I bought a new 2019 86 TRD at the end of January. It only had 6 miles on it when I bought is and now I have over 14k miles on it. I love my car so much! It is the most fun I have had driving a car! Would a little more power be nice? Yes! But honestly i don't think it really needs it. It is so much fun to drive around twisty roads and i may or may not have allegedly gone 134mph so it is plenty fast. It is a real drivers car. And when i drive my other cars or other people's cars it just isn't as fun.
i got my TRD 86 in June 2019, and i love it so much. That's my baby. it drives so well, the pedal box is set up great for heel toe, the brakes are so amazing, around a nice curvy road i never find myself needing more power. spend $1500 on a nice header and a tune and the torque dip is gone and you will never ask for more power.
i remember the days when putting a "TRD" or "STI" name on soemthing actually meant that the car had increased performance,not just an exhaust or a little hose or something
I feel this man. I just got one and the suspension and brakes are very very nice. Lack of power tho. But this dude perfectly described this car. Just a bunch of fun without a ton of risk
You don’t have to wait till 2021/ put a HKS Supercharger in, increase it to 290bhp! The Supercharger is good for 400bhp, but you have to forge the internals in the engine, which I may do next year.
All I gotta say is when you’ve got close to a 100 views and comments and just dropped it. Damn. Passion and success go hand in hand. To your success Joe. Keep me coming. I was thinking about one of these. Love them. The handling is magic.
You should compare this head to head with the 2018 BRZ tS. Would like to see which you like better and also wish you did a full review like this on the tS. Love watching your videos because I lived in the area in which you do your reviews and feels like home. Keep up the great work!
Joe I am hereby submitting my formal request to see you do a track day or rally day or something. Would love to see you punching through gears while giving us pointers at the same time. It's like these cars brings out the pro driver in you! I enjoyed this one, thank you!♥️
My roommate had this exact configuration (right down to the tacky graphic), plus an after market exhaust. Sounded great! Pretty slick car, but jesus christ, everyone knew when he was off to work in the morning.
The 86 looks the part. It handles the part. It's not going to win a drag race. It's not designed for that. Yes, it could use another 50 horses (and a ton of interior design tweaks) and it would be perfect. The 86 is a fun car to drive. Think of a bigger version of the Miata. It's a handler and does so better than most vehicles on the road. BTW, it'll still run 0-60 in the 6 second range. It's not slow. It's not fast. The interior, like I said, is simply horrid. But that's another story.
The Spartan, so to speak, interior Will weed out the posers though. That thing is amazing in any trim, and sometimes I wish I'd gone for the 86. I wound up with a Veloster N though, no slouch either as I tested both. The lightness of The 86 is freaking magical. Nice Review Joe, it's awesome to hear your reaction when you push this little fella 😂😂😂!!
I was wondering where the vid was........well done Joe to you and the team, nice vid, as per your usual high standard.🙌🙌 Love those wheels on that 86!!
Yea I got my frs at 18 and I love everything bout it , Im waiting to see what the new gen 86 or Brz has to offer if it’s worth to me I’ll wait but if not I’ll get a 2019 trd 86 and boost it
Man I always loved that car! I had a scion fr-s 2013 brand new! I wish I have that car now! The only reason I got rid of it! Is because living in Chicago in the winter months it wasn't safe to drive! And for me driving to work everyday on clear day took 40 minutes, now with snow day's! And ice forget it i might as well call in sick! It would take 2 hours!
I’ve notice on some videos, you add your logo over the speedometer. Are you not allowed to show the speed on certain manufactures or reviews in general?
Very very nice styling on the 2019 Toyota 86 TRD it's a very nice looking car but the only thing that's not worth the price at all is the horsepower. Nice color, rims, and all the above. Would love to see a 2019 Toyota Tundra TRD PRO 1 day. Thanks Joe.
@@RaitisRides Thanks Joe. I can't wait for the 2020 Tundra. The 2020 Tacoma has already dropped along side the 2020 4RUNNER TRD PRO trims. Thanks a lot.
Very nice car. I miss my Toyota Celica GT-S TRD. Great handling cars. If you really want to have some fun with that car, take it on a backroad with a lot of turns and twists. Awesome review!!
I feel, I sound like a Downer, which I don't want to be. This Car, The MR2, The beautiful Honda Del Sol... Im a huge fan, which means Im 6'3. I can wiggle into it, but when I try to exit the vehicle ZONK not comfortable getting out! Add the Mazda RX-7 Generation 1 - beautiful little car, del Sol was my favorite small car. When the RX-7 gen 1 was out, my bro liked the Fiat X1-9.
I'm hoping that the next gen 86/BRZ will have a flat 6 300hp+ and an updated higher quality interior style and design. Keeping the price reasonably low. That would really make me want to get this car.
Which is more fun to drive, this or Mazda MX5? Which is faster? Which costs more? Is it a coin toss? I know, too many questions. I’m glad I don’t have to decide which one to buy. Nice review Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Hi I have a question all of the models of the Toyota gr86 can change automatic transmission to manual transmission? And also is a used Toyota gr86 can have that?
@@RaitisRides I've never driven the 86, but have been in one. I had an NC (2006) MX-5 that I liked a lot. But then, it had a bit more room than the ND, which needs to be a tick bigger both inside and out, so I know what you mean about comfort. On the other hand, the 86 is just TOO retro - looks like a '90s car, especially on the inside. Looking forward to its refresh/update.
I love a rare car and this car is a load of fun to drive and you can easily turn in into a race car with a big old supercharger on there or turbo pick your poison 400hp 86 is dangerous
i actually got my TRD 86 from the dealership for 28k! they had it in the showroom for over a year and i could just tell they wanted to sell it so i haggled a bit and got the price down from 32k to 28k with included chip protect and tinted windows (no extra cost). Im sure the toyota dealership sold it so low cause they needed more showroom space for the upcoming 2020 supra.
I like these a lot, I loved my Subaru variant when I owned it, and it's still an amazing driving experience...but in 2019, they really need to add a bit more power to the car. It's not nearly as good of a value as it was when it debuted IMHO, unless the buyer is dead-set on this somewhat traditional sports coupe 2+2/RWD layout, in which there are very few options available remotely close to this price.
So you gave two different production numbers during this video and haven't been able to find the answer online. At the beginning of the video you said they only made 1,418. then about half way through you said 1,484. haha Which number is correct?
I like these cars but, $33K. That's too much for me. For me, I'd get like a used 2013 Scion FRS for like $10K for a fun little handling car on the side.
Its disgustingly overpriced at $33k. Carries no value or practicality either. Fake Vents, McDonalds pin stripe, no tech or convenience, but then again thats because its "old school".
