I just bout a 2020 Toyota 86GT in ablaze red 3 weeks ago. I’ve always wanted one since I saw one back in 2016 at the Toyota dealership near my house. My dad and I were there getting me a used car for my first car cause I just got my first job. I saw it in the showroom and knew I wanted one. My dad told me if I work hard enough, I can get one of my own. Well, 5 years later, after having a few small jobs from senior year up to end if 2017, got myself a career job in the shipbuilding industry, earn great money, and was finally able to afford my dream car. So, now I own my own 86 😊

Yep it's a better sports car than most people give it credit for.

@@HemiHalfCentury even this one looks way better than alot of cars within $30k of its price range. I'm surprised how people impressed with the looks of slot of cars on the road and I'm like what.. in example, the Honda Civic, the kia lineup, it isn't ugly but it's like someone took something basic and tried to add a lil pizzazz to it. The newer standards for meeting aerodynamics, interior space and being able to cram some additional mechanical gear is destroying styling and especially the curb weight of vehicles.

To this day, I still make any excuse I can to drive the car, and always have a smile on my face when I get home. I've been revisiting this video recently as I wait for delivery of my 2019 86 GT that i've traded in the brz for :) For a few months I was sure I wanted to move up to an STI, but after test driving a wrx and a tuned sti, I ended up back in the 86 due to how fun it is to bang through gears and put the tail out whenever you want while driving around town, all without breaking the speed limit.

I could totally feel the smile on your face driving this thing. Unfortunately, I'll have to let this car go in a few months since I'm becoming a daddy, but I will always remember the fun I've had.

I own a red 2017 auto 86 (also live in a super high traffic city). As much as I would've liked to own one in a manual, I'm delightfully surprised with the auto. It's shifting is very responsive, it handles so well, and you can swing the hell out of it (but you probably shouldn't). I feared that having it in auto wouldn't be fun but considering the car's merits, it's satisfying to drive. It could use more horsepower and better looking wheels though.

I got this exact car, except the great white instead of that beautiful blue. I love the 86. Hate how people send so much hate towards it because the low HP. Would it be nice for some more? Absolutely, gonna do exactly that with mine over the next couple years, especially focusing on getting rid of the torque dip between 4k and 5k RPM. But people focus too much on the lack of power of the car to realize how fun it is to drive. It's not a drag car, it's a track car. This car is made for the track, able to hold a constant speed through turns and curves, unlike plenty of cars with a lot of HP with a higher center of gravity than this car. I love reviews like this where they show the great things about the car instead of focusing on the "bad" parts. Overall, though, great car. Great review video

@Vinny Booboo @Vinny Booboo, but compare the price point between your garage and the 86. ;D

[@philbertmaghamil9231]

@Vinny Booboo not a car enthusiast, but more so a car lover. But isn't one of the major reasons why they won't add any more horses is because of its weight. Would be dangerously fast. Besides I think they would have to add more to the car to counteract the weight, this pushing for more funding towards the car/project. Unless I'm really wrong

[@TheCreative332]

@Vinny Booboo I agree with the point that it may have to little power compared to other modern cars. The reason is, because the GT86 is the spiritual successor of the AE86, which was also meant to be a cheap sportscar with good handling and the concept of raw engine feeling in mind. Turbo adds turbo lag and that contradicts the concept of direct control of the car. The market for sports cars with turbo was already filled with the supra. And afaik there are enough aftermarket turbo kits available for the 86 which can get it up to 300hp. Also turbo engines are maintenance-prone and will increase the maintenance costs.

I’m an older dude having a BLAST doing the twistties in an around our foothills and National Forest... Only, I opted for the auto with paddles as I can become buried in stop and go traffic. Every time I head out for “THE RIDE” I call it, I discover a new shifting point moving from Hand shifting to paddle shifting. At my age, I suppose Professional track drivers only use automatic these days. I would humbly suggest the 86 auto shift/Manual offers tons of control when entering a tight mountain road corner. The auto’s gear-down entering a corner in rapid succession if done too fast, too quick for too long can honestly cause upset stomach and headache setting in. Moving at 50 into a 20/25 MPH corner repeatedly left to right 100 yards then hard turn wears you out. I leave traction control on due to suddenly finding myself on serious sandy slippery covered pavement as the VSS kicks in to save me from going over the edge. Honestly guys, I can only stand maybe 2 to 3 miles of this wicked performance driving as this car sticks like glue on the road. If I were to have more power, more cornering capability-I would probably kill myself and lie trapped inside with hardly anyone noticing. Its over a 100 degrees this second. MY 86 OUT-COOLS Miata soft-top in a SERIOUS WAY! The air conditioner is simply marvelous. Do the back of hand test against the Miatas soft top then compare the 86 interior headliner hardtop. How can I describe convection oven broiling the top of you’er head on a hot summers day. Only downside. Previous back injuries have me stopping the 86 and doing stretching exercises ever 40 minutes. I set my cell phone alarm to remind me. Stereo: This Gentlemen Reviewer is exactly right on. I become so involved in my focused driving I rarely run my radio. Apply play? Pooh!!! I’m too focused on my enjoyable ride, I’m focused on being in the city going fast without honestly going “That-Fast” as say a Dodge Challenger SRT I drove before test driving the 86. Regards Premium Unleaded-it only amounts to a couple of bucks every month. I don’t care. Interior Room: Gigantic as compared to Miata. Your passenger will fully appreciate to roominess. 2019 Toyota 86 Base. Nothing fancy. Pure Fun

Thank you for that awesome input from your ownership experience! You hit the nail on the head!

Hello Joe it sounds absolutely amazing and drives pretty good. Also love your enthusiasm nowadays. I would buy a 2019 Toyota 86 GT actually if I had the money. I would still love to see the review of the 2019 Toyota Camry XSE V6 in white and black with the red interior. Thanks Joe.

[@RaitisRides]

I couldn't make it out to Toyota dealership this week because we have had a ton of rain here in Florida but stay tuned!

[@JayPatel-tx1zc]

@@RaitisRides Thanks Joe. I know I know I love the Camry XSE V6.

@17:00 You should swap those camera angles around the next time. As in put the cockpit camera in the top left and make the road camera the size of the screen. Great video Joe! 👍

[@SupernaturalDramedy]

Another great video review as always. I have a question for you. Would you recommend the Toyota 86 or the Ford Mustang since they're both in the similar price range? Thanks!

[@RaitisRides]

That is a touch question! They could not be more different from on another. You have to take them for a drive to really decide.

A set of sticky tires makes all the difference. I went to a set of Michelin PS4S and it transforms the car. Turn in is immediate and the car feels more direct and rolls less. As fun as the stock tires are for sliding, when you want confidence in corners the primacys don't have the grip.

[@RaitisRides]

AGREED!

[@JPEnjoi]

I bought mine last month. I got it in Halo color. Absolutely love this little car

[@RaitisRides]

Congrats on your 86! I am so glad that you are loving her!

[@JPEnjoi]

@@RaitisRides thank you very much! Look how much fun you were having driving her hahaha

[@HoofHearted2DAY]

Love my GT 86. My mate said "looks like it's moving when it's still" and I said, it's about as fast in a straight line lol Thing I love is I live (and almost exclusively drive) in a CBD so I don't have to get stupid dangerous illegal to enjoy the limits round urban roundabouts or corners, unlike faster cars that you need to track.

[@mocha-6957]

The Gt86 is my dream car damn

[@RaitisRides]

It is really sweet!

[@a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i93]

This car functions as a sports car. Not the type of car that make you look sporty outside but no manual shifting or handbrake. (referring to supra)

[@joecalobeer6396]

I started with a 2015 asphalt FR-S, then traded it on a 2017 Halo 86. Then I traded that on 2019 86 TRD SE. I drive’em like I stole’em! It would be nice to get rid of the torque lag around 3-4,000 rpm because then it would be a much smoother drive! More horsepower isn’t necessary because it handles so nice... such a fun car to drive!!! So needless to say, I’m in!

Great Review Raitis Rides. I was having trouble with KZbin, otherwise I would have donated to your channel, PayPal would be the way to go. I love the channel, your review style. Keep it up.

[@RaitisRides]

Thank you so much my friend! I really appreciate that!
