This is my favorite car of this generation and I'm so excited to get behind the wheel of one. With the new engine, it's feasible to squeeze out 250~ish hp and 200~ish torque without boosting and compromising the car's reliability, which is like the perfect amount for the car in near-stock form.

Only problem is how fucked interests rates are right now. Even with 17k CAD down that interest here is nuts. Still got one. Waited 2 years for a neptune blue. Love it to bits and its such a general upgrade that makes the chassis really shine.
I'm really sorry to be a spoil sport! I had a GT86, then I got an S2000. When I heard about GR86 I said I'll get one but I drove it and it is so tame compared to S2000, I think my only option now is an NA Cayman!

It genuinely makes me sad that this is probably one of the last cars ever that will be built like this. Gas powered, manual transmission, RWD. It seems like every car is just going to be the same thing in the coming years and as a life long car enthusiast, I'm not excited about it.

You’re more interested in the Corolla I’m more interested in the Yaris gr I know if the Corolla went back to a rear wheel drive semi sporty car then yeah I will consider it but it’s nowhere near what it was and sadly it never will be as great as it was ever again The Yaris GR is all-wheel-drive and a turbo three cylinder that makes as much power as a turbo four-cylinder how is that not cooler than a Corolla that has a trim package and the same motor it’s always had???
@Kerim Temel you can always change the seating position and the ride height you do know that right I don’t know how much that would be after it’s in Canadian money but I just googled it and it’s going to be between 39 and $49,000 Canadian which is a steal for a sports car made from Toyota especially one that is a rally car at that you’re forgetting that you can literally make a car your own and not everyone buys a car just to keep it stock if I buy a car I wanna make it my own and if I wasn’t comfortable with the sitting position you can always change the seat or literally make up a new mounting bracket that’s shorter than the original one that comes on the car or you can just lower the car

MX5 doesn't have fake engine noise either. Which is really obnoxious in this new car. I have always preferred the MX5 as they are just comfier to drive daily. The MX5 engines are better too.

I remember when gen 1 first came out. When Australia still had Melbourne/Sydney car show I went had a look. Looks way easier to get in and out of straight off.
Yeah, I have to agree. I don't hate New supra but I don't have much love for it. It begs for real vents and there's whole bmw thing. I won't bitch about engine as as far as I know Toyota was involved in it since day one. Somehow proto Z/400 Z feels like it's more honest sportscar..... And now to contradict my point I'd rather import used corvette.
@@Sephiroth391 myself, every time I look at the new GR Supra all I see is a car that reminds me of those F355 kit cars made out of an MR2. It looks like someone saw the Supra prototype and thought "I can't afford one of those so I'll rebody a bmw z4 with a kit off the Internet".
I am considering switching my Civic Si with the NA Vtec to this one, the upcoming Civic Type R, or the new Integra. SO rare to have an FR car with a NA engine and manual transmission these days. Respect to Toyota:)
Uhh, you know they're identical torque and power figures right? The first gen both had a 2.0L boxer, the second gen both use the 2.4L boxer. There is no mechanical difference between comparable model years of these cars. Unless you're comparing a new model to an older model, which nothing in your post actually suggests.
There is no mechanical difference between the new BRZ and the GR86, if there is any difference then it would be in the suspension tuning like the previous models

FBO tune and slight drop : shes PERFECT😮💨😮💨😮💨
I remember when gen 1 first came out. When Australia still had Melbourne/Sydney car show I went had a look. Looks way easier to get in and out of straight off.
The sound of this Boxer 4 is really good
Well I guess we all know when the embargo was…geez, I got like 5 of these review alerts right at 7am on 8/17.
Thanks for watching ours
And it's funny how Toyota released theirs after Subaru but still no Subaru reviews. Thanks guys for giving us the first hands on review! 🙌
@@JEtienneMusic because there's a special tune input by GR team and Akio Toyoda to differ themselves with BRZ.
@@saltymonke3682 most excellent!
Never been so excited for a review, maybe cuz I'm getting one!!! 💯💥😁🍾
What colour
@@TheStraightPipes I'm going with white, with the Limited packaging! 🤍 thanks for the awesome review!
Last of the proper affordable sports cars. Also, love this a lot more than the GR Supra.
Yeah, I have to agree. I don't hate New supra but I don't have much love for it. It begs for real vents and there's whole bmw thing. I won't bitch about engine as as far as I know Toyota was involved in it since day one. Somehow proto Z/400 Z feels like it's more honest sportscar.....
And now to contradict my point I'd rather import used corvette.
@@Sephiroth391 myself, every time I look at the new GR Supra all I see is a car that reminds me of those F355 kit cars made out of an MR2. It looks like someone saw the Supra prototype and thought "I can't afford one of those so I'll rebody a bmw z4 with a kit off the Internet".
You guys have some of the best PIP overlays I’ve seen on RUclips. Great video!
Looks better than the old 86 by a longshot.
I find the old model better tbh
@@shadbud9198 same. I prefer the older model. I like BRZ's style compared to 86's now.
🤣🤣🤣
The first gen wasn't a bad looking car, but I agree this one looks great
0:22 match cut - I see you
The Boxster's name is also derived from the fact that it has a BOXer engine and it is a roadSTER.
Really, captain obvious? 🙀
Not obvious for me, so thanks a lot Cody!
Wow I didn't know this.
Thanks didnt knew it then
Picking mine up in the morning so freaking stoked.
I am considering switching my Civic Si with the NA Vtec to this one, the upcoming Civic Type R, or the new Integra. SO rare to have an FR car with a NA engine and manual transmission these days. Respect to Toyota:)
not waiting for the new Z?
@James Jamess New Z will probably be in a different price bracket, then again, dealer markup for all these cars will be crazy.
@@Thumplepuss Not really. The next-gen Type-R is getting a price bump and the Intgera is surely gonna be luxury car price.
@@Drew.DrivesYT twin turbo
@@Drew.DrivesYT there’s probably a huge price difference
Yoooo that Picture in Picture with the phone and drift is next level. Y’all still one of my favorite reviewers on YT
good exhaust sound
I cant believe the transitions in this video, amazing!
Lets all dump on Toyota GR perfection by calling it a car that you buy your kids
Sickest cut ever, in the beginning.
hold up i didn’t pay attention so i just heard: “And were ready to die!”😂
This is not a starter car! This is a final car!
GR 86 I will take instead of the BRZ. A little extra power and torque is what I need for a rear wheel drive sports car.
Uhh, you know they're identical torque and power figures right? The first gen both had a 2.0L boxer, the second gen both use the 2.4L boxer. There is no mechanical difference between comparable model years of these cars. Unless you're comparing a new model to an older model, which nothing in your post actually suggests.
There is no mechanical difference between the new BRZ and the GR86, if there is any difference then it would be in the suspension tuning like the previous models
In 20-30 years this will be one of the most sought after cars out there
Ooof, might look into this as my second car. Hopefully they don't still abuse the shortage excuse by next year for financing/leasing.
You guys literally have the best job
Yes
As a 2020 BRZ owner, I'm pretty hyped to see the torque dip go, can't wait to test drive one of these twins
0:17 pretty slick editing, thought it was really good throughout the video
This might be the third or fourth time I'm watching this video...
Guys genuinely enjoying the car !
I agree, this is the perfect first sportscar! Hopefully I can convince my brother to get one instead of a Mustang.
Lol let your brother get what he wants. Get what you want. Simple
@@interceptingfist5682 Hello mustang fanboy. Why do you care?
Someone got hurt feelings
these edits are just going next level!
I would definatly buy this for the 18 year old kid I don't have.
If you did, you couldn’t.
Lmao
That 18 year old kid is in everyone of us
Unpopular opinion: super happy that toyota is keeping the real buttons for the info-tainment rather than all touch screen! Sure easy use while driving
When my girls get old enough to drive they're getting a Lada...
Solid choice! They have some great RWD models. Here in central europe I see classic Lada models really tricked out and very capable.
Mine get a 240 Volvo Wagon
@@nycmaverick Also a good choice. Probably a lot safer than a Lada.
I'm so excited to finally get my hands on one of these damn machines. 2024 for sure, I'm still doing things to my current car
Toyota has brought back the fun factor. Can't wait to see the GR Corolla
Had a 86 supercharged......love this new version....!!!
To be honest, with the mic picking it up, it sounded like a rotary, im not alone right?
It's weird. It sounds so much better inside the cabin. I don't expect it to have a fake sound from the speakers.
So true lol a na 13b
@@morepanicboy7120 at least its real and not speakers they talk about it in the video.
@@morepanicboy7120 havent heard the GR86 in person so planning to test drive one *once this damn situation were in right now is over hopefully*
The fake engine noise or ASC (active sound control) in the new 86 is fake.
