Anyone owned or had experience of them ? how reliable are they and where do they go wrong ? would be my daily . many difference betwen uk and jap models . Any help / info appreciated !! cheers :p
 
Well ever since my EK was stolen I've thought a lot about theft prevention. I wanted an AE86 too but heard that they're known to be easily "jiggle-key"-able, meaning someone can come up with an older Camry key or something and unlock it and start it right up. My friend had a coupe, which was nice, but has gone through three motors within a year. That's just one particular bad experience though, so because "it's a Toyota" it should be good, right? :p
