I have one in burnt orange. Been living with it for 9 months as a daily, and have to say it's been great. I paid 17k for a 17plate with 17k miles, probably a bit expensive but overall it is a great car. I agree that you have to drive it aggressively to be rewarded which is why I opted for a manual. However I also spend a lot of time in traffic and it's pretty comfortable, more comfortable in fact than my old 52 plate Corolla. Good review btw. 👍

[@Backs4more]

Interesting. I have to disagree with one major thing. You say it’s a good second car. My partner used hers as a workhouse. It was used everyday for a 60 mile commute, right through the winter too. We live in the Scottish highlands and with good winter tyres on 16” wheels it handles snow and slush with ease. With the rear seats down there is a fair bit of room. She used to throw bags of compost and manure in there, stuff for the tip, bundles of decking boards, in fact, all sorts of crap. In the summer back on its 18” wheels it was used to go on holiday with 500 mile drives down to England. They are an awesome every day car :)

[@HighPeakAutos]

Good point!

[@Regan995]

why would you put smaller tyres on in the winter wouldent that remove some of the already very limited ground clerance

[@azza1793]

Dub 420 winter tyres as far as i am aware are not low profile so would need smaller wheels

[@Backs4more]

Dub 420 because you want a taller side wall to allow tyres to flex more and get better grip. The rolling diameter of the tyre is identical.

I was actually thinking of replacing my old 00 gts but the 86 is about as underpowered the stock celica was. Probably gonna go with a mustang ecoboost instead. More potential for the money.

[@DeltaAnt1000]

@@177SCmaro Two completely different cars for different things. Mustang will be way more comfortable and shove harder at low rpm but the 86 is the better proposition for stuff like AutoX but will punish you for everyday driving.

[@177SCmaro]

@@DeltaAnt1000 They're not completely different. One is a pony car (basically a combination of a muscle car and a sports car) the other is a sports car. There is some overlap. And the mustang ecoboost beats the 86 at just about everything except a very tight road course. If the 86 had another 70-80 hp and a better power band then it would be the other way around. Unfortunately to make an 86 do that costs more than an ecoboost so you might as well get the mustang unless your heart is set on a pure sports car. There is individual preference but the ecoboost objectively performs better out of the box in more categories. The lackluster power to weight of the 86 kills it stock but it does look to be "driving a slow car fast" type of fun.

I've only been driving around 5 years nearly, and owned a 124 (Fiat) and Mk3 TT but had to step down to a standard A1 after moving to London. I'm on the horizon of moving out soon and I've had my eye on this for a while, and I have to say this video I think may have just tipped me over in favour of securing one this year! What you said about it being an "ideal second car" resonates with me because I work from home, so my only time spent in the car is for long (fun) trips up the country, or for leisure meaning my primary car always feels like the average second car.

Toyota created the GT86 with the mindset of producing a low-powered, lightweight chassis with great handling and skinny tires, making it easy to throw into corners for some tail-happy action. Like most of Toyo's, Mitsu's and Subaru's sporty'ish models they kept also the tuning scene and aftermarket in mind. and there is what the real fun starts, for about 4k you would be able to customize your car to a street legal fun machine that beats the hellout of the Audi TT RS or Beemer M3/4 yep i definitely would consider the GT86, but nowadays i'm too old to pick up girls with a high revving engine, and my wife wouldn't approve.

It probably will be. Thats the way things are going

Please do a review of the Mercedes SLK would love to hear your thoughts on this if possible. Having said that I may consider this car in the future as well I love the growl when you put your foot down.

merciless6000 Which year SLK? I’ll try and do one 😉

@@HighPeakAutos Oooo I was thinking 2012 model, that would be awesome if you can :D

Did they tell you that you have to remove a lot of tubing etc and lift the engine above the chassis rails just to change the spark plugs? I test drove one of these and completely agree with your initial assessment. If someone gave me one of those I would sell it.

The most honest and accurate review of a GT86. I should know, I have one.... :)

[@HighPeakAutos]

David John Thanks! How has it been?

[@davidjohn4835]

@@HighPeakAutos The only two things I dislike is the cheap interior and spring on the clutch pedal. The power isnt even really an issue, I rarely get to open her up with todays traffic, but when I do and it hits +5000 revs its plenty fast.

Hi David, I'm thinking to buy one for daily use. Please give me some feedback of the manual version, pros contras anything :) Thank you :)

Ray H Always loved the look of the GT86 looks great in burnt orange, but alas I can't convince the wife to get one.
