Bought a face lift one 3 months ago. Now 4 years old. What a delight ! Had 3 mx5 . This is a little bigger but a more precise drive. The induction roar at 5000 rpm tells me I’m still alive ( 80 in May so how long have I got ). I don’t get the numb bum but perhaps there is no feeling in that area ! Not as fast as many 2 seaters but great fun.
Thanks! Yes, I was surprised too and at some point your engine will be running on much older oil. Not sure how you manage when the oil goes bad this way!
Im ordering one but the only thing im quite afraid is the car slip easy in the curves as i watch many videos saying that.. for a guy like me with 0 experience in drift will it be dangerous ? should i trade r16 prius tyres to r17 michelin sport 5?
Great impressions of yr facelift GT86 especially as an owner plus against pre facelift. Never seen that feature on infotainment with the Initial D water mentioned in any reviews guess that is a new update? Not sure what year yr car is, that is pretty cool though. Still at odds to which one I will get out of pre facelift and facelift model in Jan 2021 depending on budget.
Thanks for watching! Mine is a 2017 model. I think the glass of water may only appear on the face lifted model if you don’t have it in yours. Good luck with getting your upgrade. Let me know how you get on!
Is this car expensive to service? I'm in two minds of getting one I've seen. I don't drive that much, just mainly weekends really but i really want this car so badly but apart of me feels like if it expensive to service. Any advice on this please?
So they charged you almost £400 for topping up the oil, washer fluid and a wash?? Surely that can’t be all. Or is that £400 to just maintain the warranty.

Had it for almost a year now.
If you are not addicted to 0-60 times
The car is perfect and it is so good looking😍
Totally agree about the looks!
Excellent review thanks ! Can’t believe Toyota didn’t change the oil on a £400 service . Minimum I’d expect on the most basic service

That’s insanity for a service . Major service in my Audi didn’t even cost that wtf lol
People use the phrase "last of a dying breed" but I think this one in particular truly fits that bill.
"Don't hesitate, go out and get one" That's the validation iv been searching for 😆
Glad I could be of service 😁
Very well knowledgeable. Excellent review. My dream car :)
Thanks for the comment! Great compliment! You never know, one day you’ll be doing a GT86 review!
My father is getting one yay
He’s going to love it I’m sure!

The Turismo Diaries Thanks will do. Thanks also for sharing the model year hopefully I can get a Facelift and have that feature.

9:30 I didnt know until today that the GT86 has that initial D reference
Btw “D” in Initial D is not drift
So they charged you almost £400 for topping up the oil, washer fluid and a wash?? Surely that can’t be all. Or is that £400 to just maintain the warranty.
It's a service. Not just fluid change...
Great video thank you
Thank you - you’re welcome!
Love this car for long time until the new Yaris GR came out recently
when uk market gets the headlight washers
I believe the car already has them. Not sure about the pre-facelift model though.
Hi, would love for you to review our 86/brz mod, please send me a message if you are interested!

@@TheTurismoDiaries will do man. Great vid. Exactly what I need to hear.
Am so torn between this and the brz can’t decide which a want but definitely getting rid of my audi to buy one or the other
Toyota all day. It looks like a Toyota and the interior design is based on the classic Toyota GT2000.
Perhaps a bit more cheerful in presentation, all the best, London Boy.
It looks like a carved pumpkin 🎃
That is a really good way to describe the front!
