The Toyota GR86 is the best drivers car on sale that you can't actually buy ! The Toyota GT86 had a reputation as a great drivers car. The GR86 has more power and importantly more torque from a larger 4 cylinder boxer engine. All going through a 6 speed manual gearbox and rear wheel drive.
A week with the car turned out to be a huge amount of fun. With European regulations changing in 2024 this car is on limited time. Only 430 units are coming to the UK and they sold out in just 90 minutes !

I actually went to Toyota 3 weeks ago to buy my first car ever. Ordered a GR86. They told me I have towait about 6 months to a year. Not gonna lie, I am totally ok with waiting that much if it means getting this amazing car.

@PetrolPed Год назад

Wow 😮

@ianwilhelmsen7644 Год назад

I ordered the then new GT86 in 2012 and had to wait 6 months for it. I spent that time on forums discussing this new model and Toyota gave me access to their site where I could follow when it actually went on the assembly line and finally when it was put on the ship for Australia. I could follow the ship online and see when it birthed in Brisbane and subsequently transported to my home town. This made the wait very exciting. I now have 150,000 kms on it after 10 years and have had many exciting adventures and still enjoy the drive.

Great review Pete, if Toyota can make a car like this then why can’t other manufacturers. There would be a massive market for this type of “drivers” car (hate that phrase by the way!) but they all seem to be obsessed with EV’s and touchscreens and too many driver aids and then the car ends up weighing almost as much as a house!!! Happy New Year to you, Mrs PP and a the petrol pups 🎉🎉🎉

@sandersson2813 Год назад

I also hate that term. It's as if someone commuting from the office views themselves as a better driver when they're simply driving a car which is frankly a bit of a fake performance, pretend sports car.

@lyfandeth Год назад

When Subaru went looking for engines to license, only VWG would license the boxer engine from the VW, which was crap. Over the next 30 years Subaru made a lot of changes Toyota partnered with them because Toyota was trying to build a modern AE86 GT-S, and the boxer offered a lower center of gravity for drifting. No one else can license the low slung boxer engine, so no one else can copy the low center of gravity, which keeps it very stable while very nimble. Underpowered, but magnificently balanced.

@Rob165x Год назад

@@sandersson2813I think you’re looking at it the wrong way. Driver’s car just means it’s driver-focused first, while the comforts and appliance nature of cars is second. Toyota are more often than not appliances, they’re kinda boring (if you exclude stuff from the 90s and early 2Ks). This car doesn’t have great NVH (noise/vibration/harshness). It’s definitely a driver’s car because comfort and tech isn’t why you buy this, or for it to be a commuter car (it’s not bad, but a mustang is miles better in comfort). The driver has nothing to do with it.

@sandersson2813 Год назад

@@Rob165x I think you're missing the point as to what the vast majority of cars are bought for, and that is going places. People shouldn't be buying a car with the anticipation they are using the roads like they are on a Finnish rally section.

@80six30 Год назад

Great review Pete and everything you commented on is exactly true . I actually just purchased one here in Australia a week ago , after originally going into an adjoining Honda dealership to test drive an FL5 CTR . After meandering through The Toyota forecourt, I spotted a little red GT spec GR86. Cloths seats,17 inch wheels and a little less safety tech , I was tempted into a quick test drive. 20 minutes later I was trading my 2019 FK8 CTR , signing paperwork like a wildman and driving home in one of the best drivers cars on sale ( previous Honda included) with an awesome sports car and $15,000 in my bank account to boot. Win win I’d say.😁

@Rob165x Год назад

Had mines for over a year now (8.4K miles) and I ring it out at every U-turn. It’s my first manual and I feel like a pro driving this thing. Most smiles per dollar. And yeah, the primacy’s in the rain will slip if you even think of pressing the pedal too hard. I’m thinking of getting a Pedal commander to adjust the throttle response and linearity cuz it’s too sensitive on touch but kinda lazy when you really gas it. I’m going to get some Continental Extreme Contact or P4S when I buy some rims, for now I’ll enjoy sliding like mad.

@Marmf1 Год назад

Hi I am from Canada and I’m one of the very fortunate one to have the privilege of owning one of these rare cars: GR86 MT 6 speed in silver. A real head turner!!! I receive thumbs up on the road all the time…even from people with much costlier/sportier cars… My GR86 is suuuuch a blast to drive that I find excuses to hit the road even for silly reasons. Really by far the most fun car I’ve ever owned as it is so visceral and it makes you feel real connected to the road (and I had Golf GTI, Civic SI, BMW M2 among others). Not perfect, a bit noisy, could use 25-50 more bhp but Ô boy is it a treat on twisty roads. Anyway, future collectors car. Prices are already starting to significantly increase on the used market. A real gem (beautiful, fun, reliable) and a keeper.

@PetrolPed Год назад

@tone3560 Год назад

Your roads are not twisty enough to be wanting more power

@Marmf1 Год назад

@Tone We have plenty of twisties in the back country and mountains area around here. And wanting more power or not is entirely a subjective and personal thing. I would like more power to get slightly better acceleration. I don’t want to turn this car into a dragster (which it was not meant to be and will never become anyway) but a slight bump of 25-50 bhp in power would be welcome. It is 100% my POV as a GR86 owner. And, interestingly the vast majority of GR86’ owners tend to agree as per forums. That should lower the 0-100km/h (0-62 mph) in the 5 sec ballpark or very close to it i.e. lower 5 sec…

@tone3560 Год назад

@@Marmf1 Doesn't matter the power threshold you will always get used to the power you have and want more...its a disease. People gotta modify shit and make more power...

@philipparkes5682 Год назад

Hi Ped Just got round to this video, another great watch. Took me back to the 70’s when I bought a new Celica ST. From memory big on understeer, did not inspire confidence, and when the back end finally let go it resulted in an uncontrollable 180 to 369. Build quality not bad, but dealer not up to the mark, taking over 3 months to sort intermittent fuel starvation problems. Chopped it in for Fiat 124 Coupe, fabulous twin cam engine, handling for a 2+2 fantastic. Such a shame that Toyota have taken so long to produce a “drivers” car that will be denied to so many.😥

@DavidHender-cj7vm Год назад

I went for a paddle shift auto in Ice Silver, which might seem strange for such a vehicle as a GR86. But, not only is it cheaper insurance but it has a really good gearbox, better than the manual that was reviewed on another channel (the guy went from front to back and had it on a ramp too). It was all to do with the 4th gear, which has a different and far better synchromesh than the other forward gears. I am a driver who notices everything when driving and the change in gear would have cheesed me off. On top of that, I had a Porsche Cayman that had a DRK gearbox and a paddle shift; it was exhilarating and so sweet. My Grrrr86, already named Gabriella after my late partner, will be just as enjoyable

Picked up my new GTS GR86 after waiting about 8 months here in Australia. My one complaint is that unlike my 2017 86 my new GR 86 doesn’t have satellite navigation. Apple car play was long overdue but the only maps you have is those maps on your phone. This means whenever I am out of mobile phone range, which is very regular where I live, I don’t have any sat navigation ability. I bought this car for long drives in the rural countryside in Victoria exploring coffee shops and winery’s and generally enjoying life. So after spending over $50k on my new car I need to shop for an aftermarket sat nav. Such a shame Toyota. Apparently the BRZ does have sat nav as does my sones 11 year old Suzuki swift sport. Such a cheap and basic feature left off the Toyota requirement list.

I love sports car with a quirk such as the naturally aspirated Boxster engine coupled onto a manual tranny, giving it more power is the icing on the cake.

Only 430, if Porsche had a 430 run made of a light weight 911, it would be flipped at twice the RRP, don’t hesitate if you missed the 90 minute slot, Electric blue is stunning if you get a chance, they are £31k RRP in manual, so what’s £5k, they won’t lose value, you could always buy a mass produced hot hatch for £36k, let’s see what’s left of your spend in 5 years time, 50% if your lucky.

I know your very good with facts Peter but just one thing I don't like to sound critical but there is a Subaru equivalent in other parts of the world but they decided not to bring to Europe or I should say at least to the UK. Have a great Christmas 🎄 and as usual keep up the great work your one of the best you tubers 👍

Thanks Nick. Yeah I should have been more clear with that 👍

I agree about the brakes…they aren’t as effective as I would expect for a sport’s car.

Hi Peter. A very Merry Christmas to you, Tracy, and the pups. (D'Arcy and Halle?). Have a great New Year and enjoy your well deserved holiday.

@PetrolPed Год назад

Same to you!

I was all set to try and get one of these, such a pity they aren't making enough. The silver lining, I managed to get a GR Yaris - no regrets. I'm planning to be buried in it.

@jb1schoolofmotoring Год назад

I think you're correct, if it had a turbo it would just be an Impreza with a different cost on. It would also need 4wd to handle the extra power. Good looking jam jar though! 💪😎

@relentlesspursuit6894 Год назад

It needed the G16E from the GR Yaris and AWD - problem would be then that it would over shadow the Supra. Its the entry level GR product so corners had to be cut to keep it as such

@klinkske Год назад

Funny. Low on electric gizmos, that is the best thing of it. My turbo miata even does not have steering assistance, airbags, abs or whatever. That, is called a car. I even put it on small wheels for max perversity. I can do drifts everywhere way below the speedlimit. That is why i own it for 25 years too. Wish i could afford a gr86

@leom8605 4 месяца назад

I just reserved one, it's used but like new with only 800 miles mileage and was owned by Toyota and used for test driving and showing purpose only.

Nice ride and I’m a big Toyota fan too Pete !! I really like the simple layout, but prob and age thing 😂 I remember working at a Toyota dealer in the hay days of late 80’s early 90’s Supras , MR2 and Celicas !!! Had a lot of fun ripping them around in my teens 👍🏻

Great review Pete, although I'm not convinced by the GT86, well under powered, no tech and for £30k I'd rather have a Megane RS , if I was looking for a hot hatch drivers car.

Among the last 'real' cars you could have bought new... and just the medicine for somebody who grew up on V6 Capris [like me :)] Are the seats Alcantara - which is even better news if they are.

@GRfourfun Год назад

Great review mate, looks very tail happy which is always lots of fun when you’re competent driver. I had a Lexus ISF before my current car a GR Yaris and I loved switching it all off and letting the lsd do it’s thing. Quiet/open/remote junctions were so much fun, although I’m absolutely in love with the GR, it’s pace no matter what the weather is incredible.

@warboyrb 9 месяцев назад

GR Yaris is also best with all the nannies off - it actually communicates nicely, not just doing odd brake applications because ESC thinks it needs it.

Toyota are not silly. With a model selling out in 90 minutes im betting there is a department creating a final edition or some special

@1carusjohn32 Год назад

Just found this review. As a gt86 owner its kinda wierd with all the low power comments it got that you are having most fun in this safely drifting it about at low speeds. Don't get me wrong, the extra power in the GR is literally going to be a blast, but in truth the GT will deliver about 95% of the fun as the GR. With regard to sidewiseness, in winter I have had the GT sideways on a dual caridgeway at the side of an HGV after simply pulling out from behind it in wet and low temperature conditions. The skinny Primacy tires are just lethal in the lowly powered sibling... since those experiences I run it on cross climates which allows for an absolute blast in British winters and fiendishly capable in the snow compared to anything running summer tyres. If I had a GR, winter/cross climates would be my first choice mod simply to keep it on the road. In terms of handling, how did you think it handled when not blipping the accelerator to stick the back end out?

@OmegaWeaponR Год назад

I have to say having owned a gt86 for over 5 years, the GR is an improvement in every conceivable way. There is now useful low end grunt while retaining power at the top of the rev range. A bonus is the fuel economy seems about the same :)
