car have over say....a train? Which I could also afford"
