Toyota GT86: Why No Other Car Comes Close

[@toopyandbinoy8893]

We complain how modern cars are too sophisticated and a little too much, and when we do get a simple, feel good to drive car, people complain how there is no speed, power or is not sophisticated enough. Brilliant car this. Once toyota does stop the GT86, everyone is gonna be on their feet screaming how its the best thing in the world. Sounds familiar?

[@647killa]

You are so right my friend. I'm thankful for this car and hav been, as even the new GT3 does not impress me. I guess I love old skool cars and this car reminded me of my 240sx minus the turbo.

@@djorksolo8544 Well one of the main things about the BRZ/GT86 is that it should be cheap/affordable, if it has 350hp stock it'll cost a lot more. They made so if you want that power, it's very easy to do it yourself

[@djorksolo8544]

@@Chair991 Yes I know. A lot more in cost, not sure. The price would never be that big as the 718. Example if the price 30 k for the 200hp BRZ/GT86, it would be something like 40 k for a 350 hp version (maximum 45 k). Still more affordable than the 718 from far.

The market for affordable sports cars is a dying one that got revived by this car. Kudos to Toyota/Subaru, and curse those hippy's that prevented it from having a bigger motor!

[@justinr8526]

Why are all you children bickering about what's cheaper or setting better lap times or used to be cool 5 years ago? Are you a petrol head or just a Honda fanboy? Have any of you even driven it? It's a great car and I am personally very happy to see a rear drive sports car affordable enough for the masses being offered again. It's been too long. Enjoy it, whether you drive one or not.

[@stichy420]

I drove the FRS, not impressed one bit. In fact, If I had to describe the feeling of driving it, I would refer to it as time traveling to the 80's.... Underpowered, Style is already +10 years old, Radio IS from the 80's, felt like every button you press is going to break.. And why have back seats that no one can sit in? I mean come on, a 5 year old would struggle to sit correctly back there with someone in the front seat... If this were the 80's I would say cool car, but it's 2014, it's dated at best.

[@pumpkin1escobar]

stichy420 its cheap, its rwd and has 200hp.....its not ment for your grocery getter needs, its a SPORTS CAR not a fwd honda.

[@0nkelD0kt0r]

pumpkin1escobar A Mazda RX8 though was not that much more expensive and did a lot of things much better. It had usable rear seats, had a little bit more power, has a better interior, more comfort and handled as good. If you absolutely want a brand new car you would need to take the GT86 but for that money you get a nearly new RX8

[@pumpkin1escobar]

Un1qZ then you would have to deal with the RX's biggest problem, the rotarty. ***** in canada they are about 25k. Honda's aren't sports cars unless its a type r, this is coming from someone who has an 06 si.

[@justinr8526]

***** They're 25k base. Not cheap, but the average price paid for a new car is significantly higher (32k)so... yes. Affordable. I see them all over the place. And I picked on Honda because they discontinued all their good cars (s2k, Integra, CRX, etc) and ruined all the good things about the cars they have (Civics are now large, heavy, everything is FWD...). I have an old Accord lol I don't dislike Hondas, I'm just sick of the fandom that exists around certain makes when people should really judge individual cars and appreciate all the different ways a car can be good. Since when did liking things become so controversial?

I never really liked the GT86/FRS/BRZ until now. I always thought it was a little bit too slow, and bemoaned the fact that it didn't have more like 250 bhp from a turbo four like the Focus ST. But you kinda changed that. The car doesn't need heaps of power to be good, just enough to be fun.

Japan probably started the drift scene but I doubt if any country popularized it more than America. Just saying.

I would buy this car over everything else. I love the analogue feel of this car. Even the electric steering feels like a hydraulic. The only thing stopping me from this car is torque.

[@lihisluikku]

The GT86 actually has four traction control modes. The fourth one is sort of hidden. 1. On, default 2. Sports mode, sorta off but corrects a bit 3. "off", still corrects just a bit to keep you safe 4. Konami code mode, completely everything off To do the 4th one, you need to warm your engine to operating temperature. You then have to do a sequence of handbrake pulls and brake pedal pushes. I don't remember it off the top of my head, but you can google it by the "BRZ/GT86 handbrake dance" or something. After you are done, you start the car and now it is in fully unrestricted, all electronic helps off mode.

[@admin4143]

Hi cheeky what do you recommend an auto or manual

[@sterlingroberts6240]

The GT86 is actually at the top of my dream car list, but a 3 liter(maybe arbitrary, but it should equate to a supposedly much "needed" 50% boost in power), 300 horsepower(again, arbitrary, but I feel like it's an incredibly solid amount for a car like this), horizontally-opposed six-cylinder(for a butter-smooth engine) version with an even 50/50 weight distribution(ideal for street driving and amateur track use) and 3,000 pound curb weight(a very reasonable number, especially with higher-grade materials) would be a force to be reckoned with, but still an absolute blast to drive! It would likely also put the average driver's torso/head in the dead center of the vehicle(an ideal location for experiencing various g-forces), while adding a bit of hood to this already beautiful form... Tell me I'm wrong. Edit: This concept had a bit of mid-engine dreaming mixed in that isn't compatible with the idea of moving the driver to the center of the vehicle while lengthening the hood...sorry. So, either my mid-engined dream or a longer engine bay.

Why get the automatic version? For me it was a no-brainer, I tried both cars and maybe it's just my lack of shifting skills, but I don't think I will EVER shift as fast and smooth as the automatic, especially when accelerating fast. Also, as a daily commute car for a regular driver like me, the auto gives more time to feel the handling of the car because I don't need to concentrate on shifting. The auto gearbox also has this sport mode where it keeps the RPMs high when braking for a turn, so there is immediate power when leaving the turn. So I got the automatic transmission version of this car, and I love it, thank you very much ;-)

Yes, I do like the GT86, but it wasn't the first car like that. In 1987 in the United States, the chevrolet corsica was produced. It had about the same height off the ground as the narrator showed in the GT86, a 3.1 liter 6 cylinder motor along with a 2.2 liter 4 cylinder motor during the last 4 years of production (1992-1996. I have the '96 4 cylinder version) Since the chevy emblem on my car is black, on a black grill, and the size of your index finger, most people think it's an import. It is also INVINCIBLE! I'm not kidding. The car I have is 18 years old now and has never had a problem. It is forward wheel drive (which can be good or bad depending on what you like), but the power and roar of the engine makes up for that. The fuel economy is also amazing along with the price ($1800 for my car in perfect condition). The car is also a foot wider than a smartcar which makes it good for cities full of 1999-2003 mustang drivers who think they own the road. They will kill you where I live. If you found this interesting, look up the chevy corsica. if not, sorry I wasted 2 minutes of your time.

[@geoffreykrenn9671]

Being the stupid teenager I am, I went 100 miles per hour the other day and the engine sounded like a ferrari 458 once the overdrive kicked in (I saw/heard one a couple of minutes later). The corsica's limit is 120 with only stock and 140 with a turbocharger.

Ok, the S2 only has two seats, but it was pulling off similar tricks for many years before the '86 showed up. I guess depending on your manufacturer allegiance, or whether or not you have to have something brand new, those others might not cut it. But they're arguably as good as, if not better than, the Toyota.

[@shanenaidu213]

Great video! Sooooo well made! Like!

[@scottrc5776]

You should do more car reviews

[@matthewgamez8615]

Whoever hates on this car either is just that, a hater, or has never driven one. I currently drive and own a '14 FR-S 6MT and love it. My last car was a single turbo '05 Mustang GT with a FULL suspension set up, and I still enjoy the FRS leaps and bounds more.

[@TheGandaCanal]

love your channel!

[@NewtMedia]

I want one so bad. Glad you guys did a review!

[@Uberdude6666]

Too bad that by the time I'l be able to afford one, they'l have phased out the manual gearbox completely...

[@someweeb3650]

Just wait for someone to make a manga where a delivery driver uses this.

[@J.funderberker]

Sooo it's a Subaru with Toyota badges... apparently there's some talk about a brz sti. Should be interesting!

[@karikajansri2137]

and scion FRS

[@Corkoth55]

karikajan sri GT86/BRZ/FRS are literally the same car. made in the same factory.

[@arianwinanto6299]

with different badges, slightly different interior, and suspension settings

[@KurumaDesigns]

Arian Winanto Don't forget bumpers and exhausts.

[@AnHRTBus]

WRX STI: for when it snows. (clip of the WRX sliding through snow) BRZ STI: for when it doesn't (clip of the BRZ sliding on pavement) boom- there is the marketing advertisement.

[@mikecassey4972]

There are 4 traction control modes. ON, VSC SPORT, OFF and COMPLETELY OFF.. The COMPLETELY OFF is done by the "pedal dance"... No more GHOST VSC.

[@BondBought]

They talked about it in 2012 the brz sti and they can't fit a turbo + intercooler they claim as well as they want to reserve that turbo and awd for the wrx sti.

[@AnHRTBus]

this car was built for the "bendy bits" as you brits call it. it's not going to have that top end speed, nor even the handling you think it should (blame those prius tires, put on there for that exact reason) but it will nose around those turns like an angel. put some fatter pirelli's on there, and you have a superb handling machine; that will be hard to break lose even with the traction controls off. it's a wonderful drive, plus with subaru and toyota''s sister company scion making parts, customizing one will be easier than a honda in a few years. this car is so well marketed that even journalists have no clue what to make of it yet. it's only drawback? the price. yes, you can buy more car for the same amount, you could even buy a new mini and say it has just as much fun in it as the BRZ/FRS/GT86: but for all that, you wont get a reliable boxer, rear wheel drive, manual, damn near perfectly poised and balanced roadster. And I feel this is more of a roadster, then the sport coupe that is it's legacy; the AE86 Trueno, also known as the corolla everywhere else.

[@SuperBombbud]

he said something about a turbo. it doesnt have a stock turbo right?

[@Elwood32617]

It seems as if "driver's car" is a title used when a car doesn't make enough power to get the driver into trouble.

[@crankypipo]

Its mid 2019 and trust me some people still dont know what model or make it is

[@StyloGFX]

Why are you asking a guy that draws his eyebrows about cars lol 3:28

[@storyclips]

Great review and a iconic car:-)

[@devilinsideme23]

330whp tune? Where? Evo x has 291 crank hp around 240+ whp for the grs. The mr version has less due to the dct. I got a tune full exhaust(dp,hfc and catback) bigger intercooler and drop in running on 91 oct. Got around 300 whp. My car was the mr btw. I felt the frs was slow coming from an evo. But the driving experience it gives. The way it makes you work and the rewards it returns is priceless. That feeling cant be seen on paper w/c most of the people here uses to argue. 200hp felt balanced on the car due to it being only 2,7xx lbs. Anyways i encouraged frs owners to get atleast a tune, drop in filter and billet power blocks to get 237 crank hp. Safe, best bang for buck mod than exhaust intake. Makes the car more enjoyable imho. Goodluck w/ ur decision either way =)

[@Daniel-hy3xp]

Im happy it only got 200hp. Taxes are too high for high power cars. Can always tune it afterwards to get some more horses

[@BinnenkortHoger]

Driving a toyota celica from 2000 atm. Have to say that I want to know how the gt86 rides.

[@Kaydje]

It's 2019 and I bought a brand new one (manual obvs) Honestly, the buyers remorse went away the moment I started driving it. After starting and stalling a bunch cuz I'm a meme and only drove a motorcycle or automatic transmission car before, this thing proved to be the most fun I've had on 4 wheels. It's forgiving for a beginner like me, but at the same time, always teases me with a peek through the doorcrack to the fun beyond my skill level. It's no streetlight racer but that's kid shit anyways.

[@JonathanNichollsjono]

We don't want those folks to know what it is. It keeps the price low to buy several, then sell them for lots when they eventually do find out...

[@nicholasparks0077]

the birth of a very detailed legendary car

[@MrInternetDude]

Nice job guys

[@CarThrottle]

Cheers dude!

[@symmetry08]

Well, most people are not real sport-car drivers and those who needs feeling of rush, wants to have a lot of power from standstill and up to highway speeds. So, what they really they want is bigger engine while driving it prestigiously. They don't need complete balanced chassis and they need practicality with beauty on it a bit at least. For this reason this car is for purists.

[@Dafastso]

the only thing wrong about the gt86 is how wide its body is. if it were 5% or 10% narrower it would be perfect

[@Afeeq1011]

clearly i haven't dug deep enough on Carthrottle youtube because i never seen Adnan on video reviews before..

[@doubletapproductions]

I would get this car because I love handling, but I love it with a combo of speed! And I can't be slower than my mom in her Porsche Cayenne S!

[@aurelianpetre93]

well you can supercharge it or turbocharge...!!! the engine does well with 5 pounds of boost without changing any engine part :P

[@doubletapproductions]

Auras Secuianu Thats true, but how much hp will it be producing, and the warranty will be gone

[@zlyable]

lol my mums Accord V6 will leave this car.

[@RickyOdin]

zlyable please explain? pretty sure an accord weighs way more than a gt86...

[@BodenM]

ninteh The Accord V6 is pretty porky, but it's also got a not-inconsiderable amount of power. The recent models all have over 270HP, the current model has about 300.

[@xvpboyx]

I love how people think a car needs to have massive amounts of horsepower and torque to be a good or fun car to drive....

[@RFSxBANSHEE]

People do the same for mine lol they ask what it is. Some person asked if it was a Saturn and I said "._. Umm.. We'll see they don't make saturns anymore.."

[@Plurquest]

im going to miss this car... because we know its going to go where all other affordable fun cars go.... the cancelled project line

[@edmaluf]

all it needs now is an 86 (hundred) red line limit.

[@JeromeDH92]

This car is the absolute best to enter the supercar world!
