    The reason they tend to put Alcantara on the bit above the gauge cluster is because leather and plastic *can* reflect light and sometimes be distracting (it's usually not a problem, but in a lot of higher end sports cars that are intended to be driven on race tracks and have drivers that cannot be distracted, it can make a difference). Alcantara is a comparatively more expensive material to source and work with than pleather, plastic or real leather, so it isn't often found on the cheaper versions of sports cars

    I bought this car after my 2021 Mazda Miata was totalled in a flood. It's great and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who enjoys driving a car with good handling. It's not particularly fast but that's not why I bought this car (nor the Miata). I considered a Supra but it was too heavy and too expensive. If you're watching this video because you're actually considering buying one, I say go for it because I don't think you'll be disappointed, as long as you're aware of what this car is good at (corners) and what it's not good at (being fast in a straight line). It's amazing how even though it weighs 400lbs more than the Miata, it still handles just as well/delicately.

That'll make it much quicker sure, but still not particularly fast. Anyone could spend similar amount of money on an American V8 and be wayyyy faster. Any serious power upgrades to the BRZ would require upgrading almost everything else (clutch, transmission, differential). Not worth the money making this particular car fast.

    I think I would rather have a naturally aspirated engine in the GR86, as much as I'd want it to have more power. Aside from the price, naturally aspirated cars simply have a more natural and communicative feel to them, which I think is better considering that this car puts more emphasis on handling and the way it drives rather than power and acceleration.

You might be speaking from an efficiency or reliability standpoint, but someone looking for a good project car to tune and race might not care if it means better performance.

    The alcantara on top of the gauge cluster could be to prevent/reduce reflection (atleast a shiny reflection). A plastic cluster top could create a reflection on the windscreen. Considering the depth of the cluster cover and the exposure due to the angular windscreen, the reflection of the cluster top can be quite big and hinder driver visibility.

    Bought one of these when my old BMW finally reached the end of its road.
    The thing that most impressed me was how similar the quality of the driver feedback was (brake/accelerator/steering) to my outgoing car, and how much better it was than the newer BMW models I test drove.
    The thing that sealed the deal was how light and agile the GR86 felt, even when accounting for a loss of HP and torque that I was used to. It is so nimble and so fun to drive.

While you can enjoy the present the feeling of "how many times am I going to be able to do this" is ever present in the back of your mind.

    I think the gauge cluster is covered in Alcantara to reduce glare off the dash board. Kind of like how rally cars have flocked dashboards to absorb light.

    Thanks Doug. I’m currently an owner of an A91 Supra and will be trading it in for a GR86 in Trueno Blue.
    The Supra is wonderful and is in fact a bullet of speed but there is a lack of character being an automatic. Now I support both automatic and manuals but something about a nimble rear wheel drive manual car seems more fun.
    Seeing this review elevates my excitement to pick up my new GR86 which arrives in 3 weeks.

    Pressing the "race mode button" does not turn of traction control, it just slightly loosens the stability control/traction control. If you start to spin (wheels) or start to skid, it reels you back in with the breaks. To turn it off, you hold the "off" button down, to the left.
