We complain how modern cars are too sophisticated and a little too much, and when we do get a simple, feel good to drive car, people complain how there is no speed, power or is not sophisticated enough. Brilliant car this. Once toyota does stop the GT86, everyone is gonna be on their feet screaming how its the best thing in the world. Sounds familiar?

Why the fuck would any one think that looks like a supra

The GT86 actually has four traction control modes. The fourth one is sort of hidden. 1. On, default 2. Sports mode, sorta off but corrects a bit 3. "off", still corrects just a bit to keep you safe 4. Konami code mode, completely everything off To do the 4th one, you need to warm your engine to operating temperature. You then have to do a sequence of handbrake pulls and brake pedal pushes. I don't remember it off the top of my head, but you can google it by the "BRZ/GT86 handbrake dance" or something. After you are done, you start the car and now it is in fully unrestricted, all electronic helps off mode.

The GT86 is actually at the top of my dream car list, but a 3 liter(maybe arbitrary, but it should equate to a supposedly much "needed" 50% boost in power), 300 horsepower(again, arbitrary, but I feel like it's an incredibly solid amount for a car like this), horizontally-opposed six-cylinder(for a butter-smooth engine) version with an even 50/50 weight distribution(ideal for street driving and amateur track use) and 3,000 pound curb weight(a very reasonable number, especially with higher-grade materials) would be a force to be reckoned with, but still an absolute blast to drive! It would likely also put the average driver's torso/head in the dead center of the vehicle(an ideal location for experiencing various g-forces), while adding a bit of hood to this already beautiful form... Tell me I'm wrong. Edit: This concept had a bit of mid-engine dreaming mixed in that isn't compatible with the idea of moving the driver to the center of the vehicle while lengthening the hood...sorry. So, either my mid-engined dream or a longer engine bay.

Im buying a brand new white brz soon. This car will be my baby for a a long time :)

Just about to order the 2017 model of this. Excited doesn't even come close to describing how I'm feeling!

Proud owner since 2013. Had many people say to me "why buy that when x car has more power".... that has got to be the least relevant argument imaginable. Especially when the "x car" is usually some kind of hatchback which, let's be honest' was designed to be a compromise between practicality and comfort. Some people just want big numbers, I just want to drive - now leave me in peace.

Why get the automatic version? For me it was a no-brainer, I tried both cars and maybe it's just my lack of shifting skills, but I don't think I will EVER shift as fast and smooth as the automatic, especially when accelerating fast. Also, as a daily commute car for a regular driver like me, the auto gives more time to feel the handling of the car because I don't need to concentrate on shifting. The auto gearbox also has this sport mode where it keeps the RPMs high when braking for a turn, so there is immediate power when leaving the turn. So I got the automatic transmission version of this car, and I love it, thank you very much ;-)

Yes, I do like the GT86, but it wasn't the first car like that. In 1987 in the United States, the chevrolet corsica was produced. It had about the same height off the ground as the narrator showed in the GT86, a 3.1 liter 6 cylinder motor along with a 2.2 liter 4 cylinder motor during the last 4 years of production (1992-1996. I have the '96 4 cylinder version) Since the chevy emblem on my car is black, on a black grill, and the size of your index finger, most people think it's an import. It is also INVINCIBLE! I'm not kidding. The car I have is 18 years old now and has never had a problem. It is forward wheel drive (which can be good or bad depending on what you like), but the power and roar of the engine makes up for that. The fuel economy is also amazing along with the price ($1800 for my car in perfect condition). The car is also a foot wider than a smartcar which makes it good for cities full of 1999-2003 mustang drivers who think they own the road. They will kill you where I live. If you found this interesting, look up the chevy corsica. if not, sorry I wasted 2 minutes of your time.

Being the stupid teenager I am, I went 100 miles per hour the other day and the engine sounded like a ferrari 458 once the overdrive kicked in (I saw/heard one a couple of minutes later). The corsica's limit is 120 with only stock and 140 with a turbocharger.

In the process of upgrading my S14's entire suspension and converting to S15 front. Bring it on FR-S

Finally, a video that doesn't talk about how slow the car is. Good Job!👍

I like this review... short and simple.

Great vid : ) I have a GT86, and I grew up where this was filmed (I think); it's an excellent road for the 86 and there are parts that I can take quicker than in my old S2000s, so good is the handling : )

It seems as if "driver's car" is a title used when a car doesn't make enough power to get the driver into trouble.

Whoever hates on this car either is just that, a hater, or has never driven one. I currently drive and own a '14 FR-S 6MT and love it. My last car was a single turbo '05 Mustang GT with a FULL suspension set up, and I still enjoy the FRS leaps and bounds more.

I own a BRZ (Manual), happy to answer any questions for any people questioning if they should buy one :) I for one completely agree with the review, the car is excellent and such a passionate joy everytime you enter the cockpit.

i own a GT 86 and as far as road handleing goes its a stunner

There are 4 traction control modes. ON, VSC SPORT, OFF and COMPLETELY OFF.. The COMPLETELY OFF is done by the "pedal dance"... No more GHOST VSC.

Im happy it only got 200hp. Taxes are too high for high power cars. Can always tune it afterwards to get some more horses

im going to miss this car... because we know its going to go where all other affordable fun cars go.... the cancelled project line

Too bad that by the time I'l be able to afford one, they'l have phased out the manual gearbox completely...

We don't want those folks to know what it is. It keeps the price low to buy several, then sell them for lots when they eventually do find out...

Just wait for someone to make a manga where a delivery driver uses this.

You should do more car reviews

What makes this car beautiful is what makes me hate every other modern overrated piece of shit like BMW, the lack of a raw driving experience. GT86? Just you and the car. BMW? All sorts of electronics on the dash making me feel like Im not in a car anymore.

Its got good handling, quickness and I bet its good on fuel too. Its only a 2 litre and is reliable too. I already have a Toyota Celica. Hopefully hard work will pay off in the future to get the GT86.

Nice video. But 'no other car comes close'? Hmm, not sure. RX8, S2000, 180sx (with the SR20DET) to name a few. Ok, the S2 only has two seats, but it was pulling off similar tricks for many years before the '86 showed up. I guess depending on your manufacturer allegiance, or whether or not you have to have something brand new, those others might not cut it. But they're arguably as good as, if not better than, the Toyota.

Own one, very happy with it.. handles awesome.. not very fast, but i don't need it to be, i have done breath mods, and will tune once out of storage.. best car I have owned ( owned five cars )

Sooo it's a Subaru with Toyota badges... apparently there's some talk about a brz sti. Should be interesting!

WRX STI: for when it snows. (clip of the WRX sliding through snow) BRZ STI: for when it doesn't (clip of the BRZ sliding on pavement) boom- there is the marketing advertisement.

the only thing wrong about the gt86 is how wide its body is. if it were 5% or 10% narrower it would be perfect

I have to say it is quite amazing how hate-filled and ignorant people are about this glorious car. No matter what car forum you go to, people are always hating on this car. As an owner, I just don't understand why people hate this car so much... Oh well, fuck the haters.

They are so popular here in Australia (the most popular transmission is the paddle shift) I want to get one with the extras like the huge spoiler paddle shift and the bronze metallic paint

this car was built for the "bendy bits" as you brits call it. it's not going to have that top end speed, nor even the handling you think it should (blame those prius tires, put on there for that exact reason) but it will nose around those turns like an angel. put some fatter pirelli's on there, and you have a superb handling machine; that will be hard to break lose even with the traction controls off. it's a wonderful drive, plus with subaru and toyota''s sister company scion making parts, customizing one will be easier than a honda in a few years. this car is so well marketed that even journalists have no clue what to make of it yet. it's only drawback? the price. yes, you can buy more car for the same amount, you could even buy a new mini and say it has just as much fun in it as the BRZ/FRS/GT86: but for all that, you wont get a reliable boxer, rear wheel drive, manual, damn near perfectly poised and balanced roadster. And I feel this is more of a roadster, then the sport coupe that is it's legacy; the AE86 Trueno, also known as the corolla everywhere else.

clearly i haven't dug deep enough on Carthrottle youtube because i never seen Adnan on video reviews before..

Oh, and 27 people drive S2000s and blow away GT86s daily.

if you go to a track day, you'll be dissapointed to see them both making very similar laptimes. especially when the S2K costed nearly as much as a supra when new. and the 86 costs as much as a corolla.

HeavenzBreaker yes the interior of the 86 is also shitbox, and the S2000 is 10years old.

+Justin Su because interiors win races right? -_- And if you think the 86 interior is unimpressive, have you SEEN the sk2 interior? it doesn't even exist. an ugly "wanna-be Dakota" digital speedo and a wheel basically with a couple of knobs. lots of painted aluminum and a switch or 2. thats it. Geoffrey Krenn Yea, so was the S2k. with it's "X-frame" technology for perfect weight distribution and body rigidity. So it's a fair comparison, but this commenter was saying how a $48,000 car was blowing away a $25,000 car. which 1) wasn't even the case and 2) wasn't even the case LOL

They love there vtec yo. The reality is S2000 feels slow if you keep it under 6500 to 7000 rpm. And who drives like that every day.. It's all crap when they say S2000 is this and that and RX8 is cheaper. Of course it is it's an old car :)

the birth of a very detailed legendary car

Nice review guys, but i still prefer way more my genesis

Loving Lost in Las Vegas as the intro song

I love how people think a car needs to have massive amounts of horsepower and torque to be a good or fun car to drive....

The video title is right. That's because every vehicle is about 10 car lengths ahead. LOL, just ruffin' your feathers a bit.

all it needs now is an 86 (hundred) red line limit.

This car is the absolute best to enter the supercar world!

love your channel!

They talked about it in 2012 the brz sti and they can't fit a turbo + intercooler they claim as well as they want to reserve that turbo and awd for the wrx sti.

Great video! Sooooo well made! Like!

Its mid 2019 and trust me some people still dont know what model or make it is

8-6: the legend continues

Well, most people are not real sport-car drivers and those who needs feeling of rush, wants to have a lot of power from standstill and up to highway speeds. So, what they really they want is bigger engine while driving it prestigiously. They don't need complete balanced chassis and they need practicality with beauty on it a bit at least. For this reason this car is for purists.

I think its a good looking car it may not be the quickest car of the line but fun isnt always about speed its about how the car makes you feel , Yes buying 2nd hand maybe able to get yourself an M3 or Evo X which will blow it away but they dont come with 3/5 year warrenty and cost a hell of a lot more to insure and keep running ie Fuel costs, tyres , servicing .

The number of S2000 references are too damn high!

I want one so bad. Glad you guys did a review!

This car is cool and I'm glad they made a sequel to the ae86, but you can't beat the originals

I love the ae86. But in real life, now... they aren't even close are they? I mean even just in terms of safety... I would rather be in about 10 crashes at 60mph in the GT86 vs 1 crash in the AE86.

Great review and a iconic car:-)

the best way of enjoying this car is to fly to Munich and rent a GT-86 there. (Herz have The GT-86) And then drive on the autobahn as fast as you can to the austrian mountains. This car does well on mountain roads. And it is a lot of fun. then you drive back to munich. This trip should take 3-6 days. And the car should only cost something about 150€ to maybe 350€ during that time. This is cheaper than buying this car:)

I would get this car because I love handling, but I love it with a combo of speed! And I can't be slower than my mom in her Porsche Cayenne S!

ninteh The Accord V6 is pretty porky, but it's also got a not-inconsiderable amount of power. The recent models all have over 270HP, the current model has about 300.

they should make a more power trd pack for the gt86
