It should prove to be decision time for enthusiasts if the FT-86 is only offered with the 160-200HP EJ20 2.0L engine and the Subie offers the EJ25 2.5L engine that’s expected to produce between 240–250HP.
There may or may not be room for the EJ25 turbocharged engine producing close to 300HP, or the robustness of the drivetrain to handle that under warranty.
I'd rank the following price/power points as to what I might pay (including considering the higher insurance & maintenance costs on the more potent engines):
#1 choice - Subaru 086A w/EJ25 $27K
#2 choice - Subaru 086A STi w/EJ25T $32K
#3 choice - Toyota FT-86 w/EJ20 $23K
#4 choice - Subaru 086A w/EJ20 $23K
