My wife is from Japan. She doesn't like American mainstream tofu. She saw a kid in San Francisco in a Sylvia with the Japanese language "Fujiwara Tofu Shop" sticker and looked it up expecting a (far superior) local tofu shop. That's how we found Initial D.
I have a 2017 86. I have 108,000 miles on it as I have daily driven it since i bought it new. I grocery shop for a family of 4 every two weeks. If the trunk on the newer 86 is about the same it is more than plenty.
I owned the previous generation. The only trunk difference is the opening is slightly smaller and there is no spare under the carpet. However the old spare from my 2017 fit like normal
Had to drop in and watch this again. I had a Trueno reserved, but found a white '23 with only 3k miles and scooped it up. I guess that answers the question!
The other cool thing about the Trueno package is that all the parts like the breaks and shocks are designed to be swapped onto the the regular GR86. So if you are unlucky to get your hands on the outrageously marked up 860 Truenos, you can still get the performance. Love the Trueno blue of this one.
I cosigned for a loan on a 2013 Sion FRS for my daughter .After having the car for a while I took over the payments from her. I kept the car as a daily driver for three years. The car was a fun little car to drive. The handling was great. My wife and I took it to Colorado on vacation. Driving thru the Rocky's was very fun. Took in up to Pikes peak it was awesome .The car was a blast to drive. I really enjoy watching Sarah's video's and driving impressions.
Thanks for getting in the back seat. I have a MK3 Supra. Similar space in the back and I use it for small bags and emergency pickups. Major reason I dislike the MK5 is no back seat….and no Targa. GR86 looks fun to drive.
I loved this review as the owner of a 2022 Limited automatic Subaru BRZ. The only interesting fact about these cars I would like to add to Sarah's review is these relatively low priced cars have the exotic feature of aluminum front fenders, hood, and top. I chose the BRZ over the GR86 because reviews indicated the BRZ is better for tracking a low lap time on a race course, whereas the GR86 is "more tossable" as in drifting.
Hey Sarah, truer words were never spoken ‘ everyone needs a sports car’ and Toyota knocked it out of the park. Those three additions I almost can’t believe they actually did that.🐧🐧🐧👍
600lbs of dog food = 20 30lb bags. Each approx. .75ft^3. 8 in the trunk with room to spare. 4 on the floor of the backseat. 4 on each side of the back seat. Still have room for a passenger and a day bag for each person, no problem.
I love the detail in all of your reviews! The little mechanical details and comparison are awesome for people who are looking to work/mod on these cars! Keep it up!
I used to launch my Chevelle even higher than that, but it was a DRAG car that was built to be launched that hard too. Otherwise, dumping the clutch at 5,000 RPM will only smoke the tires and break drivetrain parts.
@5:25 the buttons are often misunderstoon, at least on the BRZ tapping the left button turns off traction control but leaves stability control on. You have to hold the button down for 3 seconds to turn off BOTH. Or just use the track button which turns both TSC & VSC down to minimums
I’m both a Cynophile as well as a ailurophile. I had for a time both growing up together at my home in Colorado. I have a 2017 86 with the 2.0L boxer 4. The best way to smooth out that hp and torque dip is to replace the stock exhaust header with a uneven exhaust header. It makes that wonderful sound and no dip that my butt dyno could perceive. Great vid! Hope to see more. 👍🏻
SACHS dampers and Brembo breaks will be a package for 2024 model year - no need to order limited Trueno edition (order availability in November, delivery next winter). Also, that package can be retrofitted to current GR86s, and I read somewhere, that that retrofitting will be offered at official dealerships.
I watched this video before I bought my 24 gr 86, it's a really great car. Just did my 1k break in oil change, and finally giving it the beans. its a lot of fun
~ thanx 4 the review - { I had a smile from beginning to finish } really helpful as I am just becoming familiar with this vehicle 🏁 now I just need to become familiar with your ratings chart
First time watching and I think I love you, Sasquatch 😅. Great video about a segment of car that Leno will never get to. Love the yodas and practical sporty stuff. Thanks!
It’s funny how no one has any problem with this car’s exhaust, but so much hate on Mustang ecoboost, which actually sounds pretty much the same, if not much better
I used to own an 88 Toyota Corolla SR5 coup. It had the sporty flip up headlights and manual transmission. I don't see those anymore. Great review and as always Give It The Beans!😎
Hey keyboard warrior who just came here to hate. It’s long sweeping rights and you need track tires to hold enough G’s long enough to starve. With few exceptions every car needs some modifications to track safely. Hope to see both of you on a mountain road and let’s see if you can keep up. I’ve stayed in front of a C7 with just upgraded pads & rotors.
So excited for mine to arrive! Put the deposit down on a "Raven" premium manual in May, hopefully it arrives by fall sometime. I haven't been this excited about a car in a long time. Excellent insights, as always, Sarah!
As a fellow sasquatch, that's my first condition that has to be met! This generation feels more roomy than the last. And far more capable on the track.
How does this channel not have more subscribers. Sarah is genuinely acknowledged in cars and provides some great reviews/analysis of the details in these cars.
0:44 Rear foglights are a pox. I have to occasionally deal with them on my commute and it's basically light having the car in front of you shine a red headlight in your face while you try to drive.
I bought the FR-S the first year it came out. I absolutely loved that car. Sold it during the pandemic, and eventually replaced it with a sensible, boring Accord hybrid EX-L. Being responsible sucks. :( Oh, and side note: I bought the Accord like 3 weeks before they released the GR-86. Had I waited, I would probably would've bought one xD
I’ve been shopping sports cars, love the Z, but $53K, is more than I want spend, this GR86, is pretty sweet, not enamored of the dash though, gonna check out the 6 speed stick, great technical review Sarah, thank you
Owning one, I really love it. The power is more than fine for the road. You can easily lose traction in the dry at high RPMs. The speed at which it revs from 5500 to 7400 RPM is pretty insane. Easy to bounce off the rev limiter if your not shifting fast enough. The problem with the car is that it encourages you to push it and that's when your starting to exceed the speed limit. Anymore power and you'll just overload the chassis and to get the thrill of driving it hard, exceed the speed limit excessively. And I don't want my car crushed by the state for "excessively speeding."
You drove one of these cars at Monticello Raceway - that must have been fun ... perhaps off-road tires might have been more appropriate as it is a harness race track. Perhaps it was Monticello Motor Club? Just having some fun here - love the channel and the content ... keep up the EXCELLENT work and entertainment!
It's amazing that Ford Mustang in the late 80's early 90's with a 5.0L V-8 got 225 hp. And some 30+ years later you can get a four cylinder that produces similar horsepower.
but the v8's would produce more torque over a 4 cyl..i had a 91 5.0 & it would eat that car for lunch..too bad they didnt drop a 6 in it or something with more torque.
@@jaylee931 sure, if you’re talking just in a straight line. Rarely, do I drive my 86 in a straight line. Not knocking Mustangs. After all, “Everyone needs a sports car.”
ordered mine 86 in november in austria (Europe) for a msrp of 46k , same colour as in video (Sapphire metallic blue) cant wait to get finally my hands on it
Another wonderful car from the mind of Toyota. As for the sound system, that's what the engine and exhaust are for!. You have to get Charlie a lab coat!
Thanks Sarah, pretty interested in one of these so thanks for giving it your knowledgable once over...plus little things like your humour & appreciate your avoidance of “freedom units”. You are nice to watch as well.😊
I figured out after buying the brz that both of these cars have 3 different modes of traction control modes. You have “track”, “traction control off”, and if you press and hold both you get everything off and the track tachometer.
Your 5.10 right ! I think you would have the same problem in the jump seats of the S550 Stang, a greater problem in the 5th and 6th Gen Camaro jumper, and look how big and heavy they are 🤷🏾♀️
“Everyone needs a sports car”. No truer words spoken 🥰
Or a muscle car... Both are fun to drive.

Hi Sarah! Never been this early but I'm positive you did a great job.
I am loving my new GR86. I ordered it after seeing your first review. It is definitely car enthusiasts driving. Thank you.
No truer words were spoken Sarah, when you said "everyone needs to own a sports car." Keep up the great work.

With a lot of help from Subaru, naturally.

The hand pointer twist at 1:13 was 100% professional, Sarah. Nicely done.
Thank you for publishing this at 23.00 hrs UK time.
I appreciate the way Sarah launched the car in the beans segment. I've seen you tubers dump the clutch at 5000rpm which is ridiculous.
I used to launch my Chevelle even higher than that, but it was a DRAG car that was built to be launched that hard too. Otherwise, dumping the clutch at 5,000 RPM will only smoke the tires and break drivetrain parts.
Just got a trueno blue GR86 for my daily. Loving it so far! Thanks for the detailed review Sarah!

Thanks for this review. The Toyota engineering is always impressive. And yes, everyone needs a sports car.
This review was informative, naturally presented, and extremely amusing-a hard feat to succeed at for any content creator. Well done!
Whenever Sarah drives a car on an Arizona road, I keep hearing the Roadrunner meep meep sound in my head, and I can't stop it. 🤔

Don't track it though. They have a oil feed problem in hard right turns. Oil pressure drops dramatically.
And clockwise donuts will kill it quite quickly.
Also the transmission is maxed out straight from the factory.

Congratulations !
I put a deposit on one in November, still waiting :/ best of luck to you my friend. I too am stoked for it to arrive!!
this is one of the better explained showcases. thanks! I will add, the fa24 in this car has a lot of little changes
You are correct about the seats. I them in my Accord and my 200sx.

Amazing review as always Sarah, your the best.
Adding dealer mark up is gonna hurt the enthusiast that would be in the market for this vehicle love that they're gonna do it though
Those cars look awesome, too bad no dealers have any in stock, or want premium prices...
I figured out after buying the brz that both of these cars have 3 different modes of traction control modes. You have “track”, “traction control off”, and if you press and hold both you get everything off and the track tachometer.
That tiny back seat floor mat is hilarious. Never seen anything quite like that.
Be glad when they release the option to pre order the trueno
Absolutely and just totally agree with your assessment of the GR86 … Thanks Mucho 😎
