Turning everything off in the Yaris is when it truly comes alive tbh :P

Was the knock from negligent first owner?

I've had a BRZ for 11 years, and I'm struggling as I shop for something new now. The Supra was one of my top choices, its a great car, but what you said really resonated with me. My friends think I'm crazy, but for 2x the price of a new 86, its definitely not 2x as fun, and its harder to enjoy on the street. Which was your favorite?

Nice to see the car I built in good hands. Let me know if you want to chat.

Learn2Race took me on this exact journey and it’s lovely to see you benefiting from Nick and the teams instruction and experience. Great video on the start of your journey and I can’t wait to see how the ARDS goes.

great review thx

Blasphemy will cost you more than your licence.

Great video,I've been going to my local hillclimbe at Loton Park,for the best part of 40 years,and it never disappoints,but it great tk hear from a driver,about his car,and what it's like to actually do it,keep up the great work Lewis 👍

There is a Panasonic speaker under the dash that “enhances” the engine noise. It is on passenger side on the US model, but if you unplug it then you can get rid of that “fake” engine noise. It doesn’t seem to do anything if you unplug it besides stop the fake noise.

I really like the 86 in that black.

What the heck... Where is FC RX7? There is only Porsche 944

Great video Lewis! Thanks for putting this together. Glad you enjoyed the time in the driver’s seat at Shelsley Walsh, Nick.

Loved my time in EnduroKa and the family feeling the series gave. I raced before AFK joined but have worked for another team competing against them and it’s been a pleasure to see them develop.

Just because I copied you by buying a GT86 it doesn't mean you have to copy me with a 944. Coincidentally I have a replacement from valance for mine in that colour.

I had the GR86 before the 3.0 Supra. There’s no way you can convince me to get back into a MT 86.

Very great job! For your next driving videos, it could be possible to fix a camera on the pedalbox to film footwork please? :)

What a great idea 😀 this really appeaps to me 😊

They're notorious to leak oil?

That was a great review bud 😊 I currently have a 2020 M340i (Supra Sedan, but xDrive)..... and I agree, the B58 Supra/BMW is great at going fast..... but as I get older, I'm thinking I'd like something lighter and NOT so fast.... one of the most fun cars I have ever driven (and I've had 18 cars in 33 years of driving, including Evo's, an R35 GTR, HSV V8 and even a brand new ML63 AMG) was my brothers 2001 stock standard Corolla Hatch. FWD with no power, but it was light and rowing the manual gearbox was a joy. So, now I'm thinking about something light and something from Japan i.e. GR Yaris, GR86/BRZ or an FL5 Civic Type R.

Supra is not designed for driving in stock without mods !

What you experienced on the A90 has zero to do with the gear box, that car is very difference and react to speed instead of other random cars. This car actually communicate but in a different way.

What a car,absolute belter,didn't matter that the microphones were struggling to pick up the speech,it's the sound that the car makes ❤

The GR Yaris is an absolut track beast

9:10, I'm sorry, but you seemed more upset about the fact that you were under prepared and didn't have lavalier microphones then concentrating on the vehicle that you were in and the true history of it. Not to mention Jon immediately admitting he doesn't properly drive it and it is clearly more of a business venture for him. The remainder of the video seemed to me like two old men talking absolute rubbish.

Lack the fortuner gr, hilux gr and lc300 gr

You got that backwards the SUPRA is meant to be driven a speeds well above jail speed BUT, it is also a luxury GT cruiser that will get legit 35+ mpg on the highways a compromise that neither of the other GR cars can afford you can drive a fast car slow, but you can't drive a slow car fast

I've had all 3 , Supra feels too german , Yaris is actally too good to be fun and the 86 is the most fun, best looking with the best steering and manual gearbox I've experienced personally , biggest drawback is the horrible engine and aggressive throttle map .

Superb absolutely love this,sets the scene of what Takona is all about,and hopefully fingers crossed people will get on board and support you,in what ever way they can

Yes the 3rd pedal makes a massive difference. I love it so much!

Great review of the three cars,but u di wonder if the Yaris would in time become a little tiresome? Great to have your honest opinion and thought Lewis,and can't wait till the next episode drops 👍

Is the 86 really a GR though .. NOPE

Such a fun video, but spinning a GR Yaris on the road is highly unlikely though 😄 thing has way too much grip.

imagine owning all 3 in manual trim that a modern car collection right there.

For the Supra. The pass through is always there. The shelf is removable. They are nice cars made by bmw but they have horrendous rattle problems. Mine started the rattles at 400 miles on the odometer and the manual makes it a completely different car. Slower but wayyyyyyyyyyy more fun and connected

GR86 for me

automatic is just as fun as manual is...

GR Yaris with an intake for all the wooshy turbo noises, a seat lowering kit, and an exhaust is the perfect setup in my opinion. It is just ridiculously fun. The speed you can carry through a roundabout in it is mind boggling.

Ex GT86 & BRZ owner and have same dilema to get into a GR86. They spoil you with that low COG feeling that when you try other cars such as an M2 they feel like heavy pigs..Your review told me more about the difference in driving feel for the Supra & 86 than many other so called car journalists have conveyed in the last few years 👏

I wonder if the Yaris’ appeal would be sustainable. It’s a neat party trick - but coming from a guy that used to own a 2016 focus RS, you find that heroic performance on the street soon becomes boring unless you want to shatter the law every time you get behind the wheel. And mind you, I’m not just saying exceed the speed limit, I mean obliterate it. In contrast, having owned a 2013 & 2018 brz and now a 2022 gr86, I think it’s brand of fun will keep you coming back for more. You can hoon if you like - but it asks driver skill of you. It’s also fun to occasionally yaw around a low speed turn now and again. Plus your seating position is near perfect (better than the 981 boxster I owned concurrently for a year).

This was a very refreshing watch, it’s nice to listen to someone talk normal for a change without all the hype switched on constantly. I used to own a GT86 which I adored, had it from new and left it completely stock. Very fun car that you really could use all the power of all the time. Actually got myself a manual Supra from the lovely people at Listers in Lincoln and I’m over the moon with it, it’s a very different animal that you have to be more considerate with but the manual is really what made me want one. Do miss my GT86 and wish I could have kept it. Not yet had a go in a GR86 or the GR Yaris but hope to one day. But if a Toyota fan boy.

It was so hard to decide between the yaris and the 86, I ended up with the 86 instead, naturally aspirate, manual, rear wheel drive

Really great review! I chose my 2023 FA24 BRZ manual for its completely analog - seat of the pants personality. Fun and feel good factor in spades... but just not splitting grin quick.. HOWEVER today I collected my car from the mechanical massage therapist and drove home through the twisties with that grin firmly etched in place!! 300hp at the wheels courtesy of a HARROP SUPERCHARGER really unleashes the full potential of a truly wonderful platform!

GR Corolla: 👀

Manual Supra better than gr and yaris and far more better than Auto Supra

Heh. I have a BRZ and drove the GR Corolla. BRZ is a car that knew exactly what it wanted to be and is fully dedicated to it. Light, agile, fun to drive. GR feels like a very, very powerful grocery getter. It never lets you forget that it was built off of a subcompact economy car, but it's a subcompact economy car with a rocket on its ass. Just absolutely fast.

I had yaris GRMN that rare one of 400 made for europe, those who have driven both the GRMN and GR yaris are saying that GRMN is even more raw, and guess what :) I did lost my license with it ;) it is like a little hornet, always agressive and always ready to go, impossible to drive slow...

Very informative video and driving experiences, i own, and love my Abarth 595 scorpioneoro but have a real problem on what to eventually replace it with? both the GR86 and GR Yaris are on my short list, but which do i buy?

I have a GR86 and test drove the Supra and GR86 back to back. Couldn't agree more, the GR86 is hands down a more connected and engaging driving experience, way more smiles per gallon than the Supra. Once I got over the quicker 0-60 in the Supra, compared to the 86 it's a very disconnected and vague driving experience, and much less rewarding. If any of these are second weekend cars, go for the 86 hands down, it's the most fun out of all of them! I don't really agree though about having to give the 86 the beans all the time to feel like the Yaris, the 86 is still quite a full on hardcore car that is very hard to drive normally, it wants to go all the time just like the Yaris. Yaris is the best daily/practical car out of the three though, but you sit way too high up.

Just need the gr corolla 😩

The Icon 917 has a wild story. I’ve been following the build closely and have spoken to the mad genius a few times. Hopefully when he takes them to production I can get one
