The Toyota GT86, the Subaru BRZ, and the Scion FRS--the tuning trifecta that helped define the meaning of ‘driving experience.” With famed Tetsuya Tada at the helm, and a Subaru Boxer engine under its bonnet, the 86 took off from Japan, splashed into the European and American Automotive markets, and ushered in a new era of young drivers and enthusiasts. Of all its accolades, the GT86 just lacked one thing...power babeh!
Join James Pumphrey as we explore the Toyota GT86, and answer the infamous automotive dilemma, “does making a faster car, mean making a better car?”

To me, the fact that the 86 has "less power" than other contemporary sports cars, and is also N/A, just makes it all the more similar to the 86 of old. People criticized that car too for being old and slow, but what a legend and unique driving experience it is and turned out to be.

Mais parceque ce sont des phase 1 (2012-2014), et a cause du problème du rappel des ressorts de soupapes. (toyota victime d'une fraude de l'industrie métallurgique). On n’arrête pas de voir des propriétaire de gt86 dont toyota a cassé le moteur en faisant le rappel de travers ... mais c'est normal, vu la nullité des garagistes français. Les gt86 phase 2 sont bien plus chères: généralement plus de 20 000 euros. Et la mienne, neuve de 2020, je l'ai payé 51 500 euros, a cause du malus CO2 mensongé.

Its odd that a comparative small coup, the Mazda MX-5, could go generations with very nominal changes in power and still be loved, while the 86 receives criticism for it.

[@Heimdal001]

Many people say the Miata is a hairdresser's car, while many other people say "Miata Is Always The Answer." It gets it's share of criticism, but it's old enough that the consistency in it's design philosophy is part of the love, and the bulk of the power-critics have probably gone on to looking at different cars instead. Meanwhile, the GT86 is much newer, and the big boys behind the engine (Subaru) love juggling turbos so much that everyone is wondering how one hasn't accidentally fallen into the BRZ yet. I would love mine to have a turbo, but the car is already such a nice drive that it'd sort of be a waste.

Preach

[@jpcrafton69]

Every car has its own purpose. Every performance car has its own approach to "fun". A sports car relies on handling, feel, balance, tossability, and a direct connection to the road. The S2000 had that. The Elise had that. The first two generations of the Miata had that. The Toyobaru triplets had that. For me, any approach to "fun" has value. Hell, I even enjoyed tossing around my first new car, an obscenely simple '92 Nissan Sentra E, with its 13" wheels, manual everything, and power nothing. It was FUN. If I'm to drive a muscle car or pony car, I want tire-melting burnouts, loud growling engine notes, and room for some friends. If I'm to drive a Grand Tourer, I want legs for days, power to spare, and room for some overnight bags and some golf clubs. If I'm to drive a supercar, I want to be looked at and I want to scare myself with more power and sharper turning than I could ever handle. If, however, I want a car that feels like every ride on the playground, at any speeds, then I'll drive a sports car. The BRZ/FRS/86 is one of those cars, and it's a great one at that.

[@Tenaciousdomi]

Preach it brother

[@pasmoi4233]

indeed: time on tracks, winning race, and efficient driving is totally boring and absolutely no fun. Sadly, race/sport cars are evaluated on this shit.

I saved up since I was 5 years old to get my dream car when I was old enough...a camaro. 1,000s of chores, tutoring, teaching, and 2 summer jobs later I finally got my license and spent my life savings on..... a used FR-S instead. It’s been almost 6 years now and I can say it was the best decision I’ve ever made. Roadtrips from one ocean to the other. Hopefully I can pass it on to kids of my own one day!

@@lucsmith3953 driven hard the g35 will feel heavy, and go through tires, brakes and fuel much faster than an 86. Also it will struggle much quicker with engine overheating. It all depends on what kind of driving you like. If it helps: when you don't see the issue with putting 19 inch wheels on an 86, then the g35 is the right choice.

[@XxMrWink3rxX]

[@tonygil144]

The 86 doesn't need more power, I have a FR-S and I can redline with no problem. You never redline with a v6, v8, i6, or i8 cuz you will lose control. The 86 uses the whole engine efficiently, there is no way tou can do that with a faster car unless you are on the track.

Once u get into the 500 club that opinion u made is true but the frs should of been faster

[@RByrne]

Yeah, thats definitely not true. I have an S4(supercharged V6, 6spd manual) and i often redline it without losing control. Power isnt just about racing either. It affects driveability in everyday situations. When you have to redline the motor to pass someone on a freeway or going up a hill, that car is underpowered.

[@DjDizzy216]

Finally! Thank you for doing this video! I’ve had a turbo in my BRZ for 5 years now, putting out 275whp, I couldn’t ever go back to NA. It should’ve come with FI from the factory, it didn’t upset weight distribution at all.

[@tehgusbus2716]

Have you had any issues? What brand did you get

[@DjDizzy216]

Gustavo Salgado It’s a SBD kit (the Greddy knock-off). Winter mix fuel causes an O2 sensor warning every winter but the actual sensor is fine. I always run 93 octane, E85 stations are hard to find in my city. I think the winter O2 sensor issue is probably an OFT problem, I should’ve gotten EcuTek. So I reset the ECU once a month in winter. No issues aside from that annoyance. IMO getting it tuned by a great pro-tuner is the biggest factor in reliability. I’m going to have him retune it using EcuTek and see if the winter O2 sensor problem goes away.

[@travisstrange4680]

I have an FR-S and I agree the power is a little anemic however part of the fun is adding things to it to make more power, now you can get used BRZ/86/FRS's for 10-15k which is doable for a lot of younger people now (myself included) plus you can upgrade it over time making it more fun, currently I only have a cold air intake, cat back and OFT tune but I'm about to put headers on it and probably a supercharger kit down the line.
