People look too much at the numbers these days it's how it drives & feels

[@chrisdavidpham]

+Ian Townsend The car is also a lot faster than what the numbers would lead you to believe, and I'm not just talking about corners!

[@pleasetakeasip4556]

+Overtake did charmin pay you to advertise here? Lol

[@Brono25]

its not even that slow. Its not fast for a sports car. But people make it out that minivans will be overtaking you.

[@superelectic45]

It's not a sports car it's a GT coupe and a very good one. I agree about the power obsession people have missing the point - the most fun car I had was a Smart Roadster Coupe you had to drive it to understand it because the figures were terrible.

[@BlatentlyFakeName]

Yep, one of the best coupes you can buy today, in any price bracket IMO. Also it's not as slow as official figures suggest. But Toyota always seem to do that, it was the same with the Supra. Just look where it stands on Top Gear's powerlap board. On a track, it's quick.

[@subnegro9173]

I love my Toyota 86! I drive spiritedly everyday in it.

[@rabidrabbittt]

you have really good production value compared to the amount of subscribers you have, subbed :D

[@rmor093]

i just bought mine! people are focused too much on the numbers.. such a fun car to drive and feels amazing!!

[@dennisheinz9498]

As an owner of a white Aero myself: I love this car, even as a daily, every summer. I put it away every fall since I got it in 2013 (ordered the car in October 2012). Wing is an awesome part of the design and does not block any view. Subscribed! (feel free to check my 86 stuff out ^^)

[@Rawnfella]

Great editing and camera shots. Deserves more subscribers.

[@alexmoran731]

Found you in my recommended section. Great video. Subscribed. :)

[@Dr23rippa]

Nice video the intro was put together well!

[@jackh3437]

Pleasure to be an early sub 👍🏻

[@LoLPhuocDat]

good video! Deserves more subs!

[@JordieMotive97]

I've filmed this car on my channel and spoken to the owner as well, lovely car!

[@bradleythompson3547]

Subbed, good quality vids. Technical info isnt boring keep it up. Review a track tuned e36 if you come across one

[@Artalos1]

Great Video - as a owner I agree: It is a great daily and it is a great sportscar for a very good price. I also think it is rock solid. Unfortunately you did not tell about problems (flattering hood or others).

[@jayharper1894]

Artalos please explain? Test drove one myself yesterday an have gone home to think about it before I put down a deposit.

[@elgatovolador3226]

Great production!

[@davidwall7923]

donno why ppl r complaining but i love that wing... go bigger go home..

[@JR19k]

I agree I love the wing. makes it stand out

[@jlcy8313]

David Wall it’s super 90s. it seemed like ever car in japan a back then had a wing like that

[@zgSH4DOW]

Since the STi and the Civic Type R, I love that kind of wing But it doesn't fit this car in the slightest--in function or style

[@Synthwave89]

@@zgSH4DOW That's like, your opinion man.

[@JR19k]

man I love these cars. I love the big spoiler on them. makes them stand out. I will have one one day. and turbo it.

[@xrecon18]

That is like Keisuke’s RX-7 wing! Whoa that is HUGE!

[@laurapotter5300]

I now own this beauty ❤

[@urbanxphotography1]

Ace vid guys. Toyota shoud pay you commission, I've just switched from a maybe to a definite! :p

[@LedGaRRagE]

amazing Car! !

[@donphobos]

I think this is an epic vehicle. Kudos to Toyota for making such a great drive with RWD and LSD, when almost everybody is ditching driver cars and go heavy and FWD. I would love to have a GT86.

[@donphobos]

Limited Slip Differential.

[@seemslegit201]

Is there any website selling the aero kit?

[@012_ljk]

Needs a turbo! Hopefully mine will be getting one next summer, Fensport!

[@Arestas25]

Can you change the exhaust system without losing manufacturers warranty?. Cheers ;)

[@makina2022]

The way cars should look imo.. ready for the track.

[@FrankSlade1994]

Model of OZ wheel ? 17 or 18 ?

[@xailionheart711]

Nice car! I get kind of a supra vibe from the shape.

[@JackPott554]

You're wrong about the auto. Of course its not as raw as the manual, but its very good for an auto. Snappy in manual mode too. Try using this as your daily driver through central London and see which you would choose.

[@Yarra_Shejtan]

+JackPott554 I agree, i love my auto. Anytime the manual Vs auto subject comes up i just point them here... www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6485&highlight=Automatic Cheers

[@willdarling1]

Same here. For a car with no crazy secondary gearbox / clutch, the changes are VERY fast. Most racing setups are exactly what we have in an auto86, having three pedals and waving your arm around is a "Drivers Car" from the last millenium.

[@mzuzs6861]

I found this 2013 used with 36000 km on it, for 10500$ should i go for it ?

[@michaelw2263]

I wish my FR-S had the aero accessories :(

[@dekio9245]

Im 6 feet 2, can i fit on a 2010 gt86?

[@dha588]

is it super charged or turbo charged ?

[@giovaniarroyo9122]

What kind of wheels are those?

[@TheRed86]

Looks exactly like my car minus the bodykit. Mine has the same color and OZ Ultraleggera rims. 👍🏼

[@OvertakeFilms]

Very cool!

[@meadowz06]

Love the video. But most people cannot shift in 200 milliseconds. Not on a consistent basis. The auto can. I have 2 autos, 13 and 16. Love them both.

[@francophysique5192]

What wheels are those?

[@matthewmorton6462]

I just got a GT86 Aero, its the same one that's in this video

[@leveeyang]

Hi Matthew, I’m from the US, any chance you know where to get a set? Painted red as well.

[@jo23bulls]

6:47 ASAP nicee.

[@kevindolan7111]

Does anyone else think this body kit does not do this car any justice? It looks like a Celica.....

[@pleasetakeasip4556]

+Anthony Buscemi and so is a gt86 lol

[@p0613v]

Diligent Dividend left overs

[@JR19k]

celicas are nice cars. the gt86 is like a newer Celica. they look awesome. a little bit of modifying maybe a front lip. coil-overs and it'll look sweet.

[@superelectic45]

Damn, I was hoping the seats would be better than the Celica - I guess Recaros is the way to go.

[@dennisheinz9498]

superelectic45 The seats are great. I love them on the Nordschleife just as much as when I go on a 6 hour long ride through the valeys on curvy roads. Sportsfeel with comfort.

[@aerixx4970]

I've had faster cars, but this is the most fun one I've ever owned.

[@jerryqin4459]

How reliable is this? I mean I'm going into university, well this last up to 200000 km? How much Maintenance do you have to do for this, thanks

[@ahmadmohamad6384]

Jerry qin The boxer engine is very reliable and it is a Toyota. Just follow the service intervals and your good to go. Much cheaper than German cars to maintain.

[@jerryqin4459]

Ahmad Mohamad that is very good to be hearing, Thank you

[@aiman2191]

just saying that, my Celica 7thGen is now 250k++km and still pulling good

[@jerryqin4459]

+Muhammad Aiman Salahuddin I don't doubt a celica

[@ibrahimsher7868]

I own a Toyota Celica T sport (with Japspeed exhaust + TRD ecu) it's running between 215bhp or 220bhp the most and it hasn't gone wrong since owning it for 6 months. I know it's not a gt 86, but as a Toyota owner, I reckon this gt 86 will last you for a very long time if u plan to get 1. (Y)

[@f0rg0rr]

Lol, those are common in Australia, but the TRD is non existent in Australia so there's the trade off.

[@dealwithit2789]

Good video, could have done with researching far more as it didnt seem like the presenter knew a thing

[@dealwithit2789]

+Simon Addison I dont think you understand my point, the presenter should have researched the far more in order to give information to the viewers and not just guesswork with the owner giving all the info

[@shaeerhassan8588]

I would remove the spoiler they look much better without them

[@ipeeeky]

Shaeer Hassan noo, it's what makes the car

[@JR19k]

the spoiler is awesome. only boring people would remove it.

[@JR19k]

the spoiler is awesome. only boring people would remove it.

[@jorgnyoa3561]

I acually prefere the wing. Its a bit to much mabey. But it suits the car so well

[@ej254]

at 05:00 Toyota Bahrain is already selling a brand new 2JZ GT86, costs about $55k. No its not 2JZ from factory. its done by Bahrain Toyota dealer with the touch of E.Khanoo team (look in google) and yes it loooks very very oem build :)

[@MrShant007]

Its funny how people who don't know about Toyotas just call it the new Celica

[@ichwersunst]

Well isnt it kind of?Mix between the Legacy of the Celicas and the Corolla Gts...it least here in Europe^^

[@robertsantiago3102]

It's what the Celica should have been.

[@Din976]

I'm not here for the music, I'm here for the review and the sound of a car

[@1009sandhurst707]

I'm planning on picking on of these up but does anyone know if you can get rid of the massive wing on the back?

[@simonaddison2361]

You can take them off but I believe you will have some holes to cover up

[@GOLDENTO3]

Norsk24 it's just a package you can get extra

[@waynohh]

2:40 AT shifts in 0.3s, most regular MT drivers on track shift around 0.7-1.0s. I think you mean the AT ratios are longer. 4:30 Why is the TB and hoses all covered in green shit? Coolant is blue. 7:20 You may need to bend the frame inside the shoulder bolsters outwards so your back can touch the seat without pushing your shoulders forward.

[@DustyShedGarage]

+Wayne Watson yeah, even though the AT is goo for 130 mph and manual can do 140, they are very similar in gearchange, i dont quite thiink it's 0.3 seconds... thats on par with lamborghinis

[@waynohh]

MULTIBASHUR 1999 from the 80's maybe.

[@Cobb]

Oh man, an 86 with a 2JZ would be insane. You know someone will make a 1200HP 86 now.

[@p0613v]

Lol those wings looks like leftovers from 2000 Celica GTS

[@rhysblaney3121]

"I don't like the seats, on long journeys I get a bad back" *Has an awful posture and doesn't actually use the back/headrest* Mate, I don't think that the seats are the problem...

[@MonicaHolly143]

Takumi new car

[@gt86dude16]

"How long was this, that I won't get back of my life, 8 mins?" - "No I think it's 9 and half"

[@Hold.My.Tacoss]

Wing almost as big as the damn rear window lmao sheesh

[@dawoudjoufcaranguian5319]

Nice spoilers huh

[@Jdmdavid256]

It's a 86 takumi does it better

[@CharlieRoberts407]

your back hurts because of how your sitting!

[@1compaqedr8]

hunchback 100%

[@jdsim9173]

Should call it the Ricer kit, not Aero

[@72ndHUMAN]

Wings make me barf !

[@JR19k]

bore off

[@survivorq8]

worst body kit in history

[@pleasetakeasip4556]

I think Mexican Honda ricers can beg to differ lol

[@Deelber28]

Stuntihn MX lmaoo true
