I hadn't thought about it before, but has anyone else noticed that we've been saying things like "the last of the rwd manual sports cars" for like 20 years now?
Supra gets a lot of hate but its smaller, lighter, more agile and with far far better weight balance vs the 2JZ motor predecessor. B58 engine can also handle lots of boost and is reliable.
I don't hate the new supra, only the mk4. In saying that, however, the gr supra is still quite hefty for its size, but it is a bmw at the end of the day
That's what enthusiasts do, nit pick everything and buy used. When the 2JZ Supra came out it didn't sell and got a lot of hate, so did the original NSX. This is a car we will look back and regret we didn't buy, esp the manual.
I'm not sure any car from 30 years ago is really meant to be the main reference point for the performance and refinement of a brand new car, shared name badges or not...
Just barely in each category. The GR86 is 300kg lighter than the Supra though and is a lot cheaper and I bet you is a ton of fun. I think that is the car to have. The new Supra, as a true successor, came out years ago and it is the LC500. It is the big GT car that the MK3 and MK4 were.
There's such an unbelievable amount of demand for RWD manual cars that there's no reason they should stop making them. Engines keep getting more efficient each year, and it makes economic sense for companies with a motorsport division to keep making them. The 86/BRZ competitions are very accessible for amateur drivers, and it would be idiotic to throw away all the hard work that built that up over the decades.
Politicians particularly in Europe secure seats by promising tighter regulations on ICEs. The majority of general public there dont care about the legacy of RWD sports cars
Sadly this is not true. There's unfortunately never been a lesser demand for sports cars. High R&D costs, low sales figures, emissions etc has put massive question mark on the future of sports cars. Combine that with the fact that too many so called enthusiasts never buy new cars you have even lesser attractive sports car prospect for manufacturers.
@@scootergrant8683 it feels like a driver's car. Quite raw by modern standards. Nice steering feel and you can feel the chassis rotate around you. The tactile sensations improve the faster you go as well making it more alive the harder you push. great interior ergonomics for driving position and pedal position.
I’m a tradie and I get to drive my manual rear wheel drive Toyota Hiace everyday. It even makes cool turbo sounds from its Diesel engine. It also only has one driving mode from the factory. 😂
These are actually super under rated from the factory. US spec ones are dynoing at 210-215 wheel horsepower and 170-175 ft pounds. Using 15% drivetrain loss, this works out to about 247-252 flywheel horsepower and 200-205 foot pounds of torque at the flywheel. So they make about 25 hp and 15 ft pounds more than even they say it does lol
That makes sense, because the 2.0L (FA20) in the GT86 made 205hp, or 102.5hp/liter. Now utilizing all the same engine technology and techniques, the GR86 increased the displacement to 2.4L by increasing bore size. There’s no reason it shouldn’t still be making 102.5hp/liter….So 102.5hp * 2.4 = 246hp for the GR86/‘22+ BRZ. 228hp advertised is almost certainly sandbagging the actual number.
They will, if more people buy it new, not just thank Toyota for making it and wait for them to trickle on the market, depreciate and enthusiasts pick one up for buttons.
I loved my Supra, but my biggest complaint wouldn’t be the auto transmission, it was the suspension. I had plans to get aftermarket, but never got to. It’s great to throw around, but a little unstable through high speed stuff.
Thanks, you confirmed what I also concluded about the GR86. I just bought one and I am totally loving it. Ya just can't drive the 86 without smiling. It is soo much fun.
The 86 is just such a wonderful car there's no other car like it... It's perfect in every way, you can recline your seat and sleep the seats are so comfortable and the interior is so sound and cozy, you have plenty of room to pack up for vacation or camping. The handling makes you feel like a professional right out of the gate, the sound system is above average, the simplicity of the interior makes you feel like you're sitting in a classic, nothing overwhelming about this car, it is the perfect balance. I can't find a reason to change my daily... I couldn't live without my 86
this is awesome to hear because i’ve recently been thinkin of trading in my corolla hatch for one and everything i’ve heard so far is definitely makin it seal the deal for me. can’t wait to finally have a fun rwd daily
If it's not a drop-top or targa, it can never be the perfect sportscar for me. Once you have that open air feeling while driving on a curvy country road, you'd never want to go back to a solid roof vehicle, no matter how light it is.
Other than pushing the end of petrol cars, good video. Thank-you TOYOTA for helping to #SaveTheManuals. 10 years ago I wouldn't have guessed TOYOTA would be helping to save performance cars and manual transmission vehicles. WELL DONE TOYOTA. I might purchase both to help keep cars like these alive!.
This is very probably ongoing Right now. The gt3 concept with it's long hood is screaming Mazda collaboration rx9 vibes. I believe, from my imperfect point of view, that the i3 we have in the gr Corolla and Yaris, are irl test mules for the i6 in that gt3 concept.
@Supra RCJPOP my '21 supra hasn't gone down in value at all since I bought it, it's actually a fantastic investment right now especially in this market.
Got a grey GR86 on the 2nd of September, I believe it was one of the last brand new ones sold in the UK, it's brilliant fun, the dash everything it needs to say
I mean the Mk4 Supra was not a sports car, it was a GT compared to the other Japanese competition. It's a beast for drag race and touring. If you wanted a light sports car you went for the RX7. The Nissan and Mitsubishi options kinda split the difference. We act like the Mk4 was the RX7 lol.
True that and I'm flabbergasted that this point is not mentioned more often. Yes the following cars here from Japan in the 90s were awesome: RX7, 3000GT, WRX, Evo, Celica, Prelude, S2000, Miata, MR-2, Supra, 300ZX; but they were often nothing alike (eg Miata or MR2 vs. 3000GT or 300ZX) and these days you'll see people comparing Miatas to GR86s...like, what?!?!
Interesting: this is one of the most aggressive reviewers of the car. Meanwhile, a lot of other magazines had much better things to say about the original MK5 supra. As an owner, and an owner of a fair bit of other sports cars, this reviewer is way off the mark with the comments about the car being lazy and feeling heavy. First, it weighs less than nearly every other car in its class and it has quite quick and twitchy steering. My gripe is that it is too twitchy and takes away confidence in the turns / switchbacks. I felt more confidence in driving my F80 than I do in the Supra, BUT the Supra has some nice bits to the experience (like the exhaust) that compensate for the twitchyness at the limit.
Literally only person that has complained about the Supra. Car is properly balanced and is a solid sports car. Having the 6spd option just makes it much better.
A manual supra in yellow or a manual gr86 in white are definitely some options for me in the future. I hope they sell a decent amount of both in the uk so I can get them used for a bit cheaper eventually
All this "disappointed by the Supra" bullshit... it's a fantastic car that people blag on about "it's a BMW". It's a well build, fantastic car... and sure the manual box is what petrol heads wanted, and we got it. ALL modern cars are heavy with the huge amount of electronics and safety kit.
Got mine last month. What a great car! What is also great about it is if toyota doesn't have parts (which they don't currently where I am at) you can always get parts from subaru
Did you just call Toyotas dishwashers with wheels? Show some respect boy.. Toyotas are very well designed in order to serve their purpose with safety. Not everything is made for performance.
I test drove a Supra and it is fast and fancy and nice looking, but I did not feel connected to the road like I do with my 86, which is what made me fall in love with my gr
“ The people who make loads of dishwashers “ The disrespect. Toyota has made over 30 sports cars and sporty cars or more in their lifetime. Toyota has a very colorful racing heritage and history. Have some respect. Some People like to ignore Toyota’s history
The only problem at this point are dealerships or should I say stealerships. I had to go out of state for my Neptune GR86 Premium to find a dealer that did msrp and actually had one that wasn't reserved yet. I feel it will be just as bad to get a manual Supra and I expect huge markups.
GR86 uses the same cruise control lever as my 8 year old Hilux. I guess the Toyota parts bin is well engineered so everything just works. I know it's not a sports car but every single thing on my Hilux works. Like the day it was new. It has never failed to start. And I've given it some shit. I live on a farm, it's off road and on road every single day. I got to hand it to Toyota, if they have made these sports cars as well as their old pickups they'll go on for ever.
I love the GR86/BRZ. Have an 13 FRS right now (US GT86) and I’m running it out until the last possible minute to buy a new GR as I think we might not have many choices here in the near future so I want to get one to last me a while (have a daily so these cars see few miles).
I had a 2013 FR-S as well - until Friday! I gave the GR86 a lot of consideration, but ultimately the Supra won me over, ZF8 auto and all. Good luck with your GR86 search - they're scarce on the ground at the moment. You might actually have better luck with the BRZ (and finding one without a markup).
@@MVolkJ Hopefully with the Nissan Z and Honda Civic Si coming it would help the GR86 hype die down so I can get one myself MSRP though yeah, I may just be leaning towards the BRZ if that is the case. Edit: also forgot about the GR corolla
@MVolkJ Also had a 13 frs. It blew up 😢 tying to decide between these two. Manual transmission. Are you happy you spent the extra money on the supra??
I like the new supra a lot. My buddy got one months ago and when he brought it by Iit was then I realized I don't fit well. im 6 foot 214 lbs and its a bit snug for me. I wish it wasn't.
I love my GR86, I think Toyota dropped the ball making it in a automatic, it seems you can find them everywhere, and the wait for Manuels is long. If the auto was a DCT I get it, but it’s not so what’s the point.
I'm getting rid of my beloved FK08 type R for a GR86. The civic is an absolute weapon, but I fine myself pining for RWD and I have to get my fix while I still can. it arrives in 3 weeks :D
Ok so I had a GR86 for a few months before a guy in a Transit van came by and T-boned me, totaling it, and my dad has the manual Supra and lets me drive it every now and then. The 86 is one of, if not, the most engaging and fun I have ever driven. From a pure emotional and driving feel perspective, you feel everything and it’s amazing. The steering tends to understeer sometimes when you really start to push it on a back road, but that is very easy to correct in that car and still it’s an insane amount of fun. The Supra on the other hand is cool because of the power and the sound and how that manual feels (I had the auto GR86 sadly, so I wasn’t really able to experience rowing gears all that often). But when I say that steering makes me feel nothing, I mean I don’t feel a DAMN THING. It’s so numb on center that it almost throws off your confidence when you start to push it. It’s very hard to get a sense of where the wheels are when you’re about to throw it into a corner. I just don’t really feel anything while driving it. It’s cool for the power and how the chassis felt, but I hate the steering so much. It “weights up” in sport mode, but it’s just an elusion of feel and connectivity to the front wheels. TL;DR: GR86 is the better drivers car out of the two IMO. The Supra has its place, but the steering needs a lot of work and retuning still.
Really wish they'd clean up some of the styling "vents" on the Supra. Even just the removing the vents on the doors would go a long way to cleaning up the design in my opinion.
Yes !!! THOUGHT THE SAME...ITS NOT A MID ENGINE FOR GODS SAKE THEYRE USELESS!! WOULD LOOK ALOT CLEANER WITHOUT THEM AND MORE REMINISCENT OF THE 2JZ Supra's..Still wish it was a proper Toyo powerplant and chassis...Subaru and Toyo need to stay performance minded ESPECIALLY SINCE STUPID SUBARU CANCELLED NEW STI !!!!!!??
@Jansen Stettler depends on the year and mileage on your s2k. If the miles are low enough and it's an 06+ I'd side for the Honda. You'll probably retain most of your money in the long run with it too. S2k prices have been on a steady climb the past few years annoyingly for me. I can't believe I could have had a low mileage club racer for under 30k just 6 years ago. Now it's just about double.
I love my '22 BRZ. She handles and performs so well and makes driving fun, Every. Single. Time. She also outperforms average drivers on the road which always puts a smile on my face. lol
@@gerglmuff Notwithstanding that Grand Tourer is referenced by Toyota in it’s own marketing and within the first sentence of Supra’s wiki page… and the fact that it’s sold in ‘GT’ form in parts of the world? Car classifications are murky at the best of times but the Supra spans the GT space imho
You sir are my favourite car reviewer! As a previous gen 1 owner of a highly modified gt86 I haven't been completely sold on the idea that this is worth the money but after watching your review- I want a gr86 😅
Man, if you told me in 2010 that Toyota would have a really awesome sports car range by 2022, I'd laugh at you... And yet, we got the GT-86, and then the GR Yaris, the GR-86, the Supra (even with a manual gearbox now), and even a GR Corolla (even the thought of being excited to see a video about a Corolla still sounds kinda absurd... But it looks like an awesome car). I don't know what happened to Toyota, but I hope they keep it up...
@@codeskhr4092 this doesn't really bother me as much as it seems a lot of other people. why fix what isn't broken? They can cut costs way down by using engines that are real world tested good engines.
As a 2nd generation BRZ owner for 2 years. The twins are amazing street sports car. Eager to be playful but also a best friend in slide. I can even foot to floor without fear of being flung into a tree or breaking the law (too much) However if you have access to a track then I would go for Supra which can punch above its power if your good enough driver. I just know that give me power & I’ll use it and get myself into trouble.
Even with sears up I got 4 tires in there with my GR86 … and I’m 6’3” … my kids hated riding around in the car and my wife didn’t like it though so I sold it. Fun car for sure but don’t expect to be fast on the track.
the GR86/BRZ along with Mazda's Miata have the world beat in the sports car realm. Affordability is a huge characteristic and key aspect of the 'fun to drive' aspect. Even if you have Supra/Nissan Z money, it would be wiser to choose the cheaper, smaller, lighter option anyway.
@@ThatOnedude374 I can afford a Z but I'm going with GR86. The interior of the Z is so ugly and I want a lighter car that is naturally aspirated. Also Nissan is a lame company.
@@ThatOnedude374 even if you have the money to spend, you might want to keep it for something else and get an incredibly enjoyable car. It's not inconceivable to pick a Miata over a 911 GT3 (even if you can easily afford the GT3) given the money savings, and the fact that you're still getting a great car.
This was a pretty disappointing video considering it's from Top Gear. I love the GR86 and defend entry level sports cars right to exist, but wow this guy really didn't give the Supra a fair shake at all. Why even include it in the video if the "comparison" is like... 30 seconds long.
The Supra has been talked about to death, this model is an improvement, but it’s not transformational, still will be the one to buy if you think long term, more lower, lighter and manual all bode well for future values
It’s a blatantly biased video geared towards the GR86. He jumped into the seat of the Supra with nothing but negative comments from the start. He then immediately went into the 86 talking it up and dismissing that it’s slower in every aspect and has shitty interior. Combine that with a WORSE fuel economy and almost half the power? It’s overall a far worse car. As somebody who’s driven both cars (Supra in auto) I would argue that the Supra is just as refined but has so much more to offer. Now factoring in budget is a different story. If you can only afford the GR86 then that’s the car to get, but if your budget is over 50k I wouldn’t even glance at it. The video ends with him calling the GR86 the best sports car in Toyotas line-up which is pretty much a blatant disregard of the Supra’s capabilities.
@@HayateV3 with how much tech they had to cram into it because of using BMW parts im very doubtful that they feel anywhere near as engaging and grounded as the gr86. That's the overall argument i keep hear against the car, all its inputs feel artificial and not as connected as youd expect from an actual sports car. Im not saying its an objectively bad car but i feel its more comparable to something like an Infiniti q60 red sport, a grand touring coupe with enough power to raise your hair but cushy and filled with electronic assists to make your daily commute melt into the background.

Has the B58 done 2k hp yet ... NO Listen here kiddo, shut yur mouth and get back to GTA ... B58 better than 2JZ ... 🤣🤣🤣
@@ACommenterOnRUclips it IS better than a 2j lmfao. What makes you think that those incredibly high hp "2j" motors share even one part in commom with a factory 2j?? Different piston/rod/cam/head designs, different internal materials, different internal manufacturing processes, completely different blocks made of different materials with different bores and sidewall thicknesses, different cooling channel design, etc. Those engines are not even 2jz engines anymore, they're like 50-80k usd fully built motors that were made to loosely resemble the 2jz design but they share absolutely nothing in common with the original motor. And its only like that because theres 30 years of development of these parts under its belt. The 2jz in stock form takes way more money and tuning to make power in comparison to the B58 motor.
If you call the Supra a BMW, you better call the GR86 a Subaru. That being said, if Toyota put the B48 engine in the GR86 I would have picked that up in a heartbeat. That would have been a mini supra.
I like the overall look of the gr86 but have never been able to get past the narrow wheels or cheap interior. Wasn't wowed by the Toyota (bmw) supra in the beginning but much more exciting in the flesh and rare and different enough to appeal.
Was waiting for the firm yawnful "BMW" comment. It's called platform sharing..... And if it makes manufacturers able to afford to keep building awesome cars then go ahead.
@@jamestonkin8610 Funnily enough I'm well aware of platform sharing and nowhere within my post is a negative comment on this. It is a statement of fact that the car is a Toyota/bmw.
Most cars have improved in term of materials , features and design and came up more expensive. We have Supra, Nissan z, and now for similar price range they will start to compete with Lotus emira or elise :)
All these back handed compliments in this review. Essentially all I heard was “it has such and such, which ISNT as good as say such and such, but it’s not bad”
Please do a comparison between the Toyota GR86 against the Ford Fiesta ST! Both world class entry level sport cars, with drastically different approaches!
Good idea. They're about the same price and performance on paper aren't they? I'm low key hoping Ford do a Fiesta RS to be compared with the GR Yaris ....
@@typhoon-7 They are pretty much spot on for price. Performance was is similar, but one with a 1.5L 3cyl turbo, the other with 2.4L Inline 4 NA! Couldn’t be more different on paper, yet they are both equally great cars! Would be an interesting fight.

@@ju4121 the new Lotus uses a Toyota V6 engine but that’s about it. On the other hand, the new Supra uses more than just the engine from BMW. The interior is BMW (buttons, and a old gen infotainment system), the pedals look just like the Z4, the chassis (the wheelbase is the same than the Z4!)… those are a few of the many things that are shared with BMW. Oh! Another thing, both the Z4 and the Supra are assembled in the same plant in Austria (idk if today, 2022 it’s still the case tho, I’d assume so..)

These are actually super under rated from the factory. US spec ones are dynoing at 210-215 wheel horsepower and 170-175 ft pounds.

That makes sense, because the 2.0L (FA20) in the GT86 made 205hp, or 102.5hp/liter. Now utilizing all the same engine technology and techniques, the GR86 increased the displacement to 2.4L by increasing bore size. There’s no reason it shouldn’t still be making 102.5hp/liter….So 102.5hp * 2.4 = 246hp for the GR86/‘22+ BRZ.

Thanks, you confirmed what I also concluded about the GR86. I just bought one and I am totally loving it. Ya just can't drive the 86 without smiling. It is soo much fun.
Manual is the way to go. Love it.
Well done. Toyota is killing it! These 2 cars are definitely on the short list. Now I just hope I am able to get one in at MSRP.
@Supra RCJPOP LOL. What a hater. I'd love to hear how it's worthless...
@Supra RCJPOP you must be a lil boy
@Supra RCJPOP sadly not as you wished, Supra actually been selling really good tho
@Supra RCJPOP cry
@Supra RCJPOP LOL The MK5 Supra has been doing very well.
The 86 is just such a wonderful car there's no other car like it... It's perfect in every way, you can recline your seat and sleep the seats are so comfortable and the interior is so sound and cozy, you have plenty of room to pack up for vacation or camping. The handling makes you feel like a professional right out of the gate, the sound system is above average, the simplicity of the interior makes you feel like you're sitting in a classic, nothing overwhelming about this car, it is the perfect balance. I can't find a reason to change my daily... I couldn't live without my 86
this is awesome to hear because i’ve recently been thinkin of trading in my corolla hatch for one and everything i’ve heard so far is definitely makin it seal the deal for me. can’t wait to finally have a fun rwd daily
@@saltpug3996 it’s a huge step up from the previous bodystyle, I’ve sold a few them.
If it's not a drop-top or targa, it can never be the perfect sportscar for me. Once you have that open air feeling while driving on a curvy country road, you'd never want to go back to a solid roof vehicle, no matter how light it is.
@@davepaturno4290 i feel you on that

Wish we can have a car that Toyota builds, Mazda tunes the suspension and designs the exterior with Honda providing the engine and shifter.
This is very probably ongoing Right now.
The gt3 concept with it's long hood is screaming Mazda collaboration rx9 vibes.
I believe, from my imperfect point of view, that the i3 we have in the gr Corolla and Yaris, are irl test mules for the i6 in that gt3 concept.
yeah I wish we could just reboot the s2000
They finally released a 6 speed Supra...... I'm sold.
@Supra RCJPOP my '21 supra hasn't gone down in value at all since I bought it, it's actually a fantastic investment right now especially in this market.
Can you please pat the shift knob in the Supra a little harder?
Thank you for saying what we were all thinking lol
Got a grey GR86 on the 2nd of September, I believe it was one of the last brand new ones sold in the UK, it's brilliant fun, the dash everything it needs to say
I've got one arriving in 3 weeks. Maybe I'm part of the last allocation.
"The supra felt lazy and heavy"
So like a Supra then?
Right? Supras were always GT cars. This newest one is just lighter than the 2 previous models.
Real talk
@Supra RCJPOP Would be a 1000bhp monster once you spend another 30-40k grand haha
I'm no car review analyst, but I don't feel that way about mine at all. Granted, I also don't track it...
The supra is anything but lazy, it feels jittery to drive
I mean the Mk4 Supra was not a sports car, it was a GT compared to the other Japanese competition. It's a beast for drag race and touring. If you wanted a light sports car you went for the RX7. The Nissan and Mitsubishi options kinda split the difference. We act like the Mk4 was the RX7 lol.
True that and I'm flabbergasted that this point is not mentioned more often. Yes the following cars here from Japan in the 90s were awesome: RX7, 3000GT, WRX, Evo, Celica, Prelude, S2000, Miata, MR-2, Supra, 300ZX; but they were often nothing alike (eg Miata or MR2 vs. 3000GT or 300ZX) and these days you'll see people comparing Miatas to GR86s...like, what?!?!
Go look up the weights of these in twin turbo configs in their last years. The Supra was lighter than all but the RX-7.
@@ChrisSoignierso? 3500lbs is still heavy
LC500 is the new Supra
Interesting: this is one of the most aggressive reviewers of the car. Meanwhile, a lot of other magazines had much better things to say about the original MK5 supra. As an owner, and an owner of a fair bit of other sports cars, this reviewer is way off the mark with the comments about the car being lazy and feeling heavy. First, it weighs less than nearly every other car in its class and it has quite quick and twitchy steering. My gripe is that it is too twitchy and takes away confidence in the turns / switchbacks. I felt more confidence in driving my F80 than I do in the Supra, BUT the Supra has some nice bits to the experience (like the exhaust) that compensate for the twitchyness at the limit.
He is trying to appeal to a certain part of the audience, it’s kinda pathetic though
@@Ober1kenobi came across that way to me as well.. it was like anGR86 infomercial... more than heavily biased..
So true can’t believe he said ~3300lbs is heavy I hope he understands we’re lucky to get anything under two tons now a days 😂
@@leolopez626 Top Gear went downhill
Sounds like you could use a different alignment if it’s that twitchy?
Literally only person that has complained about the Supra. Car is properly balanced and is a solid sports car. Having the 6spd option just makes it much better.
Agreed. This journalist is just a shill talking non sense. Top gear is proper shit now.
The B58 is far better suited to the zf8 in my opinion. Definitely in the BMW's I've driven. Not sure what box this is though
the GR86 is 6.4 seconds in AT
My MT GR with wider tires does 0-60 5.6s avg
A manual supra in yellow or a manual gr86 in white are definitely some options for me in the future. I hope they sell a decent amount of both in the uk so I can get them used for a bit cheaper eventually
Did you pick either one up yet?
All this "disappointed by the Supra" bullshit... it's a fantastic car that people blag on about "it's a BMW".
It's a well build, fantastic car... and sure the manual box is what petrol heads wanted, and we got it.
ALL modern cars are heavy with the huge amount of electronics and safety kit.
Totally agree.. The Supra is the daily driver. The price difference in minimal now, about 4k in the UK.
OK comes across as a bit of a local journalist who's dad knew a bloke at top gear magazine. A great persona for publishing magazines.
Got mine last month. What a great car! What is also great about it is if toyota doesn't have parts (which they don't currently where I am at) you can always get parts from subaru
VS GR Yaris, I really want to see a threeway battle between the GR badge models
I really would of thought you would of put the 4 cylinder Supra vs the GR86 that would of made more sense.
I cant get my hands on a gr86 they need to make more
My local dealer (USA) has a 10 person waiting list. Had to get BRZ.
Did you just call Toyotas dishwashers with wheels? Show some respect boy.. Toyotas are very well designed in order to serve their purpose with safety. Not everything is made for performance.
GR86/BRZ is so GOOD
Guy is a wrangler on that shifter :o Glad I got my GR86, amazing car!
I test drove a Supra and it is fast and fancy and nice looking, but I did not feel connected to the road like I do with my 86, which is what made me fall in love with my gr
yeah, i just wish the gr86 has better styling. The supra is truly beautiful
“ The people who make loads of dishwashers “
The disrespect. Toyota has made over 30 sports cars and sporty cars or more in their lifetime. Toyota has a very colorful racing heritage and history. Have some respect. Some People like to ignore Toyota’s history
I think he was referencing Toyota's current lineup as opposed to all the cars they have ever made.

The only problem at this point are dealerships or should I say stealerships. I had to go out of state for my Neptune GR86 Premium to find a dealer that did msrp and actually had one that wasn't reserved yet. I feel it will be just as bad to get a manual Supra and I expect huge markups.
GR86 uses the same cruise control lever as my 8 year old Hilux. I guess the Toyota parts bin is well engineered so everything just works. I know it's not a sports car but every single thing on my Hilux works. Like the day it was new. It has never failed to start. And I've given it some shit. I live on a farm, it's off road and on road every single day. I got to hand it to Toyota, if they have made these sports cars as well as their old pickups they'll go on for ever.

The old fashioned cruise control actually works just fine. If it ain’t broke…
@@richardhoulton4016 ... don't fix it. Same here in the 2011 Prius with 200k miles without a glitch. Toyota simply makes superb cars.

Toyota Supra gets my vote !
Who else thought he was going to talk about how the Supra transmission feels like?
Still love my 13 FRS, but I'd love a gt4 version with the gr Yaris engine.
I love the GR86/BRZ. Have an 13 FRS right now (US GT86) and I’m running it out until the last possible minute to buy a new GR as I think we might not have many choices here in the near future so I want to get one to last me a while (have a daily so these cars see few miles).
I had a 2013 FR-S as well - until Friday! I gave the GR86 a lot of consideration, but ultimately the Supra won me over, ZF8 auto and all. Good luck with your GR86 search - they're scarce on the ground at the moment. You might actually have better luck with the BRZ (and finding one without a markup).
@@MVolkJ Hopefully with the Nissan Z and Honda Civic Si coming it would help the GR86 hype die down so I can get one myself MSRP though yeah, I may just be leaning towards the BRZ if that is the case.
Edit: also forgot about the GR corolla
@MVolkJ Also had a 13 frs. It blew up 😢 tying to decide between these two. Manual transmission. Are you happy you spent the extra money on the supra??
Don’t understand how happy I am that Toyota has listened to the community and are making good fun cars again
@Supra RCJPOP I was talking about the Yaris and Corolla
I'm in Belgium, I ordered one in June, it should be delivered in March '23. Looking forward!

Because the GR drove better.
@@khristoferyan And you know that how? Video never went into a comparison
@@RitchieBui severely biased review, if u could even cal it that
I like the new supra a lot. My buddy got one months ago and when he brought it by Iit was then I realized I don't fit well. im 6 foot 214 lbs and its a bit snug for me. I wish it wasn't.
I love my GR86, I think Toyota dropped the ball making it in a automatic, it seems you can find them everywhere, and the wait for Manuels is long. If the auto was a DCT I get it, but it’s not so what’s the point.
I have no complaints with my auto Supra /shrug
I'm getting rid of my beloved FK08 type R for a GR86. The civic is an absolute weapon, but I fine myself pining for RWD and I have to get my fix while I still can. it arrives in 3 weeks :D
Should’ve had the GR Yaris/Corolla as well
Ok so I had a GR86 for a few months before a guy in a Transit van came by and T-boned me, totaling it, and my dad has the manual Supra and lets me drive it every now and then.
The 86 is one of, if not, the most engaging and fun I have ever driven. From a pure emotional and driving feel perspective, you feel everything and it’s amazing. The steering tends to understeer sometimes when you really start to push it on a back road, but that is very easy to correct in that car and still it’s an insane amount of fun.
The Supra on the other hand is cool because of the power and the sound and how that manual feels (I had the auto GR86 sadly, so I wasn’t really able to experience rowing gears all that often). But when I say that steering makes me feel nothing, I mean I don’t feel a DAMN THING. It’s so numb on center that it almost throws off your confidence when you start to push it. It’s very hard to get a sense of where the wheels are when you’re about to throw it into a corner. I just don’t really feel anything while driving it. It’s cool for the power and how the chassis felt, but I hate the steering so much. It “weights up” in sport mode, but it’s just an elusion of feel and connectivity to the front wheels.
TL;DR: GR86 is the better drivers car out of the two IMO. The Supra has its place, but the steering needs a lot of work and retuning still.
Really wish they'd clean up some of the styling "vents" on the Supra. Even just the removing the vents on the doors would go a long way to cleaning up the design in my opinion.
Or make them functional
@@rulesyaface or that
@@rulesyaface not possible
Yes !!! THOUGHT THE SAME...ITS NOT A MID ENGINE FOR GODS SAKE THEYRE USELESS!!

have the GR86 and I love it, amazing car and definitley refined from the first gen 86
GR86, a great S2K replacement.
Miss that VTEC tho.
Currently watching gr86 videos to see if i want to sell my s2k for one. this comment might’ve made my decision for me
@Jansen Stettler depends on the year and mileage on your s2k. If the miles are low enough and it's an 06+ I'd side for the Honda. You'll probably retain most of your money in the long run with it too. S2k prices have been on a steady climb the past few years annoyingly for me. I can't believe I could have had a low mileage club racer for under 30k just 6 years ago. Now it's just about double.
@Jansen Stettler that being said I have an order in for a gr86 so I don't think either is the wrong choice.
I love my '22 BRZ. She handles and performs so well and makes driving fun, Every. Single. Time. She also outperforms average drivers on the road which always puts a smile on my face. lol

@@peejayem4700 bro, the 86 is called the "GT" 86 ... and its not a GT. the supra is a z4, which isnt a grand tourer either. its way too small.
You sir are my favourite car reviewer! As a previous gen 1 owner of a highly modified gt86 I haven't been completely sold on the idea that this is worth the money but after watching your review- I want a gr86 😅
The fact that they didn't stuffed the interior with piano black is remarkable.
can Toyota explain why it didn't equip this car with the yaris GR engine?
Man, if you told me in 2010 that Toyota would have a really awesome sports car range by 2022, I'd laugh at you... And yet, we got the GT-86, and then the GR Yaris, the GR-86, the Supra (even with a manual gearbox now), and even a GR Corolla (even the thought of being excited to see a video about a Corolla still sounds kinda absurd... But it looks like an awesome car). I don't know what happened to Toyota, but I hope they keep it up...
now if they could only put their own engines in the cars it would be even better
@@codeskhr4092 this doesn't really bother me as much as it seems a lot of other people. why fix what isn't broken? They can cut costs way down by using engines that are real world tested good engines.
As a 2nd generation BRZ owner for 2 years. The twins are amazing street sports car. Eager to be playful but also a best friend in slide. I can even foot to floor without fear of being flung into a tree or breaking the law (too much)
However if you have access to a track then I would go for Supra which can punch above its power if your good enough driver. I just know that give me power & I’ll use it and get myself into trouble.
Man the manual Zupra l is the best thing after the new Nissan Z
It’s the A90 then the Z. Nissan got gapped hard on the streets of willow.
Even with sears up I got 4 tires in there with my GR86 … and I’m 6’3” … my kids hated riding around in the car and my wife didn’t like it though so I sold it. Fun car for sure but don’t expect to be fast on the track.
should have sold your wife and kept this masterpiece instead... just friendly advice 🤣🤣
the GR86/BRZ along with Mazda's Miata have the world beat in the sports car realm. Affordability is a huge characteristic and key aspect of the 'fun to drive' aspect. Even if you have Supra/Nissan Z money, it would be wiser to choose the cheaper, smaller, lighter option anyway.
Nobody’s picking a brz over a nissan.
@@ThatOnedude374 I can afford a Z but I'm going with GR86. The interior of the Z is so ugly and I want a lighter car that is naturally aspirated. Also Nissan is a lame company.
@@ThatOnedude374 even if you have the money to spend, you might want to keep it for something else and get an incredibly enjoyable car.
It's not inconceivable to pick a Miata over a 911 GT3 (even if you can easily afford the GT3) given the money savings, and the fact that you're still getting a great car.
@@nn99nn99 the z looks cheap instead and out
This was a pretty disappointing video considering it's from Top Gear. I love the GR86 and defend entry level sports cars right to exist, but wow this guy really didn't give the Supra a fair shake at all. Why even include it in the video if the "comparison" is like... 30 seconds long.
Maybe because it was just more enjoyable driving the 86. Honestly speaks volumes that the supra got an embarrassing amount of screen time lol.
The Supra has been talked about to death, this model is an improvement, but it’s not transformational, still will be the one to buy if you think long term, more lower, lighter and manual all bode well for future values
It’s a blatantly biased video geared towards the GR86. He jumped into the seat of the Supra with nothing but negative comments from the start. He then immediately went into the 86 talking it up and dismissing that it’s slower in every aspect and has shitty interior. Combine that with a WORSE fuel economy and almost half the power? It’s overall a far worse car. As somebody who’s driven both cars (Supra in auto) I would argue that the Supra is just as refined but has so much more to offer. Now factoring in budget is a different story. If you can only afford the GR86 then that’s the car to get, but if your budget is over 50k I wouldn’t even glance at it. The video ends with him calling the GR86 the best sports car in Toyotas line-up which is pretty much a blatant disregard of the Supra’s capabilities.
@@HayateV3 with how much tech they had to cram into it because of using BMW parts im very doubtful that they feel anywhere near as engaging and grounded as the gr86. That's the overall argument i keep hear against the car, all its inputs feel artificial and not as connected as youd expect from an actual sports car. Im not saying its an objectively bad car but i feel its more comparable to something like an Infiniti q60 red sport, a grand touring coupe with enough power to raise your hair but cushy and filled with electronic assists to make your daily commute melt into the background.

I like the overall look of the gr86 but have never been able to get past the narrow wheels or cheap interior. Wasn't wowed by the Toyota (bmw) supra in the beginning but much more exciting in the flesh and rare and different enough to appeal.
