Bringing the peak torque down in the RPM band, in my opinion, was the best improvement they could have made. The power is much more accessible there, especially for the non-manual cars. Add in the improved steering, improved sound, improved power, and better suspension on top of that and you have a genuine successor to the outgoing model.

Thanks for another really good and well informed video from Ratties Rides. I owned the first model 86 in 2013 in auto , it was a great car with wonderful handling but as a daily driver for me absolutely not. The suspension in the early models was definitely meant for track only so I would like to know if this has been improved with the ‘22 model. I’ve been a very happy “smile on my face” MX5 owner for some years and just bought a ‘21 ND Roadster with BBS wheels, Brembo brakes and upgraded suspension package known out here as the RS model. Yes the Suspension is a little stiffer in this model but definitely still a car you can live with day to day. The new 86 would have to be similar in nature if Toyota was ever to woo me over rather than staying with MX5 I look forward to having a drive when the new 86 is released here! Subaru Australia has started to take advance orders on the BRZ from today, I’m not sure what Toyota is doing yet.
