I've had the 2022 Toyota GR86 for several months now and can honestly say I made the right choice going with this car. I've driven several of its competitors over the last few months including the Subaru BRZ, Ford Mustang, Dodge Challenger, Chevrolet Camaro, and Subaru WRX, but none of them compare to the Toyota GR86 in my opinion. This car is the perfect balance of price, styling, performance, and driver enjoyment. Here are 6 reasons you SHOULD buy the Toyota GR86.

Me too!!!! Difficult to have in Italy ,on 2022 they sent only 300 cars sold out in two days..all manual gear , I ordered the Gr 86 in Halo white colour at the end of last agost and the delivery for the moment will be on next 2023 September,but I have an appointment after half January to have more precise info about a real date of delivery ...

@@jubbalandcars I might be wrong on this (so take it with a grain of salt) but one of the reason as to why is it such a good car for training drivers is because Toyota took a look at EA86 and used those thing they learned along side with Keichi Tsuchiha (Drift King) experiences with the car and built it based on those. Keichi Tsuchiha is a famous Japanese race driver who own's an AE86 and loves it. He said it in an interview that driven the right way the EA*^ can train the driver.

Approaching the limits - perfect comment. One of the reasons I love my 2013 scion frs 10 series. It's like driving a toy everytime I get in it. Smiles and fun. And, it gets in the high 30's mpg on the highway. Also on reliability - I've had my car over 9 years and only one problem. I needed a new clutch after 5 years or 50K miles or so. That's it. NO other issues. I have 71K miles on the car now.

It may take a month or 2 to get comfortable with the basics but will be worth it to be in control of drivetrain and so satisfying when you get it correct. However being an expert is a life time of practice and that is the real reward. My 1st standard was a Fiero and it was 6 weeks of stalling or rolling back too much on hill start. Just be patient and practice as much as possible

@gtrjazz1 Год назад

I have owned three AE86 sprinters and Levins they did not need much more than 160hp to keep up with turbo cars on track as you could carry more speed into the corner and brakes held up well been light. So now a bit older looking forward to my GR86 which is now in build. It will be driven on road but still the odd track day. Will get a set of Rays and grippy tyres and a bit of negative camber on the front.

@thullraven1 so I would tend to agree with you. I've lived in the NE 35 years now and have the same mentality. It seems either its just a snow tires thing, or maybe it's that the 86/BRZ already has such skinny tires but a lot of people drive them thru the winter. The Topher on here has done it for a decade now, SavageGeese did it in Chicago, I chatted with a guy in Colorado that's been doing it for a few years now. It seems plausible and I'm considering it.

New upgraded motor is great but I no longer have any storage space, no satellite navigation and no spare wheel. Oh and I got the manual so missed out on some very key safety features only found in the automatic. I drive in rural areas all the time with no phone coverage so apple car play maps is useless to me. Found myself buying a map book for the first time in about 15 years and have to consider buying an aftermarket head unit for navigation. Really shocked by the downgrades in functionality Toyota.

If you get everything done by someone else I would say at least 2k$ maybe 2.5k$.
