Yea i saw the seats, yet I still think its a good deal.
normal insurance
somewhat not gonna kill you maintenance/upkeep
dare I say decent fuel economy
3 pedal gated manual
mid engine
AWD
naturally aspirated 8000 rpm V8
low to mid 4 second range (which i know is not fast)
The thing is, is this car ever going to be a $60,000 -> 25 yr old 150,000KM car?

Definitely won’t lose much driving that for a few years if you kept up the maintenance.

I thought these didn’t handle all that well. Besides the clink clink of the shifter, I don’t recall people saying these were all that great to drive. Plus out of the box it’s not a great sounding exhaust. If you put in an extra 10-15k I’m sure it’ll sound a lot better
And there’s a reason you don’t see these anymore. Probably an arm and a leg in maintenance costs.

Eh... a V8 Vett gets like 12-15 combined while a Gr86 gets 10-11.
They make some shockingly efficient V8's with gobs of tq and gearing to get mad milage. https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Powe...=1&rowLimit=50 | |

FWIW I do expect the R8 to be more like 18 in the city, the good mileage would be on the highway.

I don't think the V8 in the R8 falls under the high torque camp, it's more of a high strung motor isn't it?

I've gotten better mileage in the 5.0 S550 than in the 5.7/6.4 "high torque" FCA motors; I think it's a couple factors
- OHC have less pumping losses and lower internal friction compared to pushrod
- Direct injection more efficient than the standard injection in the LS/HEMI motors

those don't even look too bad. Little clean up work and they're good to go. better than a shoddy repair attempt, or worse - a recover.
these V8 cars are absolute gems. quick and classy. There are lots of long term owners that have done very well w regards to maintenance (biggest thing seems to be suspension and I think we talked about it here already) WAY rather have this than a ratty lambo for 25-50k more (much more if you want a 3rd pedal)
i considered going all in on one, but would have had to sell the E36 also to do it.

^ That's a much better way to spend $100k if you have to choose between the 2... I drove a V8 R8 for about a week and didn't think much of it, pretty boring as far as V8 powered mid-engine cars go. Barebones interior, didn't sound good, wasn't very fast, didn't handle particularly well... I dunno maybe I missed something but it was super meh.

The V8 R8, iirc Tofu said they were kind of slow compared to what I drive. The 4.2 doesn't make a ton of power and the hype is all about the clinky shifter.

Just buy a Maserati, at least it sounds better going slow, and you have a Maserati key instead of Audi | |

How fast do you really need to go in Vancouver; 40 over limit, no real open highways, narrow streets ....

40 over limit... * laughing in impound fees *
There's lots of places to take fun trips to Mexico... at your own risk of course 
You do have a point though, I ask myself this question with the Supra every couple of days. Was never really much of a concern with any other car I owned.

Even the 5.0 stang felt too fast lol - prioritizing driving engagement / sound / experience is best for a van car

It's not that hard, just get a few friends with walkie talkies, then scout a section of road.
