2022 Toyota GR86 Premium In-Depth Mechanical Review

[@jerizzome]

I really hope they give you a GR Corolla to review too. Would love to see how you think they stack up against each other after having driven them both

[@GiveItTheBeans]

I really hope so too, that’s a car I’d like to own.

I can listen to Sarah talk about tips all day.

Sarah can show you his tip. You can even grab his beans.

[@chrisbailey5055]

For non aviation type people, DA = Density Altitude....pressure altitude corrected for non-standard temperature. As temperature and altitude increase, air density decreases...the more dense the more power your engine can make.

[@TeemarkConvair]

ha i was chuckling to myself about this same thing

[@LeicaM82]

Thank you for the under-the-nose view starting at 4:00. It allowed me to confirm that the new GR86 on my local dealer lot has damage to the bottom of the black trim for the front wheel well air skirt intake. My guess it was either an automatic car wash track or a steep-ish driveway entry. These under-car views are very valuable.

Your positivity is contagious keep up the awesome work 👍

[@donmiller6839]

Sarah totally love your vids I have been hunting for an 86 since your review back in october.. Love the brutally honest enthusiast reviews.. I want a manual transmission RWD sports car before electric takes over

[@dc76384]

The 2023 Nissan Z has really caught my eye. Hope you'll be reviewing that soon.

[@betteheadbettehead4800]

Yessss! Just posted the same!

[@jozsefizsak]

I'm hoping to get one of the old ones someday, based to a large extent on your recommendation. You're a trusted source!

[@olli-pekkavuorinen1187]

Your intro is spot-on. You are my favourite youtuber! Thanks for every minute of these videos.

[@av8bvma513]

Yup, out of all those "Garage-Dwelling Sarahs" that I know, you are indeed, My Favorite!

[@basshunter428]

You were 100% correct about the salt/slush/mud getting trapped behind that panel! Not a fan of rubberized undercoating either (even the factory applied stuff). I've seen numerous vehicles (up here in the notheast) that had factory undercoating that were completely rotted out from behind the coating! Salt has to eat too! 😆

[@azarahwagner2749]

You are and always will be my favourite garage dwelling Sarah 🥰 Thank you for sharing

[@DEVILTAZ35]

That makes her sound like a spider lol. I live in OZ so they frequent my garage lol

[@G90M5Kel]

Shit I got an automatic and it’s a rocket. It’s a lot of fun. I took the carbon air filter out of the intake air box and put a k&n drop in and what a night and day difference. Very fast 4cyl that everyone should experience in auto or manual. Get one!

[@tom9188]

I got the auto too, it keeps up well, shifts much different than most ATs

[@ScarletGuts]

Damn the stock air filter was restricting it that much?!

[@G90M5Kel]

@@ScarletGuts yeah it has a fuckin charcoal filter in the box once you remove it you get easily 10 hp and another 10 with a sport drop in filter

I want to have fun, Sarah! That's why I'm here. Nicely done!

[@danoneill2846]

5:10 those vents will be a home for snow sludge and probably even get broken when the sludge freezes - same problem was with, I think, previous gen kia optima. Not a winter car.

Got a manual brz limited and I love it. It’s worth noting the official power numbers are a bit underrated.

[@alouisschafer7212]

Your detailed mechanical insights are so helpful.

[@alexandram9477]

I have a 2022 BRZ Limited 6MT (I loved your track day video where you got to compare the 1st/2nd gen!!) - I noticed those little fins behind the rear wheels! Discovering those made me love the car even more :)

[@ianprice2298]

One thing that you could include in your mechanical reviews, is a quick description of the difference between an open diff and a Torsen diff, the next time you run into one. It is complicated, but you have a way of making complicated things sound easy.

[@fishflash1]

Great exhaust sounds and just a fun car. Hope it does well.

[@abarber971]

I think the sound test on anything other than a growling V8 is waste of time. But that's just my opinion. These things sound like a farting bumblebee, again, just my opinion.

Sarah, you've done it again! Bravo!

[@LearningJeff]

I watched the NY test earlier. Personally I would go for the manual transmission. I’m sure there’s enough market for the automatic, hold on and steer crowd.

[@joecovey2235]

Same with the Miata, manual or bust. I never really thought much of the first gen, but the reviews I've seen of the second gen with the manual are all positive. I think either of them plus the Civic Si are buy them now cars as EVs as much as I hate it seem to be the future. If you enjoy fun to drive cars like these with manuals, get em now.

[@eclectictech]

My nephew just got a 2023 model, same color. I was looking under the hood and also noticed the AC lines, in particular the return line from the evaporator... not only the strange routing, but the unusual (at least to me) feature of having the liquid line tin indide of the vapor return line, I imagine the reason is related to the crazy routing. Guessing maybe a way to kerp liquid from returning to the compressor, but not sure. Maybe it's not so uncommon with the 1234yf refrigerant systems? Just guessing. Maybe someone reading this will know.

[@freedomstar3814]

The outfit , along with the car are both on point !

[@Tony-ib2vm]

Just drove a k24 1g yesterday. Thanks to the update, the kpower kit is easier to stomach. Picking up a running 1g for less now, then selling the boxer for $3500-$4k, is a reasonable strategy for making a potent machine.

[@EarthyBlendPOV]

Always impressed with your video lighting skills Sarah. Love the new channel.

[@Kevin27182]

I'm glad you checked the functionality of those side vents 😏

[@Wabbajack666]

Great and informative video especially the underbody bit. You know your stuff! Just curious…how tall are you😳

[@ericdolby1622]

Imagine hearing the rattles over Toyotas amazing buzzers and churps and warnings sounds.

[@wongway40]

great review.... but of course one has to ask - Will a 2JZ swap be possible in this car?

[@jerimiebrown351]

Do a side by side comparison of track bRed GR86 and your MR2

[@JasonYergin]

For sure the auto detracts from the nature of the car, but for someone who wants a small, fuel efficient car with RWD, an LSD and all the other fun parts of the car, it works to drive in traffic.

[@Dragon228833]

Agree with u on the point that it should only come in manual. Getting an automatic in this car would be like getting a touchscreen computer that can’t click on anything without a mouse

[@JeremyKasperson]

I rofl when Sarah got to 3rd base with the fender air vents.

[@dhmallet]

On a totally random note, you must have a huge wardrobe since it always seems as though you are wearing a different top (less so when you are wrenching). Compared to your earliest work, your self confidence has grown to a large extent. While you love to come up with hilarious non sequiturs, it does not make you any less brilliant.

[@jwcarpenter9354]

Nice bell bottoms! You just keep getting cooler! Very honest review. Will you review a new Z car?

[@recca7]

Wow so knowledgeable with cars. I enjoyed watching this review👏👏

Nice Beans review, Thanks Sarah.

[@gregsimcoe]

Hi Sarah, just found you today and newly subscribed. Really appreciate your knowledgable assessment and dig your humor. Quick question, car shopping on a budget and though I’ve been looking at mid size ‘23 Frontier or ‘23 Colorado, bang for buck am also looking at ‘23 GR86. Watched your review of ‘22 and no prob with stick but may have to make some trips to LA and hate burning up a clutch, although up in Santa Ynez a stick would be fun. Just picking your brains and wanted to throw you some accolades. Oh yeah, wondering with back seat down on Toyota if I can fit a guitar and amp, gotta check dimensions but amp has two 12” speakers so maybe 2’ x 30” x 11”. Just a guess. I guess I better ask dealer to measure, haha. Cheers.

[@WJRobbins125]

These are great, fun, cars. I really enjoy my 2017 86! Now I have reason to be tempted for a GR.

[@DEVILTAZ35]

I think yours looks better . this one is a bit of a try hard to look pretty . It's lost it's unique look. Not a fan of the cheapo looking digital gauges either. If Korea can make decent gauges in cheap cars then so can Toyota.

[@iainf6]

Have you thought about getting one of these for the channel and showing what can be done....a manual only tho.....

[@LexusRXGuy]

Why does it have the Subaru chime instead of a Toyota chime when you started it up. And how does this compare to the fr-s

[@KenColton]

“Looks like those Legos that looks like the Lego person head but it’s not the same Lego as the Lego person head” 😂 That is the perfect way to describe that Lego piece.

[@MB-ub5ns]

I wish Toyota would make an MR2. I miss my 87' Mr. 2. It was only a 1.6 with 115 hp. but being a mid engine, the engine would howl in my ears. Also, I love the look on your face when you accelerate the cars.

[@gwot]

imagine teaming up with Porsche to make a Cayman/MR2

[@Nile9063]

Kinda want this car, but with the manual transmission obviously. Didn't know, I wanted this car but that's what happened

[@nandopelusi7699]

Great honest and fun review. Would love to see one of the '22 BRZ manual.

[@shermanbland5417]

If it’s a coupe definitely feel like a convertible should have been optional. One of the reason why I went with the Mazda Miata.

[@UnitedWeRiseSS]

hey can you do a video on the Hyundai Palisade? thank you

[@johnmbell4642]

Hey Sarah, my second favorite channel🙂 my first thought was it’s a GR it should only come with a manual then I remembered supra . I still can’t get over how suddenly the 86 has gotten better looking it looks like a cross between a Porsche and the new Z hopefully the next GR you get in for a review is the Corolla that’s gonna be awesome on and off road I cannot wait….🐧🐧🐧👍

[@cubedcorefpv165]

5:17 lol you didn’t learn from Mighty car mods not to stick your fingers in the fender vents? Unless this was an homage to Moog, then you nailed it!

Thank you for your 'take no prisoners attitude' on the manual. For some cars it should be a requirement, and only two-doors while we're talking here.

[@kgthegreatone943]

Why so many automatics in the gr86 and brz?

[@worseorbetter]

An Audi RS5 coupe, 2.9 liter twin turbo. Wonder what the score would be on that.

[@79blustone]

They should have fitted the G16E-GTS engine in this one, more power and generally what's required of a GR brand 👍
