People say this isn't a sports car!? That's crap, this is exactly what a sports car is. People have forgotten what a sports car is because power figures have gone through the roof in things like hot hatches. This is the quintessential interpretation of a sports car. Sports cars have never been about high power, they're about driving dynamics.

I agree driving is about fun handling and cornering on those b roads and going for a sunday drive at 4pm on a sunny summers day and parking out side a country pub for all to see also styling a important factor not always about power but thats just a bonus i enjoy handling and the cheeky pull aways when you got a bmw saloon up your backside nice just to pull away and meet him again in the corners see him oversteer . I think gt 86 is a lovely car and my father in law looking into one my advice ignore the figures and enjoy comfort and style

I think people take issue with it as they scrapped the Celica which out performed this, they make up a variety of reasons why they dislike this but in reality they just want Celica to come back.

The Celica most definitely does NOT outperform the gt86, even a stock one. I owned a gt86 now and used to own a Celica.

my friend have one and i drove it and its fun as fuck. its so sharp and flat in corners and the engine-gearbox combination is just dilicious its by far the best 4 cyl car i've ever driven. my only complain is that its too stiff for shitty roads and the seat are harsh and uncomfortable for over-weighted people. As a daily driver i prefer my dodge challenger because its x10 more comfortable, spacious and practicle. but this car is a fun to drive. if you are a skinny person and you don't give a shit about ride comfort go for it.

As a Miata owner, I love the Toyobaru. We need more lightweight canyon carvers on the roads, and this is the first true rival to the Miata (S2K was too expensive and the Solstice was too rubbish). The back seats, while small, are sufficient in emergencies and provide useful in-cabin storage the rest of the time. I can't wait to pick up a second-hand Toyobaru in a few years time.

The reason this car appeals to me much, much more than a hot hatch is it's rear-wheel drive. While standard a hot hatch will out-accelerate it, it's a true sports car, light, nimble, RWD and so sounds like much more of a purists machine. Every reviewer so far has agreed on it's handling being fantastic. And all of our favorite companies will have lots of lovely go-faster parts for it in no time. I'd nearly buy this without a test drive!

But all in all, they're both the same car. The brz and the ft86 (FR-s in some markets) is the result of a joint effort by toyota and subaru. Basically, Subaru took care of the engineering and toyota tackled the designing

Never understand KZbin arguments. In 10 years, this car will be a great platform to begin a tuning project. Think about it: old 300zx and 240sx models, the old 86, the supras, preludes, etc are all fairly inexpensive now and great to fix up. Hard to find a good old tuner though worth actually putting money into, but this car will be awesome once the new wears off and you can find a used one.
