[@tomc8854]

Nice review, nailed it. You get this car. Have had my FR-S for 3 years now and it still makes me smile every time I drive it. I like that it’s basic. Like a blank slate you make it what you want. I’ve added a unequal length header, cat back and tune . Just those simple mods really wake this car up! Still undecided on whether to super charge it or not. Kinda happy with the way it is now. Awesome keep it up!

[@truckerrickakamanowar]

Another great review. Sarah's a keeper. TFL is now my favorite automotive news reviews source.

[@Ottaro]

First time I saw one of Sarah's reviews. I love the style, the little delays in speech pattern to emphasize or blinks/side to side looks etc. All in all, good job.

[@jessemiller8476]

I haven’t had a TFL video pop up in my feed in a long time, I’m glad this was the one to show up! You are hilarious Sarah I love it! Can’t wait to see more of your videos! *subscribes*

[@vision1707]

after a year i'm still in love with my automatic toyota 86 .

[@TravelwithNJSteveandSue]

Great review and enjoy your humor. I drive a 2013 BRZ and still enjoy my daily drive. Of note, my BRZ still feels and handles like new after 5 years & 47K miles.

[@TravelwithNJSteveandSue]

lets hope so!

[@neathway382]

47k on a Subaru is nothing. She ain't even broke in yet. I've got a `93 Subaru (Forester not BRZ) with over 260k on the clock. Still runs, and drives, flawlessly.

[@lukescapee1234]

“Black edition” “Except it’s gray” ...except it’s blue

[@jmos96]

Well done Sarah and keep up the good work. Congratulations on a great first solo review. Continue to develop YOUR style and you’ll be a big hit.

[@Lexman00]

The camera is really zoomed in for some reason.

[@COBHC8890]

Just underpowered was my only complaint when I owned mine. I had the BRZ, and even with an intake, catback, and tuner from COBB it was...ok. I should've just bought the Vortec Supercharger first, then went to the exhaust. But good quality car! I put 31,890 miles on it. No issues

[@wizeguiz]

Great review Sarah! Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next review! :)

[@kennethrine8171]

Congratulations on the TFL LOVE it. Your doing GREAT

[@WhiskyCardinalWes]

I like the humor; I had to clean up the morning coffee when the description of the the rear window was "...nope." Have a soggy thumbs up! EDIT - a word

[@Kiss__Kiss]

Cool Review Sarah.. Is this a one-off review? Or will we see more of you on TFL?

[@jody024]

She will do more of these on this channel

[@Victic005]

Finally a review that made me smile, great job Sarah 👍.

[@barry1527]

Great review Sarah! So glad your finally on the channel. :)

[@rookietoprobuildz]

I want those 2017 taillights , only part of the newer 86 that I care for.

[@deandalapanda]

Rookie To Pro lol you drive a sloooow car 😂

[@jacquescoury2979]

Deandalapanda ok look I found that kid that cares only about HP

[@rookietoprobuildz]

Your opinion , you must drive a supercar !?

[@jacquescoury2979]

Rookie To Pro ignore him man. How do you like the car? Thinking of getting a 2018 BRZ.

[@deandalapanda]

Rookie To Pro broooooo... 170HP lol 😂😂😂 My evo on stock 16g at 10pounds would still push much lower than that

[@BeanieNinjay0]

Sarah works for TFL now? Nice.

[@MrWallymac4]

Dammmmm Sarah! I’m loving TFLcar because of you👌🏽. Keep up the good work 👍🏽

[@mankola]

I watch TFL but never subscribed until now. Entertaining, refreshing, and funny review. More reviews with Sarah please.

[@rryan7476]

Great review! It was all around fun!

[@mikeyfourbarrel8473]

I couldn’t agree more about that paint color. It’s subtle but super eye catching at the same time. It reminds me of the non-metallic grey that came on the early Audi TT. These cars continue to be 50hp short of legendary but I still want one. As for dudes commenting on the host’s looks; who do you imagine this is impressing? Some private thoughts are ok to leave out of the comments section.

[@JuneBuggJr]

Awesome Review Sarah. Also I watch your videos of you working on the MR2. Can't wait when you finish and drive that car!

[@alexbaker7243]

Definitely want to see more of Sarah on TFL. Her reviews are greatly appreciated.

[@FujiboHeavy]

Great review! They need to bring the Celica back!!!

[@user-Timothy1]

no they need a Toyota supra

[@lucky1206]

Fujibo Heavy STFU....you sound like those people begging for every 90s sports car..like people that beg for the evo...man it's annoying and another thing, this car is crap...years of development and fine tuning and a partnership with another billion dollar car maker, and this is what toyota comes out with....a 200hp slow af engine with rear wheel drive and no real extra trim. I really call this the poor person's sports car. When people are not satisfied with what they have in power from the manufacturer, they have to put a turbo in it just to make a difference which is sad because it should be as fast from the start from all the marketing it did racing down a hill side like Steve McQueen was driving it ha ha...this is a real joke. Get a WRX STI if your looking into something relevant..and from what we are seeing in this I'm sure that new supra won't be the head turner that everyone is hoping for ha ha

[@FujiboHeavy]

im not begging for anything. I could care less. Plus I grew up in the 90's so anything involving cars, music etc, its gonna be simply what i grew up on. Plus I love poor mans car, im poor so is the rest of the world. You have to start at the bottom to rise to the top. Build a foundation. Not born into it. Then you have no appreciation or work ethic. People have to be happy with what they can afford, work hard for it, and be happy with what they got. Its not a competition, no one cares.

[@smallnuts2]

Fujibo Heavy if they brought back the MR2 spyder I would get one.

[@Ryan-re7oj]

Woke up...oh cool a new S'n'T vid......wait a minute..........TFL!? Nice work! Sorry Toyota, I'd take the Subie anyday of the week.

[@timalusi5683]

Thanks for the review, went to get myself one!

[@nestorramirez30]

I like that you offer performances upgrades parts ;-) with every car review

[@beamerUSA]

7:39 She is a serious driver. I like her.

[@highlycaffeinated6864]

Great addition to the team. Love her review style. She's a keeper!

[@texastriguy]

Highly Caffeinated - Sarah does a great job on her own channel too. She's goofy and fun and attractive, but surprisingly knowledgeable and very hands-on with cars. It's a refreshing style and I surprisingly like it a lot.

[@RustyPranger]

Sara-n-Tuned on TFL? Way to go whoever recruited her!

[@NMChiphopdawg]

I bought my 2017 toyota 860 special edition last year, very similar to this one expect mine is pearl white. I installed aftermarket rims and sticky tires, Injen cold air intake, Tomei UEL header + over pipe + Invidia cat-back exhaust with a custom tune (OFT) for 94 Octane. I think the car feels amazing now, its quite a difference from stock and recommend it to anyone who buys this car. Header + tune is the way to go.....

[@davidblalock9945]

I agree with you Sarah, if a computer is controlling what gear you’re in, and controlling the throttle to maintain speed, you’re not driving, you’re just steering. People need to be taught how to drive. How to manage a throttle, how to operate a clutch, shift their own gears.

[@texastriguy]

David Blalock - Livin' Life Do you know how to ride a horse? Or shoe one? Can you dig a well? What about grow your own food and hunt? I get your point, but things change. It's pretty much already over for the manual transmission. They'll stick around for fun, but functionally they are obsolete. No major supercar manufacturer uses three pedals anymore, save for a couple of specialty market vehicles.

[@mrburtowski]

Anyone's preference is fine...autos and dcts are unquestionably better but better doesnt mean always more appealing ..as long as there's a manual option Im fine

[@gylasalle]

Sarah, that was an awesome review. You definitely look better than the guys but you also have the talent and the humor for it. Roman might have found an additional someone to add to the crew😁.

[@wolfy5471]

Wasn't subbed to this channel before, but if Sarah is doing reviews here I'm in. I like her style. The humor she brings is appreciated.

[@itzed]

Nice to see sarah back again. I had a 2014 BRZ. Love it on smooth back roads, but too many compromises for my commuting. Highway noise and ride are harsh, and the center console is not designed to be comfortable.

[@SortaProfessional89]

Wait WHAAAAAAT Sarah-n-tuned is part of this channel now?? Thats awesome congrats. Your channel needs a checkmark/verification

[@kartboarder22g17]

Yea what the.

[@supernova1976]

good effort Sarah, if I have to give any feedback/ constructive criticism: you are spending a big portion of the review on interior and colour and way too less time on drive and feel and track time, balance is required. Come on guys let Sarah on the track :)

[@swanblake]

supernova1976 ohmmo totally disagree with this. 86 is all about driving. Focus on the driving

[@jeffk464]

Yeah, thats one cool thing about the Smoking Tire guy. He spends almost all of his time talking about how the car drives.

[@supernova1976]

Blake Swan man I don't know how I managed to messup what I was trying to say, that's exactly what I wanted to say, we need more on how the car drives and less on the easthetics .

[@tnitron9750]

TFL has a lot of female viewers people. Its not just a man's world when it comes to cars and performance, people. Sarah is a nice addition here.

[@supernova1976]

JDM A'F no man the opposite, she needs to review the cars driving characteristics more than the interior , I guess my message is not clear 😊 .

[@DoctorChange106]

Great review and good for tuning enhancements - agree. Good job Sarah.

[@purplejwhayes]

Love your style Sarah. Thanks for the great video.

[@lsmocyclist]

I like her Style!! hope to see you in a another review soon!!

[@all-flat-engines]

I think Toyota puts crap rims/tires on it knowing you’re going ditch them almost immediately. I did.

[@98thebishoy]

[@RarelyReplies]

Good review as will most likey only get better with each one. A lot better than a lot of other reviews

[@deanboshoff6849]

I like her, she's pretty, funny, and knowledgeable. Keep her! She perfect for car reviews... Great job Sarah! 😃 🖒

[@OfficialZerxes]

no shes not

[@Pureshit]

No she’s not knowledgeable. She was very basic.

[@williamheinsinger7390]

Sarah Rocks 👍

[@gunnitreck]

What a nice review! Thanks a lot, .... I just ordered the brother from another mother in rush blue pearl! 🙂

[@TeddyGyro]

Probably the most satisfying review of the 86 there is

[@Tobbots]

Good review but the lighting in this video is horrible.

[@danielc3321]

She is way more entertaining than anyone else on this channel. A perfect review, no. But she was funny and is obviously passionate about cars. Roman just seems to relish getting free flights to press events and brown nosing with manufacturer reps. I might actually watch this channel if you have Sarah back.

[@memedestroyer968]

Daniel Collin you're kidding right?

[@venomdave418]

Nice video. I think you will be a great addition to the channel. Some color correction in post is needed though.

[@roush427red]

After all its a nice review, im sure it will only get better from here, keep it up Sarah!!!

[@2011Fatman13]

I've watched Sarah N Tuned for a while now.Great addition to the Fast lane team.

SOLAR SS what are you talking about? Sarah has been nothing but nice.

[@karag6556]

Chuck Davis I won't reply to Solar, they are not worth a shred of time, but it's pretty sad the level of insecurity they must deal with to be so bitter.

[@saulespino2510]

Great review Sarah, so I bought the 2018 BRZ 50th Anniversary car in Heritage Blue is that the same color as this 86 you reviewd?

[@rogerholloway8498]

Good job on the review! (But in closing you said CFL instead of FCL :P)

[@campbell77uk]

Not a fan of this reviewer. Quite a huge step down from the regular crew. Both the camera work and the presenting (delivery and content) are quite poor. Doesn’t look or feel like your other work - quite unprofessional. Take her under your care and teach her to do better.

[@GiuseppeSimonetti]

1:46 She'd hit it from the back ;) lol.

[@landon390]

Best thing that has hit this channel in a long time

[@regsparkes6507]

[@wero1986as]

She's annoying

[@interpol007]

Stefan Braem I’m sad to say but TFL has just become another shill Chanel (minus Sarah) Look at their reviews, never offering any real critical opinions of the vehicles they drive. Maintain the status quo, keep getting invites for press events. Look at John cadogan’s video on should you trust car reviews and you’ll see

[@guantai69]

I take offense to these type of reviews. Not to be sexist, she knows her stuff obviously but this "camerawork" is literally focused on her more than the car lol. Why is she always in blocking a portion of the car when talking about it?

[@GT6SuzukaTimeTrials]

Everyone blocks the car when talking about it, you misogynist.

[@X00000370]

Hi Sara, I hope we see more of you, across car review platforms, in the future.

[@itsnotan8]

Yep. I checked out her channel over a year ago 'cause I saw one of her videos, and something didn't seem right about her to me. In one video (it was a q&a I believe, but since been deleted) she/he talked about being trans and taking the "pills."

[@MotoMedicine904]

John Wu she was. She use to have a channel up about going thru the transition from male to female but deleted it. I'm assuming she was afraid it would interfere with her current channel catching on because as we all know..."sex sells"

[@phill1491]

God that review felt so rigid and unnatural.

[@GeoTrashPanda]

Bradley Jackson ..........it's still lack of power! ;-P it's in the same class as the miata fun to drive/low horsepower car. Handling is very nice but to get some decent #'s it'll require a lot of custom work which equals lots and lots of $$!

[@GeoTrashPanda]

lol nice on the troll status being upgraded to douche baggery! LoL but yeah don't get me wrong i love a good handling car but also love to go fast in corners and in straight lines! highway pulls are also fun.

[@bradley8627]

A-SALT if only you could hear yourself. If you’ve never driven a handling, performance or super car then you can’t make ridiculous claims about a car like this being under powered. What are you the KZbin steerage club? I’m starting to think that you don’t understand English... Your slur laden responses are rather unclear and somewhat embarrassing. You’re either a child that’s never driven anything other than his mother’s mini van or you’re a wannabe hillbilly racer who owns a salvage title golf that you purchased from your grandfathers garage sale... Get the message you illiterate bleeding imbecile!

[@jmer3536]

No one ever said that when honda what worse numbers in its Integra and S2000 models. Its a NA Boxer engine. Get over it. Its a factory built REAR WHEEL DRIVE tuner car. And for that reason its a great car. Miatas are girly roadster cars. Not in the same category as this.

[@AoiGP]

Sorry but I cringed while watching her review. It feels as if she's reading off a cue card to remember what the tire sizes were or rim size. Has no flow on presentation. My suggestion practice before you seriously start recording.

[@J-W.-]
