New GR86 1st impressions from a Miata owner! Does it live up to the hype? Street drive before track!

FYI- this has the optional Performance package with Brembo brakes and Sachs dampers …. you might want to mention that! 😉

[@DriveItOut]

Excellent point! Those brakes were excellent. I do mention that in the next video where I go on track in the BRZtS. Thanks for watching!

​@@DriveItOutBRZ tS and GR86 performance while both have upgraded dampers, both dampers are made by different companies, Hitachi and sach respectively.

Great info!

Good honest review. Cheers 😊

Thanks for watchin!

Prior gen was lighter with more steering feel, but down on power vs this. I've owned a 2014 BRZ from new and still adore it and never been tempted to upgrade. After market support for this platform is like playing with Lego. I'd love seeing your impression of an older gen now that you've tried this though you do kinda have to drive like you stole it, but then that's part of its charm.

[@DriveItOut]

I absolutely need to get in the prior gen. They intrigue me quite a bit. Hopefully I can make this happen. I hope you continue to enjoy yours! Have you kept it stock? Thanks for watching!

It’s a miata with room for the dog.

Toyota will finally be ditching Subaru on this collaboration. Should be seeing the GR86 with a Toyota engine and a turbo. My local Toyota dealership has 5 new GR86 models on the lot and on sale, below MSRP.

[@DriveItOut]

It definitely will be interesting to see what happens. For now, i think the current GR86 is a great bang for buck sports car, even if purchased at msrp. Below msrp is borderline irresistible. Thanks for watching!

Bro they say that all the time, i dont buy it

[@pushslice]

Wow, seriously? times have definitely changed from the last time I stopped into the Toyota dealer ~18 months ago. What is the ratio of MT to AT examples @ the lot these days ?

World's most boring driver? "I'm not going to rev it to 7500 rpm. what!?

[@DriveItOut]

Sometimes we play nice with things that aren't ours.... There is a time and place. In the video that followed we took the BRZ on track and revved it out pretty good. Perhaps that will be more satisfying. Thanks for watching! We loved this car!

Miati & GR86 interiors are outdated 🫠🫥

[@DriveItOut]

They are simple and thats ok. More luxurious interior usually adds weight. Thanks for watching!
