Toyota GR86 Review: This car is SO good, you can't buy it!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Introducing one of the BEST cars Mat’s reviewed this year - the Toyota GR86!
That’s right, Mat’s got his hands on Toyota’s latest pocket rocket and he’s about to find out if it lives up to the considerable hype that comes associated with it!
And when it comes to looks, it’s fair to say it more than meets expectations! Around the back, it comes with a cool ducktail spoiler along with two 100% real exhaust pipes! Up front, there are a number of vents to give it a bit of an aggressive look, and thankfully, none of them are fake!
Take a step inside and you’re greeted with a nice interior. There’s a mix of good quality materials and plastic throughout the cabin, and thankfully there are a number of physical controls for features such as climate control. The infotainment system isn’t all that great, but when it comes with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, does it really matter?!
But of course, if you’re interested in this car you don’t care about the interior… You care about the engine! Under the bonnet, you’ll find a 2.4-litre 4-cylinder engine that delivers 234hp and 250Nm of torque to the rear wheels. It also comes with a limited-slip differential on the rear axle, too!
All sounds pretty impressive, doesn’t it? There’s a catch though… Only 1,000 units are coming to the UK, and they’re all sold out already!
So the question is, is the new GR86 better than other GR-powered Toyotas such as the GR Yaris or Supra? You’ll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself!

    I picked my GR86 up today, traded in my 3.0 GR Supra. I thought I'd have some regrets, but after a 150 mile drive home all at low RPM (cause it's gotta be run in), so far I don't have a single regret. It was always going to be down on power, but almost everywhere else it feels like an upgrade. Safe to say, I'm in complete agreement with you Mat. I'm blown away by how good it is, and feel very lucky to be one of the ~400 who get to drive one every day.

    Good car, good price, currently 4 cars on autotrader, with a buyers premium around 20-30% over list, based on supply and demand, and Mat says, they are all sold out. Don't know why Toyota are sending so few. £29,995 seems a pretty good price, good amount of car for the money. I would buy one of these. Makes a change from so many car releases with super very high crazy prices.

    Great review Mat, as always. I bought the sister car, the Subaru BRZ, in January this year and it's been brilliant. I live in Dubai, and they only sell the Subaru version. No GR86 for some reason. I'm just pleased I've been able to buy a future piece of automotive history. I know there are slight differences between the BRZ and the GR86, but I totally agree with your points on the interior, engine, handling, etc. Would love you to review the auto version of the BRZ if you ever get the chance. Keep up the great work!

    3 things I've learned from driving my GR86 in Canada for a year: 1. Half of the road noise comes from the PS4 tires. Change them, and it's totally fine. 2. It does amazingly well in the wet and in the snow. I genuinely enjoy the car more in winter. 3. Around town, the car has a clear lack of lowend torque. But on backroads, you will not want to be in a different car.

    @Valen-mh9fh Yes I've driven a GT86, although only on the road. I'm afraid the GT86 is the only car Chris Harris and I disagree on. I found it to be dry. The lack of enthusiasm from the engine dampened every part of the experience for me. I wanted to love it, but I couldn't. I also felt like the chassis rigidity let the car down, it would mimic settling onto a rear tyre, but that wouldn't naturally progress into a slide. The new car is far closer to the original AE86. There's nothing fake about the way the car transitions to a slide and nothing frightening either. It's the antidote to modern over tyred drivers cars in a way the GT86 wanted to be, but for me wasn't.
