As proud owner of the first Gen, it’s alarming that Toyota is not covering warranty claims for people who take their cars to the race track. They are not standing by how they are advertised.

[@MonkeyKong21]

how would they know if someone just takes it to a track?

[@abcmichale]

@@MonkeyKong21 Vehicle operation history can be checked through Toyota’s diagnostic software.

[@ziich1]

Sorry to burst your bubble but I don't think any car manufacturer covers track use. It's like smartphones with water resistance and not covering water damage

[@MonkeyKong21]

@@ziich1 but what if a company makes a waterproof phone and all their ads are people on the beach splashing the phone?

[@ziich1]

@@MonkeyKong21 there are so many examples. Sony showing someone take a call in the rain. I think there was even a OnePlus one that they did a water resistance test where they put a phone under water for 30 minutes

Too bad Toyota will void your warranty for Autocrossing even though they include a free track day with the car. I guess this is so you can void your warranty immediately!

[@hellatightdude]

It’s funny how they’re not replying to comments that are mentioning this. I hope they get screwed with a class action lawsuit for this behavior.

[@absolutelyfailz4480]

They learned it from Subaru who installed a rev hang in the wrx so you have to void your warranty in order to remove it with a aftermarket tune. The car is literally undrivable otherwise!

[@invertedv12powerhouse77]

@@hellatightdude they refunded the engine. only took 7 days? most refund problems like this in history have taken as long as 6 months

[@hellatightdude]

@@invertedv12powerhouse77 yeah it’s funny what social media backlash will make a company do. Put their ass to the fire and all of a sudden they start making moves. If it wasn’t for the roast, they never would have refunded/replaced his engine.

[@KingDiamondBones]

lol they're a business just remember that they want money

[@hellatightdude]

Toyota, how could you sell your GR products with a free track day and 12 month NASA membership and when someone makes a warranty claim during that period, you don’t honor it? You advertise your GR cars on the track, heck you even have a color named Track bRed and yet you won’t honor warranty claims when someone autocrosses it with the membership YOU provided. I have an allocation for a GR Corolla that I’m seriously considering rescinding. Is this really how Morizo-san’s company treats customers behind the scenes? What a disappointment. For those who want to see the post involving this issue, I can’t link in this comment section but search for “Toyota GR86 engine warranty claim denied because of autocross usage”.

[@kr1tak1ll70]

Thanks for the information! I was so hyped to get a new GR86 but with the warranty being SUS I'd rather wait for an official statement and not some PR statement. Bummer that Toyota is literally going against the whole point of the GR86. I mean if I wanted a new sports car not for drifting, I would get literally anything else. I went down the rabbit hole to see how big of an issue engine failures caused by RTV sealant getting sucked into the oil strainer is, and it is common sadly.

[@MJT-DA]

Can you link it i'm interested

[@hellatightdude]

@@MJT-DA I can’t link on KZbin without getting my link removed. Just search for “Toyota GR86 engine warranty claim denied because of autocross usage” on KZbin

[@shawnblatter1732]

Track ready? That will void your warranty. Autocross? Voided warranty :( Rear wheel spin, there goes your warranty.

[@austinberg6678]

Nice car but are we just going to ignore the fact that they are advertising a track car but they replace your engine under warranty if you use it for track car purposes such as drifting

[@SuperThatguylol]

Exactly, they want to brag about track ability then freak out once it hits a track?

[@shahrukhbakar3248]

PLEASE get Toyota/Subaru to release a Corrective Action on the RTV silicone clogging up the oil pickup tube strainer. There is way too much RTV silicone being applied from the factory and pieces are breaking off and clogging up the oil pickup tube strainer enough to damage engines. PLEASE get Toyota/Subaru corporate to fix this issue and use simple gaskets!!

[@risby1930]

It will probably take a class action lawsuit and a mandatory recall for Subaru to repair the rtv problem.

[@brianlee9233]

So glad that Toyota's getting back into sports cars! I love what they bring out and this looks amazing!

[@toyotausa]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, Brian! We can't wait for you to experience all the GR86 has to offer. 😍

[@bliglum]

This is really a Subaru not a Toyota. And the Supra is infamous a restyled BMW Z4... But the new GR Yaris, and GR Corolla have my respect... Would not mind a Morizo Edition myself!

[@30hours51]

@@bliglum ok, so what’s wrong with that, if it’s a good car. Honestly is Italian car enthusiasts are like you people then they wouldn’t survive. I haven’t seen a single fiat fan complain about their new 124 spider being a Mazda

[@bliglum]

@@30hours51 What's wrong is that it's disingenuous, a misrepresentation. And the 124 at least has that throaty Abarth heart. With uniquely Fiat styling.. If it was a Miata through and though, you probably would've heard more complaints. Or heard about how poorly it sold.

[@peejayem4700]

Proceed with caution, there’s plenty of examples turning up on the 86 forums with silicone/RTV sealant pieces clogging up the oil intakes

[@hellatightdude]

Even worse, Toyota isn’t honoring warranty claims when their cars are being autocrossed even though they’re selling them with a free track day and 12 month NASA membership. Pretty disgusting what Toyota is doing behind the scenes to their customers.

[@peejayem4700]

@@hellatightdude I’ve got a 1st gen BRZ. Subaru just covered my valve rocker arm failure free of charge 7 yrs out of warranty! I think the GR86 looks a lot better but I’d be tempted to go Subaru again because of the support if I go the 2nd gen. Then again I think I’d wait until the sealant issue is acknowledged and corrected in manufacture.

[@hellatightdude]

@@peejayem4700 I’m glad they honored yours. It seems like the safe bet at this time is to go with the BRZ instead of the GR86 since Subaru is actually treating their customers right.

Buyer beware. Toyota markets the car for the track, gives you a free track day and then they void your powertrain warranty if you actually take it to the track. Get a Subaru instead.

[@hellatightdude]

It’s funny how whoever moderates this channel is ignoring all negative comments while only responding to positivity. As if covering your ears is just going to make the issue disappear. Classic 5 year old approach I guess.

Engines blowing left and right in these cars. Then toyota has the nerve to deny warranty claims if you drove it like a sports car and especially if you used the free track driving experience they give you for free when you purchase the car.

They're not blowing left and right. They did walk that back though, they replaced the guys engine in warranty

[@boost331]

@@ElAndresRodriguez There are at least a dozen blown engines between the US and Japan so far. Seems like a high percentage of people that actually track the car like it is intended. I uses a bore scope to look inside the oil pan of my 22 and it looks like shit. There is silicone all iver the place in the oil pan. This is a bigger problem than you realize.

oh boy i would absolutely love owned a GR86 when i get older

[@thecrimsonfucker2334]

As someone who overlooked the gt86 for its styling, I absolutely love the new one. The only gripe I have is that I really wish they would've added a double wish bone / multi link ifs rather than the McPherson. The rear already has the multi link / double wish bone, I know they had to keep cost down for a sporty yet very affordable sports car ; also considering the flat 4 they used is not a narrow engine by any means so space is a challenge to say the least. But it could be just that much better for us tuners and builders

[@user-ep6wd7ip7v]

Problems with oil pan being over sealed and the silicone gets into the pick up tube in the oil pan causing motor to seize up watch out all cars are over applied in it do your oil Change use a scope look in the pan you will see

[@andrearamosramos130]

Just got mine...just wow

[@bmanz8117]

I've had mine for 8 months now. I really like it. Pretty quick, could still use more power. 275 hp would bring this car right where it needs to be to match how it looks. The interior plastics are not really that good scratching up too easily. Road noise is a bit much. A better sounding stock exhaust should be considered. The fake engine noise, do without it, so I disconnected it, added a nice aftermarket , it sounds good. The shark fin on the roof takes away from the lines and styling. Overall a nice sports car, however Toyota left some things on the table. HP, and better quality cabin materials.
