  • In today's video, I'm having a drive in the Toyota GR86 - an updated version of the predecessor GT86. This will be a road test to see whether the best affordable sports car has grown up, or lost it's edge?

    Toyota has really been on a roll with models like the GR86 recently. I can see why it's been sold pretty quickly 😃😅

    I cherish any car thats not oversized, has 2 doors, RWD, & is built for people who enjoy driving. Because there are so many stupid bland cars & SUVs on the roads these days.

    To Sid absolutely love your content and your explanations of driving as an enthusiast not a professional but not a beginner either.
    I think yourself and Chris harris should have your own new bbc top gear.
    No fancy shit but you and him are the best car reviewers I have seen.
    In my opinion better than Richard James and Jeremy when it comes to just reviewing a car as the enthusiast wants it to be explained

    Great video, you understand the GR86, it’s a very quick car down a B road, it’s exactly what you need today, 500HP cars are a thing of bragging rights, but I bet you could steer this car quicker from A to B in normal hands, I know because I got one….brilliant

    Really need to see it on track, must be difficult to review a car like this. Having to do your job and critique it but knowing we are lucky in general to be receiving a back to basics sports car in this new age of EVs and SUVs! Has toyota given it an lsd as standard or at least as an option?

    The one thing I consistently see in reviews of this car are the drivers smiling while driving it. I bought one on a whim. I had a 1986 MR2 which I sold in 2012. I just assumed Toyota would build a piece of crap. I was in for a service and had a chat with my salesman and it was done. I did no research on the car, I just ordered one and it came in 6 months later. I smile a lot driving it. Now I watch a review a day. A lot of smiling drivers. Trueno Blue. Premium. Sweet.
