I always love your videos! You are the first auto reviewer that understands what the GR86 and BRZ were made for…..handling. Pretty much every review I’ve read or watched people always complain that it doesn’t have mega horsepower. Same people driving a Miata and they love it despite it not having much horsepower either. People don’t seem to get that the GR86 and BRZ are meant to be like the Miata, quick though the turns but not a drag race car.

Like honestly, it makes no sense when EVENTUALLY like the GT86 there's gonna be a bunch of aftermarket parts to make it faster especially the Turbo kits which is for the HP obsessed car enthusiasts to make more power. Or if you're crazy enough just engine swap it.

Very nice, love your enthusiasm for manual’s

I've had this car for a month (premium), and while the auto has all security features, the fact that the manual premium has blind spot detection is plenty enough for me. It's the main reason why I wanted the premium manual over the base.

That sounds lovely.

Personally, i prefer Subaru BRZ over Toyota GR86. Especially in my country. While BRZ is also offered with base trim for both transmission, the GR86 is priced 9million won much more expensive because Toyota in my country decided to add-in extra bodykit, a "GR" exhaust, and car window gutter (im not sure if i used the correct term for it). If it were me and i believe most of the buyers would love to get the base trim and mod it, instead of buying it with bodykit.

Alas, sports cars are a dying breed as everyone is focused on electric/hybrid SUV these days. But if you can’t afford a Supra, this GR86 is the next best thing.

Right now, there are no Korean competitors in the market for this. Such a well priced, fun option for people. Makes me miss my old Genesis Coupe with the 6 speed! Sigh....
