@Daniel-dg3np Год назад

@@owenalp1977 The first gen car had 200hp claimed in the brochure but it's HIGHLY unlikely the engine made 200hp at the flywheel. The first ones made about 180hp flywheel (150whp) and the update made about 190hp at the flywheel (160whp), thanks to some intake/exhaust tweaks and a better ECU tune. The 2.4L makes about 25% more at the wheels compared to the updated 2.0L so it actually makes the claimed power.

@LeggyDogg Год назад

It's a shame they aren't doing a continuous production run in the UK like they did with the gt86. They make such incredible value sports cars second hand and I'm sad I'll likely never get the opportunity to upgrade from my gt86 to one of these given how few there are around

@magnustan841 Год назад

I think the hype will wear off after a while. Like I don’t hear much about GR Yaris anymore, cause everyone that wanted one has one, everyone who wanted to drive one, has driven one and raved about it, they’ve all been modified and now it’s just another sports hatch.

@kasplantje7277 Год назад

In the Netherlands we are going to get the same problem. The GT86 was great value i think is starting price new was somewhere around €35000. This GT86 is thanks to the emission taxes here is now €67000,- There is no way people are going to buy this car. So no second hand cars from new here. I think the ones that get here in time wil be imports. But thats a lot easier for us here than for you in the UK

@andyvalentine1243 Год назад

@@relentlesspursuit6894 I can assure you that the GR86 is a true upgrade on the GT86. In fact, it's nearly the perfect upgrade, apart from the UK used price is too high to make the upgrade from a late GT86 worth it.

@dominicrusho Год назад

So many of these journos/RU-vidrs need to go back and drive the GT86 - they’re brilliant. Yes, the GR has undoubtably improved things in quite a few areas but the fundamental driving experience is very similar. Given the fact the GR86 is unobtanium in the U.K. a nice used GT86 seems like phenomenal value for money

@Firleman Год назад

Sam, loved the video as always. Maybe it isn't like your normal video's but it was still really good. It was good in a different matter, it was honest. I think most of us don't know how difficult it is to be a youtuber. It just seems amazing etc. but it's actually hard work. And that is exactly what you showed us today: a day of honest hard work. I really appreciate what you are doing! With this youtube channel but also with the amazing podcast series of behind the glass. The drive home from work on thursday is so much better while listening to BTG. Also sundays are a great day usually because of your new vids. Test drive month is amazing so far!

@WightBear72 Год назад

Usually when I watch your videos, by the end, I want to go out and buy a new car. Your enthusiasm for whatever you are driving, and for the driving itself, is infectious. But... This might be the first video of yours that makes me think I don't want to get a new car and instead keep the one I have, because it embodies everything you identify as why the new GR86 is such a great car: Super light, RWD, 240hp, minimal luxuries (doesn't even have power seats), and just a freaking blast to drive. Thank you sir.

Sam, I watch the content for you mate. I ADORE your cinematics! They wow me every time! And it baffles me that you put as much effort as you do into getting these incredible shots! But we’re all human, we understand that it’s not ALWAYS possible. So as a struggling youtuber I completely understand your frustrations because I’m too harsh on myself too! But I watch your videos to hear your opinion on the car, and continue to watch it to see your personality shine on camera! I’m sorry that’s so cheesy, but I genuinely enjoy your videos just because it’s you 👍🏻 Don’t be too hard on yourself mate, it’s unnecessary stress 🤷🏻‍♂️ you’re doing great 😁👍🏻

@markkendall6854 Год назад

Love the video, I was lucky enough to get an order in & completed 7mins after the order books opened. It was delivered in December after a long wait and love it! It reminds me of my greatly missed series 1 Lotus Elise I had for a couple of years over 20 years ago, but had to sell to put towards a house purchase. The GR86 is all about ‘the feel’ & ‘fun’. It is the perfect compliment to my 2nd car, a R35 GT-R which I’ve owned for 10 years and would struggle to ever part with. A working man’s supercar… but stretching its legs on the roads is license worrying! Not so in the little old GR 😊

You broke it down to the purest essence of what we love about driving. Bravo. And yes this is an outstanding sports car that does not come with the anxiety and repair bills of many more expensive sports cars. Let’s home there’s still time for more….❤

Huge part of why Your videos are so good is You. Your perspective, thoughts, just chatting to us, viewers. And if sometimes everything is agaist you like traffic, weather, flocs of pigeons carpet bombing everything on the ground ;P , don't beat yourself and carry on, we will enjoy wathing your content enyways.

@Bmontepeque11 Год назад

The 86 is such a wonderful car, I remember that 718 Spyder video you made that says like "This is so disappointing, it can't be enjoyed pretty much anywhere :(" well, this is a car that you can enjoy pretty much EVERYWHERE, EVERYTIME. And on top of that it's affordable? This might just be the best sports car short of a 911 GT3. I love this car with every strand of my body, of my mind, of my heart, and of my soul ❤️ Yes, there are better cars, but what this offers at a reachable price for most people is unbelievable. And now thanks to the Gazoo Racing brand it feels so special ❤️

Canadian here. I just got my Trueno Blue GR86 AT6 Premium a few weeks ago. Being a bit of a geezer who had a 1986 MR2 for some dozen years in the Canadian Rockies I decided on getting another Toyota sports car. and this was it. I did no research, I just put in my order and got it 6 months later. I had prior experience with Subaru boxer engines having had 3 of them over a 17 year period and I drove them in the oil fields as my field vehicle, reliable wheels with no real issues, they got me there and back every time. The first few weeks have been a pleasure, I am now on the east coast and roads can be quite windy and hilly. since I received it I have been watching the reviews and they all sing a similar tune, a great zooming package without a lot of modern nonsense and weight that the European cars have for a fraction of the price. that said it actually has a real albeit small trunk that resembles a height limited hatchback when the back "seat" is folded down. I like your review, it is my impression exactly. The functions the AT6 has which are not available in the MT6 bring us into the present and does reduce the workload on a longer haul.

Your editing is amazing, but that's the last reason, so thank you for your intro, but it's not a bother. I worked in the UK, so It's still relatable about the roads, and here in Canada we do have a few roundabouts.
