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?
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.
true
Déjà vu with the AE86...
Well said
I've owned and driven many cars, but the GT86 is just different, it stands out from the crowd, and that's why I'm keeping mine till the day I die...or until...you know...the engine blows up or something, in that case, I'll just throw in a new engine and off she goes at 800000kms on her XD
After watching this alone in my room i heard someone crying and there is no one so i decided to search my room and it was my wallet crying and i started crying too. :,(
haha
Mikkel Størum LOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
cmn, it is not that expensive for this kind of car.
Just buy a used one for 15k and just change the oil. These flat 4 cars are reliable.
The toyota gt86 spread like wildefire. I will grin when I see a lambo fly past but scream with happyness when a GT86 cruises past. Is that normal
Yes thats completely normal
prototip99 I was starting to think it wasn't
Ayrton Bondzanga Unfortunately I have only seen one on the road..
Every time I see one I message my mate raving about it... he hates it haha. He drives a 550hp ls1 holden ute so he rips it a lot
Laurenz Baumgartner im lucky to own a frs. Its unbelievably fun
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
AnHRTBus The BRZ STI Isn’t a car.
@@cfacopyrightfreeaudio2482 It was only a concept yes, just a shame they didnt produced it. With 350hp it could be a very good rival to the 718 !
@@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
@@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.
@@cfacopyrightfreeaudio2482 oh boy
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!
The Spiritual Succesor Of AE86, 86-239, Means "Thank You AE86"
"...what it will do though is put a massive smile on the face of every motoring enthusiast in the world" ~ J. Clarkson on Toyota GT86
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.
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.
stichy420
its cheap, its rwd and has 200hp.....its not ment for your grocery getter needs, its a SPORTS CAR not a fwd honda.
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
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.
*****
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?
Whenever somebody tells me this car isn't fast enough what I take away from that conversation is: this person doesn't know how to drive.
Snore Lax yup, I own one and when my dad drove it a couple times he said it was comparable to a civic. And what did I tell him? You're shifting at 5500, the thing revs to 7400 😂
@Phil Martin It's just a story of numbers for most people nowadays. If the brochure don't display 400HP, people will just ignore without testing ! But a GT86 with 450 HP could just beat more powerful cars thanks to its amazing chassis and balance!
can't wait until these get below 10K in the 2020's/30's
You can alredy get it for 18.000€
BluePWR thats not even close to 10k m8
hannes something bought mine for thirteen grand Canadian lol
Huss Ali how ? Wa.... no... just no. 13 grand for that?! Your either the luckiest Canuck around or lying.
playerDJFL I got mien for 11k
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.
My friend, I was driving down a windy mountain road last night, and as I turned those sharp corners, I realised any more power and it would be a hindrance in such tracks.
I think that's the compromise between those two in particular. Sure 50 more hp would be awesome in my frs but I wouldn't ever buy a front wheel drive car like the st is. I don't care how quick it is
the 86 comes from AE86
This is not anything like an AE86, it has a Subaru boxter engine >.>
Zhemin Lin
It is a homage to the AE86.
Both are FR,
Both are good drift cars.
IIGrayfoxII 86 isn't that great for drifting
IIGrayfoxII Yer but its a Subaru Boxer >.> so its not anything like an AE86
Obviously, haha
People who hate this car, obviously have never driven it, I've owned mine since I was still going to school, my first real car, and to this day, not even a little thought has gone into my head about getting rid of it, she always puts a smile on my face when I see her and makes me laugh with joy when I drive her. Even one f my friends deadass hated the car, but once he had a little spin around the block it became his new dream car XD funny how that stuff works.
I don't care what anyone says about the 86 being underpowered, it is an amazingly fun car to drive, and just has a great feel to it. I purchased mine right after having test driven both the 86 and the genesis. The genesis just feels sloppy and looks like a boat if you ask me.
On the track less is more.
I really like the guy reviewing in this video 👍 keep it up and you could very well be the next Chris Harris
Wow, Minura, Chris Harris is one of my heroes, so I feel a bit inadequate being mentioned in the same sentence as him!
Thanks though, I do appreciate it :)
Those who don't understand WHY THEY MAKE THIS CAR will never appreciate it enough.. The 86 was made as a tribute to the drift legend car toyota corolla levin/trueno AE86 back in the 80's.. Its a drifting car in spirit.. (if you don't know what is drifting.. It means you are an american)
Lol I doubt many American's who are remotely interested in cars don't know what drifting is. Wasn't the Fast and Furious franchise, not to mention Tokyo Drift, an American franchise? Was there any other single thing that brought the drifting fad and movement to the masses than Tokyo Drift and the Fast and Furious movies? Japan probably started the drift scene but I doubt if any country popularized it more than America. Just saying.
its not exacly for drifting its more of a car which is all about handling.....yes ik it can drift rly nice but you know what i mean
I knew what drifting was before I watched Tokyo drift and I am american
@@draggboy The video "Pluspy" and Initial D blew up drifting more. Sorry.
Cool man. Don't know what those are, but I'll take your word for it. You're probably right but that seems pretty crazy as an American, where most of America knows drifting because of the massive FF franchise. I dunno, I drive an STI, so I don't care quite as much about drifting, I was just making assumptions a year ago when I made that post. What are Plumpsy and Initial D, anyway? I feel like a dummy if these are so large that they introduced American car culture to drifting more-so than the legendary FandF franchise...
Good review but speak slower, sounds like your in a rush. Can't understand you sometimes.
Thanks for watching John, think I was probably in a rush to get back in the GT86 driver's seat ;) But will bear that in mind.
+TheNumber1John for shorter video maybe?
I'm 16 and I'm saving up to one. Now I've worked up 4000 pounds. But in my country(Norway) they cost 30 000 pounds used. But every little helps! And I really love it!
loved it! can't wait to own one.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the vid! :)
I can't wait to buy the M2, I prefer an hot hatchback than Gt86, it's only my wrong opinion:)
I love mine.
I ca t believe how many ignorant people who hate the FRS/GT86 here... and how many that doesnt know shit about cqrs acting like they do...
Yeah, these are the coolest cars in the world.
Still want an S2000.
Good luck
I had this car for 15 months now, greatest car I even owned, more fun than my WRX, 350z and supercharged civic I had. The 86 as a "whole" is hard to describe until you experience one. The genesis and mustang are close in price, but they are a totally difference driving experience, and they don't even come standard with a LSD, the 86 does!
The 2011+ V6 has LSD standard. I would know. I own a 2012.
also known as the FR-S in the states
That is cause it is a Scion and not a toyota.
IIGrayfoxII Scion is made by Toyota
*****
But it is not a toyota.
Scion is another make but is owned by toyota.
IIGrayfoxII when you open up the hood on a scion it says toyota, when you look at the emissions sticker on the hood it says toyota motor co. i get what your saying but its still a toyota
***** The truth is that , They are all made by Subaru on its plant for scion and toyota ....
I have an 86, it's just fast enough but is so much fun down a bouncy, twisty back road.
Plus, skids.
love your channel!
Great vid : )
I have a GT86, and I grew up where this was filmed (I think); it's an excellent road for the 86 and there are parts that I can take quicker than in my old S2000s, so good is the handling : )
I like this review... short and simple.
Great video! Sooooo well made! Like!
It's 2017 I bought mine for a fun weekend car at the end of 2015. Iv seen the new 2017 option come out and I'm still so happy with my purchase. I am curious to know if they will drop a new shape in the future though.
I want one so bad. Glad you guys did a review!
come to Australia. you will be amazed how many 86/brz you can see in five minutes city driving ( at least 2).
Love that intro!
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. Yes, 200 hp is enough for its weight but it needs about 200 ft-lbs of torque as well to go with it. 250hp with 200+ tq, and your looking at the best car in many years for many years to come.
ehh the torque isn't that bad, its pretty punchy at low RPMs much more so than my "torquey" WRX until you get into boost
somanymods
idk why people look at specs when they can test drive it
and i bet, wrx feels sluggish off boost. hell fast on boost though
***** specs dont mean shit if it doesnt feel fast imo...
driving it is everything
Jared Tate Who the hell drives fast cars slow? You might think your driving an FRS fast until you pull up next to a fast car. reality check!
harlemkiid149 Plenty of people get 300+hp utes etc. and spend most of their time accelerating to 50km/h in the streets :) It's all about driving the car closer to the limits for some people. And not just in a straight line...
Great review!
Thanks Melker!
Finally, a video that doesn't talk about how slow the car is. Good Job!👍
Great review and a iconic car:-)
Just about to order the 2017 model of this. Excited doesn't even come close to describing how I'm feeling!
Why the fuck would any one think that looks like a supra
Funny that Initial D's main character drives both an Impreza and an AE86, and that manga/anime is a decent contribution to the AE86's popularity.
Toyota's offering a Fujiwara Tofu Shop edition of the GT86 too ^-^
in the 3th movie takumi was driving the GT86 btw. and i think in the future the gt86 will be as popular as ae86 is now
I hope they continue to make the 86 till 20 years later so i can purchase that
Always wanted a RX8 Mazda but the reliability issues put me off. The GT86 seems to be the same recipe, I like the idea that the car is built for handling and to be agile 😀
Loving Lost in Las Vegas as the intro song
You should do more car reviews
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.
Can't wait to get my own.
I don't know where he from but here in cali that car is everywhere and very popular even since 2014 and before
Already planning on getting it
Nice job guys
Cheers dude!
i own a GT 86 and as far as road handleing goes its a stunner
They are so popular here in Australia (the most popular transmission is the paddle shift) I want to get one with the extras like the huge spoiler paddle shift and the bronze metallic paint
A lot of the so called "AE86 fans" are calling this car shit, but do remember, when the AE86 was new there were people like you with the same arguments as you.
+Eggly Bagelface I am an AE86 fan and I actually adore this car.
It has driving characteristics that are actually a lot of fun on the road and has enough power to wake you up.
This isn't really the best track car in my opinion, but it is the best car for twisty, empty roads. Just like the AE86 is actually. It shares the same philosophy when you think about it.
Bas van der Meij It’s the AE86’s spiritual successor.
Eggly Bagelface thank you
My uncle got the automatic version around the time they came out and it is just a truly magnificent car in every way!
When i got mine I chose auto as well... Regretted that decision ever since... LOL
this guy said "Subaru Gt86" lmfaooo
Toyobaru Br86
toyobarion br86S
Suyota.
FrZ 86
You can all talk shit and say other cars are better, but you will never understand the magnificence of this car until you drive it yourself. As a PROUD owner, I can say it is simply perfection. Great review car throttle!
Ladies and gentlemen, Chuck Norris has spoken. And he owns a GT86.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The exhaust sound is nostalgic because it is almost similar coming from an AE86.Try put in a track record and it will come out really fast
Had mine for nearly a month now. Worth every penny, 150% fun driving!
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.
Im buying a brand new white brz soon. This car will be my baby for a a long time :)
I own a BRZ (Manual), happy to answer any questions for any people questioning if they should buy one :)
I for one completely agree with the review, the car is excellent and such a passionate joy everytime you enter the cockpit.
It's not a question of if, but when. Probably next year, my clio 172 still has some life in her. GT86 will be a perfect replacement. Lightweight drivers car, fun and cheap on fuel/running costs - compared to heavy and expensive turbos, which guzzle fuel like camels. Not interested in those.
Hi cheeky what do you recommend an auto or manual
The girl who just goes "I haven't got a clue" was kinda pretty. Love this car though need to own one.
the concept of this was actually called the Toyota FT-86 which stood for future Toyota 86, a reference to the AE86. The Larger FT-HS is actually the FT-1 concept better known as the new supra/2000gt.
Its got good handling, quickness and I bet its good on fuel too. Its only a 2 litre and is reliable too.
I already have a Toyota Celica.
Hopefully hard work will pay off in the future to get the GT86.
There fun cars!
I get 27 mpg on mine, lasts me about a week
Own one, very happy with it.. handles awesome.. not very fast, but i don't need it to be, i have done breath mods, and will tune once out of storage.. best car I have owned ( owned five cars )
Adnan should do more videos 💪🏻
In the process of upgrading my S14's entire suspension and converting to S15 front. Bring it on FR-S
Driving a toyota celica from 2000 atm. Have to say that I want to know how the gt86 rides.
Proud owner since 2013.
Had many people say to me "why buy that when x car has more power".... that has got to be the least relevant argument imaginable. Especially when the "x car" is usually some kind of hatchback which, let's be honest' was designed to be a compromise between practicality and comfort.
Some people just want big numbers, I just want to drive - now leave me in peace.
It may have less power. But power doesn't count for jack-diddly-shit in twisty, winding roads and tracks. It's also a car that you can push to the limits on public roads more often. Have a nice day, Channy132! :D
its nice that some people here talk sense :)
Less is more on the race track
the birth of a very detailed legendary car
I can accept that the GT86 isn't the best track machine but it is the perfect sports car for the street.
Gt86 is like Phil Collins BRILLIANT!
Please review an EVO X MR!!!!!! thank you!
Nice review guys, but i still prefer way more my genesis
Its mid 2019 and trust me some people still dont know what model or make it is
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.
Nice..
he said something about a turbo. it doesnt have a stock turbo right?
Surprised to see no mention of the GT86/AE86 connection (Do a search for "AE86 Corolla Sprinter"... The Sprinter was a rear-wheel-drive Corolla designed to be the base model for the AE86 racing circuit in Japan back in the mid to late '80's).
and the 2000GT
This is the comment I came here for.
The gt86 is obviously named to honour the ae86.
I'd have thought a website dedicated to all things car related would realise that. But then again they are all a bunch of rich kid posers who don't care about anything made before 2005.
Why are you asking a guy that draws his eyebrows about cars lol 3:28
I think its a good looking car it may not be the quickest car of the line but fun isnt always about speed its about how the car makes you feel , Yes buying 2nd hand maybe able to get yourself an M3 or Evo X which will blow it away but they dont come with 3/5 year warrenty and cost a hell of a lot more to insure and keep running ie Fuel costs, tyres , servicing .
8-6: the legend continues
can you drift a stock gt86?
they should make a more power trd pack for the gt86
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.
Yup, I love my GT86!
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 ;-)
Futterama I use an Auto as well (own an ibiza cupra) but wanting an 86, is the auto shifting on the 86 as smooth as other dual clutch cars?...if you've tried others anyway.
MrT3ryn I haven't tried any dual clutch cars so I don't know, sorry. You gotta go try it out at a dealer :-)
No worries man, yea defo planning on it I'm obsessed with the 86 aero lol
>automatic
>no-brainer
you're right
Auto is this car is actually slower tho.
What watch is he wearing?
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.
0:54 I see what you did there😂😂😂
that Xzibit joke had me tearing LMFAOOOOOO
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.
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.
Is thst sold in the U.S.? Cause I've never seen it.
as a subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S
Nice video. But 'no other car comes close'? Hmm, not sure. RX8, S2000, 180sx (with the SR20DET) to name a few. 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.
clearly i haven't dug deep enough on Carthrottle youtube because i never seen Adnan on video reviews before..
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.."
Time to start saving all of my money now.
Just wait for someone to make a manga where a delivery driver uses this.
im going to miss this car... because we know its going to go where all other affordable fun cars go.... the cancelled project line
Sooo it's a Subaru with Toyota badges... apparently there's some talk about a brz sti. Should be interesting!
and scion FRS
karikajan sri GT86/BRZ/FRS are literally the same car. made in the same factory.
with different badges, slightly different interior, and suspension settings
Arian Winanto Don't forget bumpers and exhausts.

Just bought one 😮💨😍😍😍🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
need a gt86 in my life
+JustTahmid just bougt one yesterday! (second hand though). Just go for it.
The opening car noise...what is that?
