2023 Toyota GR86 - 23 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

In what world exactly is that a “skinny” steering wheel? If you want to know what a truly skinny steering wheel looks and feels like just drive a car from the 60’s or 70’s. They were not only skinny but the diameter was huge. Back then when fixing up a car for racing or even high performance street driving the very first thing we did was to replace the steering wheel. On modern cars however the steering wheels are about the optimum diameter and girth for high performance driving or even racing. And as someone who did a lot of racing and car modification in my youth I can tell you that I would not feel the slightest need to change out that steering wheel. Its just perfect as is.

Thanks for your review. The GR86 uses the Toyota D-4S injection, which is why the plastic cover has these things printed on it. Toyota didn't "pay for the privilege to be on it". Also, Toyota owns 20% of Subaru, so there's that.

Sorry for the late reply

[@wheeze_86]

Missed a couple things, Toyota let Subaru use toyota's direct injection for the engine, also the engine is tuned by Toyota, and the brz is tuned by Subaru, Toyota didn't pay to just put their name on it, it's mainly a Toyota project, Subaru just makes it. Also the "half fake" aero is blocked off because it supplied the engine and wheel bays with too much air. Also the left traction control button turns off everything except ABS after holding it for 5 seconds. The right traction control button only puts the car in track mode, which turns of stability control and tightens up the steering but that's it. Also not so fun fact the automatics come with Subaru eyesight and it sucks.

Actually more of a Toyota insisted that D4-S be on the car. I read the backstory on it, and Subaru said it could not be done on the Boxer engine, and resisted the idea. Be glad it’s on both the BRZ , and the 86, as this system not only adds power, but you will not get carbon fouling like a normal DI engine, because the added port injection keeps the valves clean

But.. when it's frozen you can't get in your car.. door gets stuck with window gasket. The coffee holders are bother some.. I place napkins over the usb ports next to the holder to prevent and spilt coffee. The stock stereo is okay but I noticed even on low the door speakers vibrate the side mirror a lot.

Yeah, I really get tired of everyone saying that everyone knows that “nobody” will ever sit back there. My girlfriend is very petite and she would likely have no trouble sitting in the front seat with it way forward and her equally petite girlfriend could fit in the back seat right behind her. Now obviously this would not be ideal on a long trip but it would work quite well if we were all going out to dinner together or something like that. That back seat is only there for those extremely rare occasions when you might need to give a 3rd passenger a lift across town. Anyway, it would be more accurate for these car reviewers to say that the vast majority or adults will not be able to use the back seat.

First of all, I really liked your video, the GR 86 us my favorite car ever and I enjoyed your video 💕 Then, I just wanna add that the alcantara on top of the instrument cluster is to reduce reflections on the windshield (See The Straight Pipes' review on the C8 Corvette for more info) Also, Toyota did the fuel injection system in the Subaru engines because Toyota owns a part of Subaru and when they asked Subaru to give their engine direct injection they said it couldn't be done so Toyota engineers went in and made the injection system themselves, so yes, this is an engine co-developed by Toyota and Subaru. This isn't a Supra situation where Toyota just redesigned, recalibrated and retuned a BMW M340i. Also, the original idea was to only have the 86 and no BRZ but Subaru whete so happy with the prototype they wanted their own version and Toyota agreed because more sale is always good specially for this sort of cars :)

[@fromfareastindy8234]

Although the basic design of the engine is based on Subaru, Toyota's D4-S direct injection technology has been introduced, so the entire area from the head to the fuel injection system uses Toyota's patented technology. This is why the names of both Toyota and Subaru are written on the engine. In the development process, Toyota brought in the product planning itself, so we must not forget that Toyota was involved in the fundamental aspects of the design, even down to the position of the engine to lower the center of gravity.

[@mawe6016]

It depends on your personal opinion if Toyota or Subaru looks and feels better. Both cars are very similar with some minor differences. I drive the 2023 BRZ and the outline for me looks better. Subaru in Germany is very rare and the STI parts are not necessary, but are looking great. It is a cool car concept, we are lucky to have these days. So enjoy every hour with your Toyota or Subaru. I think we will get not that much comparable stuff in the future. Other hypercars are nice, but they are not affordable for most of us. Regarding the shift gear or automatic transmission: I have no chance to compare that for the BRZ, but for a normal car with actual safety features like automatic distance controls a automatic transmission is great. I think at this sport car a manual brings more fun and it’s easy to handle. Just my point o view. Better to have one with automatic than having none 😊 Nice review and good additional content at the comments. Thank you all for that.

[@alaani]

Those backseats are for 'legless passengers'.

[@jfan4reva]

Yes the turn signal is dumb (the Savage Geese guy said he gets the urge to take a saw and chop it off every time he gets in), but nobody mentions the cruse control, It's nearly the same as the 1971(!) Toyota Celica (if you're math impaired, that's 50+ years old). it's not digial like in a Honda civic where once you set it, you can click it up or down and it adjusts the cruse in 1mph increments. It also has a 3 blink lane change mode where you just flip it once,and it blinks 3 times and then turns itself off. I'm going to miss both those. The sad thing is that to fix these things, it would probably raise the prince by $5000. Not an acceptable price increase in a "Driver's car", where you're just supposed to put up with inconveniences like that. But you should probably get one anyway. Rumors have it the replacement is a 3 cylinder turbo hybrid with BMW/Audi/Cadilac styling.

If you dont mind Kias, the Forte GT can be had with a manual and comforts.

if anyone bought the 2023 model, how long did it take for your car to come in? specifically in ontario canada. ik these cars take a few weeks-months depending on where u live but my dealer told me up to 6 months (ik its an estimate its not always accurate) and i called them not even a month ago and they told me they have no info on the car whatsoever (i ordered the basic auto in black but im not picky on the colour. i thought it would be a more common car so it would come in faster). i've already waited 6 months i want to know how much longer i could possibly have to wait. if anyone has a similar experience plz lmk!

[@lemmeknow5204]

7 months for my 6 speed

[@Mr99Burns]

All depends sometimes you get lucky

[@tugce_kilic]

[@tugce_kilic]

@@Mr99Burns its been 7 months almost im getting so impatient but i dont want to cancel it bc ive already waited this long anyway

[@ratyoke]

Love the rear floor mats

[@mawe6016]

[@sethi100]

No place for sunglasses?

[@bruhhhhmoment4848]

Is there an automatic option for this car

[@truvic5274]

Yes there is!

[@Mo0shii]

like the gt86 more tbh

[@MrVrob8]

Can you do a rear seat delete from factory?

[@phenamenol]

When is it getting sports car power ? Looks like the Supra’s little sister

[@toplarry]

I feel like I felt every bump and every noise. Other than that beautiful car

[@chrisgagne6489]

The 86 is less Subaru than you are giving credit. Manufactured and engineered/developed are much different things. Magna Steyr manufacturers the supra in Austria. Magen Magna Steyr had nothing to do with the development of the car. Subaru had the tooling and assembly line that could be easily adapted. So therefore manufactured it. Need to go beyond the engine to appreciate the differences and commonalities.

Sound is so cool

24 of the most common things you already knew about the 86

[@Fubbzie]

Toyota also put their dual fuel injection on the Subaru motor.

[@nareshsivabalan1597]

1st: it’s a JV between Toyota n Subaru 2nd: Toyota is the parent company of Subaru So, it’s a Toyota at the end.

[@geefim2144]

Should you go this or base Camaro LT1 ( v8 )

[@javierrosario6372]

Gr86

[@mylobinks3964]

I like the base more

[@camashaftsjourney4072]

I canNOT decide between this and the BRZ 🤧🤧🤧 or saving 20k more for a RCF

[@Mr99Burns]

I have this and consider trading for RC but probably won’t. RC very heavy

[@ROTORHEADPR]

So sad that Toyota themselves don't ha Pride on their brand anymore. If tjis would had been a 100% a toyota product im sure it would have sold 2X the amount they already have

[@jeannin.wallace2795]

...Toyota litterally is the biggest ans highest grossing manufacturer in the world. Over thousands of cars, trim, subtrim, models, concept models, etc. They made this car SPECIFICALLY as a way to ask its little sister brand being scion/subaru to help create a well affordable car that isn't as much as buying a house. Subaru is known for making unique trims and frames of sporty cars, Toyota needed a alternative coup frame compared to what they have currently, this creates a much affordable cheaper option as it helps BOTH brands. Buy gettinf Subaru to help with the production. Not to mention, GR86 is one of little to no cars that actually made it into production phase given the car market was crumbling. GR86 Is a Toyota car. Being proud and respected strong along side the mk5 supra, but as well as establishing great relationships with its sister brand being Subaru. Toyota owns .20 cents of every dollar Subaru makes. Which is alot** it only made sence Toyota went to Subaru ti create a well built introductory and very impressive for the price affordable car.
