What It's Like to Live with a 2024 Toyota GR86 (POV)

[@Azlan_]

Yoo dude, the clarity of your speech, the bright tone you bring, the good pacing and the well structured format with sweet transitions was honestly really refreshing to see and hear in a car review! I’ll be looking forward to your stuff bro! 😁🤙🏾

[@MilesPerHr]

Thank you for the supportive feedback! I'm glad you appreciate my videos 🙏

[@SUPRA-C8]

I absolutely love the GR86. The first car I bought, and I learned driving manual for a whole year (with KZbin and a racing simulator) to prepare for the car. It was the perfect introduction to enthusiast cars!

[@Bmontepeque11]

To me this is the greatest sports car ever made. Like a Cayman (The actual, best sports car ever made) but at a price where most people can afford it, that is what dreams are made of. The affordable sports car is such a spectacular thing, whether you like them small and delicate like the GR 86, MX-5 or big and powerful like a Mustang GT, to have something that delivers so much joy AND THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET TO OWN IT is so beautiful, this represents breaking free of the emptiness machine (i.e. having to buy 172748 cars to get a GT3 RS allocation or not being able to buy a new Ferrari despite having the money, you know, doing things you don't want just for the idea of owning something that is just a car at the end of the day, an awesome car, but just a car.) Long live cars like the GR 86 and thanks Miles I waited months for this one and it is as spectacular as I thought :')

@@Freestyleny Sure, it could be, within the segment it is a matter of taste, but I will defend my point that a sporty compact (i.e. Hot Hatches or Sports Sedans) will NEVER be as good dynamically as a bonafide sports car (Like the GR 86) But if you like the N cars more, sure man, I can't even disagree because they are really good :)

Great comparisons 👏🏽 I think some people don’t take in consideration the history of technology that progressed in the automotive industry over time. Vehicles became more efficient, faster, and more nimble. A common family car of the 90’s gets blown away by the average econobox of today. Regardless of the size of the engine or power, the formula of a good sports car remains the same. How it makes you feel by how it drives while delivering more smiles per gallon 🤙🏽

These cars are absolutely awesome. Waiting for a Hakone allocation but I may end up going with the normal car with a Performance Package. I'm not sure what that green is going to end up looking like, I'll have to see it in person. One problem with a special edition is that it doesn't make sense to mod it and I think I'd like to put some lighter weight components on the car to lose 80-100lbs. If you've never driven one of these or BRZ try to find one a take a spin. Probably the best driving car until around 100k.

The cupholders I don’t think are wildly different from most cars in manual, there’s gotta be a shift knob in the middle after all. Edit: also if there IS any examples of otherwise, I would actually not mind being corrected, I’ve just always seen manuals with the cupholders like right at the elbow

The "bothersome" turn signal stock is also something that would annoy the heck out of me! BMW do(did?) the same on their cars back in the 2010s (or something). Drove a 3-series back then and that was my main complain! Would not hesitate to get a GR86 though (even if I'm driving a manual MX-5 at the moment) just for the fun and engagement of the car!

So I think you are wrong about where to put your phone. Purchase a cheap wireless carplay adapter ($65) for your phone and then your phone can fit nicely in the slot in the armrest instead of putting it in the armrest cupholders. I have been using my BRZ this way for over a year.

[@level10boy]

Have a GR86, and I don't ever use it for long trips. The road noise is terrible and sadly the stock sound sound system is utterly terrible too and can't overcome the road noise. A bit of sound proofing in the door and new front speakers are a big improvement for just a few hundred bucks, but it should be better still honestly. Great fun otherwise, but fuel economy is also terrible due to such short gearing, 6th gear should be tuned more for economy. If you're not a die hard for a manual, a 2.0 supra is much better option honestly.

[@bearclaw5115]

Supra 2.0 is dead and at 47k not exactly a competitor. Get some earplugs or maybe swap out the loud stock tires.
