I'm buying a GR86 in 2 to 3 years. I've had an NA Miata. The Miata is hard to live with in a few ways. It is cramped inside. Soft top wind noise is extreme in the highways. It's so small that SUVs and trucks don't see you when they make a turn into your lane. The GR86 is a smallish car, but it is way better to live with than a Miata.
To those who sees this comment, Happy New Year, and I hope a better year for you awaits in which you will live your dreams and acheive your goals. Hopefully we can correct our mistakes, analyze what we did in the past and walk for the better path in the upcoming year. MilesPrHr, keep up ur content!
@@davidgrantphelps1944 yeah he may not actually car but at the end of the day he’s tryna be positive? Why should we meet any positivity with negativity? There’s already so much negativity even if the positivity isn’t completely genuine I’d rather see positive messages then negative ones cause we could all use some positivity I think :)
i own a 2020 wrx but am intrigued by the brz especially the simplicity and smaller lighter frame, the more squashed into the drivers seat the better for me
currently looking into changing my 2017 wrx but I feel like I can't get rid of the AWD it is just to good in the snow and I get lots of it for 4-5 months a year
@@shootstraight91 Then even I would reccomend for you to stick with the WRX or consider other AWD car options. The FRS isn't the best in the snow, I have driven it up to the mountains a multiple times and have always struggled around the snow due to it's light weight RWD
To me, the 86 is a kind of goldilocks car - Something like the Civic Si or a VW GTI would easily be more practical, but both are front-wheel drive. The MX-5 is an incredible driver's car, but for some, the wind noise for the soft top may not be desirable, and to say it's storage capacity is small would be an understatment. The 86 is a great compromise, though the best solution is to do what I did - Get the 86, then convince your partner to get the GTI.
It’s interesting you mention the GTI. I have a 2019 GTI Rabbit MT, and I love it. Great to drive, and more than practical. However, it is no substitute for the unique, more “thrilling” driving feel of a RWD sports car. Before my GTI, I had an 2015 FRS and it was so much fun! But didn’t make sense for my household vehicles dynamic. In an ideal situation, I would totally get the new GR86. That’s not to say the GTI isn’t fun by any means though. Just a different kind of fun in a FWD😉👍🏼
@@davidbugarin Oh, absolutely. I find the thrill of the GTI is more in the raw torque the EA888 puts out, and even the admittedly muted turbo spool is something that never gets old. And for long trips, nothing beats it out - Quiet on the freeway with comfortable suspension means that you can go hours and hours without getting tired. But for canyon carving or even spirited driving, the 86 is a more refined, controlled experience. The handling is just sublime, and it sits as a blank canvas - Enjoyable on its own, or with any of a number of aftermarket solutions depending on what you want to improve. They both have their place and their time, and it's a blessing to have both in my garage. ;)
So I have read nothing but banner reviews about the BRZ / FRS / GR86 since they were released. I know there have been some changes over the last couple years to make them even better. One thing that crushes me though is that I haven’t ever been able to drive one. I guess I will just have to live vicariously through your epic walk around bru.
@@kennymartinez8418 I just haven’t had the opportunity. I really need to just set a time and go to it specifically test one. I’ve gone out and looked, but haven’t had the opportunity to test drive one. No valid excuse though. I need to just go do it.
@@P4SDetails I just went out for a drive in my GT86 and lost the rear a few times. Larry Miller Toyota has 3 GR’s in stock but they’re automatics so not interested in those.
This car has just been up’d a level. I call it the Dino treatment. They did the same with the Dino 206 going to the famous Dino 246. And similar again with the 944 going on to be the 944 S2, just making an already amazing recipe better with more torque and a little more bhp.
Thanks for the video, great in camera/road views. It was a lovely distraction from the daily grind. i own an '13 brz and i really love it. i havent found anything since that has made me want to get a new car...but if we were living in normal times i may consider just swapping it out for the newer version.
Great review. I just found your channel and really liked how relaxed and casually you talked about everything. I really want to get myself a GR86 in the future and thanks to you I'm now less sad that we in Europe won't be getting the new Nissan Z.
I finally ordered one and its the GR 86 10th Anniversary Edition in Solar Shift! I’m so excited. I’m not a very proficient in manual driving but I mustered the courage to learn more when I get it!
Having ridden motorcycles for years, I operate on the assumption others don't see me (doesn't matter what I'm driving). That tactic has saved me from being hit numerous times
@Dmetsys now even that is gone, so yes it is money waster now :/ 3 series is another thing, I would rather get a Kia then. Also in my country we still produce RWD cars for about 10000€ :D
That’s probably a great beginners car for people learning to drive manual. It LIGHTS UP tryna tell you to change gear . Crazy’🤯! I loved my frs but def small! I had to get the wrx but sometimes miss being able to get in tight places 😎
This looks like plenty of car for a 4 cyl price wise and handsome looking perfect young man car or enthusiast car and it’s Toyota good build honestly that’s a gift in the world where cars are going electric and boring they keeping things og with this .. taking us back to the days when they have you allot in a car for fair money I will be keeping a eye on this one ☝️
I got a 2018 civic Si recently and I gotta say, I love that car, it's the sedan, 1.5T 6spd manual, 205hp and 192torque, it's crazy fast in sport mode but also very controllable ( it's better to just experience it first hand ), and its an amazing daily driver with excellent power on demand when you gotta pass that pesky base model civic in the fast lane, and there's a ton of mods for the car. My choices were a BRZ ( got sold ): ) focus ST ( also sold ) and the civic Si which is what I got and it's the best purchase I've made in buying a car.
I currently have a 2020 MX-5 Club, and I put down a deposit for a GR86 yesterday. While the Miata is a great car, I just don't think I'm a convertible-type person. It was nice to try out, but not for me. I was actually trying to get a Camaro 2SS 1LE, as I've never had a V8 before and I wanted to try one out before they disappear, but my dealer submitted my order back in mid-November, and as of yet it hasn't been accepted by GM and the dealership has no idea when, or if, they'll get an allocation. The GR86 was my second choice because I briefly had a 2018 BRZ that I loved (before it was totaled in an accident), so I know I'll enjoy getting into the upgraded model. I'm actually keeping both the orders for the Camaro and the GR86 open, and I'll grab whichever car gets built first. Both these cars seem to be in such high demand that even if they both get built, I don't foresee the dealerships having any trouble selling whichever one I don't take.
You're almost certainly not going to see anything that's bolt-on + pump gas. The engine is strung out. Piston swaps or E85 will be necessary to make significant gains.
@@404nobrakes Greddy/Trust and HKS both have turbo kits in development and they're already touting 320whp on pump gas and low boost. HKS also has a centrifugal supercharger kit making 300whp. There's nothing "strung out" about this motor just yet, as no one knows the limits of the engine. Also an FYI - the FA24 turbo that is in the Subaru Ascent, is practically the same except block - just with no turbo. Which already comes built with forged internals. It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that the upper limit of this N/A block, with a bolt-on turbo kit is roughly 400hp. In a car that weighs right just under 3000lbs and with its small dimensions - is plenty to make the car feel REALLY good. The magic number people were begging for in a Turbo FRS/86/BRZ - is 280-300hp. Which is definitely doable.
@@michaels4640 Yes let us pay nearly $200,000 for a chassis and engine not worth anywhere near that much. Supras are nowhere near the best car to turbocharge regardless.
@@mrthangowme I meant the new surpras. The GR86 is basically a lower version of the 2.0 Supra. That’s what Toyota did and why they didn’t turbo this car because then no one would buy the Supra.
I think the opposite, as far as which package you should get (base or premium). Since it is rare to find this car without a bs markup right now, you're actually smarter getting the base package and upgrading from there.
11:36, it's funny to hear you talk about starting prices when here in Canada the 86 starts at $1,995 more than the BRZ... I hate that I had to love the 86's styling more than the BRZ's
@@MilesPerHr Canadians are getting quite a deal on the BRZ. After currency conversion it comes to about $22,800 USD for the base BRZ.Of course they are sold out. About $25,500 for the one you tested.Phenominal deal. Your mountain road drive was exactly what this car is about. Total balance in this package.
I know right... The one thing I will be looking to fix on this is the fake sound and the "racing" gauge you get when switched to track mode. It just looks weird to me. They could have just left the circular RPM gauge there.

@@yungrichnbroke5199 realistically you don’t pay $30k all at once so it isn’t too bad. As long as you have a stable job it really ain’t that bad!! All depends on where you want your money to go lol
I know right. 1% better. Nah just kidding. It would be 2% better. And 5K more expensive. And lost it's warranty. And 10% less resale value. It's amazing how good it is.
The driver seat is not one motion to move it forward because you don’t want to lose your seat setting when your just putting your jacket in the backseat.
Shame what a dated and cheap interior design the car still has. A 15,000 entry level Toyota has better tech and quality. Looks dirty and old, love that car though. Great video !
RWD, NA boxer, manual gearbox, hand operated mechanical parking brake, no fake carbon-looking plastics or fake intakes or fake exhaust or speaker generated sounds and everything. This car looks almost perfect except the engine start BUTTON and full digital instrument
Toyota stopped selling the 86 in Portugal, so sad, all of the car brands here, they just removed a lot of car series from their inventory, I guess no one was buying them...
You might want to hide the speedo if your going to do almost 100 mph on public roads 🤷🏽♂️ (7m - 9m mark... i'm sure chp downloading this would be no good for you).
Went and got me a Cadillac CT5 2021. New and love it. My girl got the 86 in Neptune blue. This car is fun to drive. Sport mode just gives you that manual feel. Think better she went auto, a lot more rare and wider market for resell.

GR86 Manual 0-60 is faster than ND Miata Manual

Your thoughts on AT? Now a days automatic has gotten so much better.
Do we just automatically call any car's backseat a "second row" now because of SUV mentality? 😂

I finally ordered one and its the GR 86 10th Anniversary Edition in Solar Shift! I’m so excited. I’m not a very proficient in manual driving but I mustered the courage to learn more when I get it!
Do you feel safe driving this small car? It's just so low and small on the highway surrounded by huge trucks...
As a delivery driver i can confirm small cars like a miata are difficult to spot so the 86 will most likely be difficult for us to see as well
Having ridden motorcycles for years, I operate on the assumption others don't see me (doesn't matter what I'm driving). That tactic has saved me from being hit numerous times
Both Throttle House and Hagerty raced the new 86 with the ND2 and the 86 won both times. Just an FYI
i just got the new brz, and i like the gr86 front end better, but the red brz interior is just so much better in every way
I'm not sure Miata is always the answer. What if it's going to be your only car? I think the BRZ/GR86 is the only answer if you have 30K and want RWD!
two years ago also bmw 1 was the answer
@Dmetsys Speak for yourself. Nobody cares about the cost of parts in new cars.

It looks a very interesting entry level sport car. Nice review! What about the acceleration? Is it powerful at all the range?
The acceleration is good for this price point, but with this car (like the Miata), it's way more than a 0-60 car. It's a joy to drive at all speeds.
Interior wasn't that impressive in person, tons of creaky plastic everywhere
That horn is what all Japanese cars sounded like before the 90s! Japanese classic!!! I’m 46 and remember those as new

This video pushed me over the edge I want this car now
Am I going to get made fun of for buying an auto?
Even if it's tedious at times (in traffic), the manual is worth it. No judgement if you go with the auto, though.
I've been seeing a lot more good things about the 86 over the BRZ so I'd like to know which one is better
86’has dealer markup. BRZ doesn’t.
It's all going to be personal preference on the subtle styling differences and paint colors

@@yungrichnbroke5199 realistically you don’t pay $30k all at once so it isn’t too bad. As long as you have a stable job it really ain’t that bad!! All depends on where you want your money to go lol
Imagine how good it be with a performance exhaust, new header, cold intake, turbo and a tune.
I know right. 1% better.
Nah just kidding.
It would be 2% better.
And 5K more expensive. And lost it's warranty. And 10% less resale value. It's amazing how good it is.
That GR 86 2022 is my dream car.
The driver seat is not one motion to move it forward because you don’t want to lose your seat setting when your just putting your jacket in the backseat.
Shame what a dated and cheap interior design the car still has. A 15,000 entry level Toyota has better tech and quality. Looks dirty and old, love that car though. Great video !
RWD, NA boxer, manual gearbox, hand operated mechanical parking brake, no fake carbon-looking plastics or fake intakes or fake exhaust or speaker generated sounds and everything. This car looks almost perfect except the engine start BUTTON and full digital instrument
I pre ordered that exact one...Comes in next week can't wait! Great vid man
Congrats! I'm jealous - I wanted to keep this car so bad.
How much did you pay for it
@@lawnmower6591 Out the door 38k... It came with paint protection film package which was an additional 3k and sales tax was 3.8k
@@prodgez no markups??? I'm asking because I really want to get a car like this soon, but dealerships are being ridiculous right now.
@@lawnmower6591 none
Toyota stopped selling the 86 in Portugal, so sad, all of the car brands here, they just removed a lot of car series from their inventory, I guess no one was buying them...
I need both mx5 and gr 86
Looks really fun to drive
It was a blast!
Toyota - the only car brand that actually knows what's good and listens to the customers (Mazda too).
You might want to hide the speedo if your going to do almost 100 mph on public roads 🤷🏽♂️ (7m - 9m mark... i'm sure chp downloading this would be no good for you).
Thank you!
Great video
your so cool bro love your vids✌
Thank you for the support! 🙏
I am so in love with this car
Went and got me a Cadillac CT5 2021. New and love it. My girl got the 86 in Neptune blue. This car is fun to drive. Sport mode just gives you that manual feel. Think better she went auto, a lot more rare and wider market for resell.
This guy is having too much fun with this car
Not going to deny that!
All performance competition in the under 30k range is now irrelevant. More makers need to produce RWD vehicles.
Where do you drive in Texas? I don't know enough places here in the DFW area.
im getting this car
Very comprehensive
i'll never understand why Toyota didn't make a inline 4 exclusive to this platform
I got dizzy from camera angel , hope u make it better, but love ur vids man keep it up
Great review. Might have to get one. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
