5 Things We Love About the 2022 Toyota GR86
After an epic ten-year run, Toyota has given the iconic 86 an upgrade and now has the support of Toyota's Gazoo Racing.
This has been one of the most exciting cars we've driven this year recently and there are many reasons why. However, for this blog, we've narrowed the list of our favourite things about the GR86 to just five. Would you agree with our list?
LEAN MACHINE
Weighing in at just 1,287 kilograms makes the GR86 the ideal sports car perfect for hitting those driving lines.
The low kerb weight means greater agility with less car to throw around those corners making it feel like a big go-kart for the road.
THREE-PEDAL THRILLS
You know Toyota is targeting the driving purists out there when they made the GR86 available with a manual gearbox.
Few modern sports cars are still offered with three pedals so this feature will certainly tip the scales in favour of the GR86 for some potential buyers.
CORNERING CONNOISSEUR
Even weight distribution combined with exceptional feedback through the steering gives the GR86 superior handling abilities.
It's an inevitability that the Toyota sports coupe will be a thrill on twisting mountain roads.
PENNYWISE PERFORMER
Starting at just $47,243 drive away, the GR86 is one of the most affordable new sports cars available only pipped by its brother-from-another-mother, Subaru BRZ, and the latest Mazda MX-5.
Toyota offers both automatic and manual transmission options at the same price and, for the kind of car you get for this money, we think it's the best bang-for-your-buck sports car on the market.
DIGITAL DELIGHT
As digital displays are becoming more common in modern cars, most of them are an assault on the eyes littered with useless information.
Where the GR86 excels is with its track mode that displays purely just the key information you want for those spirited drives.
Overall, the GR86 is a big improvement over the previous model and offers the driving experience that car enthusiasts have been begging for.
That perfect balance of modern technology and lightweight agility.
It is almost impossible to find another vehicle on the market that provides a true sports car experience at such an affordable price.
