2016 Toyota 86 GTS: owner review
Owner Review | 5 Jul 2021
86 / BRZ. At its best it's brilliant and an epic amount of fun, at worst a noisy car that can be tiresome. This is the trade off; the key is figuring out if it will work for you and if you will work for it. Used buying tip - I know they don't line up exactly but spec for spec the 86's are cheaper than the BRZ's for some reason. Maybe there's more of them. Mine is the first of the update Toyota 86 GTS cars from late 2016, a manual. I wanted something fun, affordable (we had a mortgage after all), yet still capable of commuting and road trips. Red was my third preference behind white or silver, but bonus find, red, 9 months old, 7,000km on clock, unmarked and unmolested for $30,500. Bargain. Three and a half years later and I still love it and the colour has really grown on me. Driving. On the right road I like wringing its neck and rowing through the gears, but once into 3rd or 4th gear in Victoria common sense prevails; 25km/h over the limit and there goes your license. In the real world being an idiot on public roads isn't an option. What makes it worth it then? In the country and on winding roads the fun is working for it, knowing that if you want the best out of it then concentrate on your driving, enjoy the bends and plan the overtaking - it will always mean one, usually two gearchanges, sometimes three. On the peak hour commute it's just 1st and 2nd gears, on-ramps and roundabout type fun anyway. Driving notes - the Spirit of Tasmania is a wonderful thing as are empty Tasmanian roads and a wife who likes taking a nap while I drive. To the elephant in the room - power. Yeah I'd take more, and if I tracked it I'd probably want that, but mostly on the road I'd never get to use it. For highway driving it's not underpowered, you're just lazy and not on it like you should be! It's fair to say the engine isn't an aural masterpiece, but it's willing to rev, the car is RWD and has an LSD, the engine is set back and low slung; good for balance and weight distribution. The traction and stability control can be turned off, not that I do. The suspension is compliant for a sports car, while you'll feel bumps in the road it's still well composed and doesn't dive under brakes or lean in corners. You will notice coarse chip bitumen, changes in surface, rough roads, tram tracks etc. If this is a turn off then look elsewhere. Mine is the daily driver you have when you don't drive daily. I'm a desk bound worker and pre COVID sometime bicycle commuter (everyone needs some exercise right?), but nowadays virtual working has taken off. I drove well under 10,000km per year previously and now that’s even lower. We use the wife's automatic runabout for shopping and domestic duties, and that doesn't see 10,000km annually either. Did I mention she's never been interested in driving my car? Back to the 86. The interior is functional, comfortable for me - I'm not tall though - the seats are excellent and heated, there's airbags, keyless entry & start, a reverse camera, navigation, climate control (cooling works well), cruise control and audio controls on the steering wheel but that's it. The stuff you regularly touch feels good, the rest is basic. The bluetooth works, there's no Carplay or Android auto, but a host of aftermarket headunits will slot straight in. There is a kid size back seat that'll never be used. Fold that seat and with the front wheel removed my road bike will fit without trouble. Interior lighting is ordinary, and I use the digital speedo not the analogue one - it isn't in my field of vision when driving. That digital power read out, g-force thingo, lap timer don't get used. The door bins take drink bottles while the sunglass case and phone sit in the open console. Adequate. Exterior styling - I think it's fine, you'll have your own opinion of course. Fuel economy on 98 Octane is about 9.5l per 100km for low speed inner Melbourne driving. Open country rounds and fast freeway driving returns 6.3 to 7.0, fun on winding roads around say Tasmania 7.3 - 7.5l per 100km. Boot storage is enough for a road trip for two. It will take a medium suitcase, a large overnight bag and another soft bag of odds and ends. Things to note - the LED headlights I find pretty good. Rearward vision takes a little getting used to. The reverse camera really is required to be honest and over the shoulder vision isn't great either. Problems? None mechanically, it's only done 33,000km and isn't yet 5 years of age. The interior and body on mine is holding up well; it's rattle free actually and always has been, but I reckon the red paint chips away a bit too easily on the bonnet and roof. Brakes and steering. Brakes are fine, I'm not Mark Webber and as I mentioned track days are non existent. Steering is nicely weighted, responsive, really accurate and the steering wheel feels good in hand. One quirk is after a cold start second gear changes need 3km of driving to warm up then smooth out. Once warmed up quicker gear changes are better. We do the odd country and interstate trip so I ditched the space saver in favour of a full size spare (don't buy a new one as there's plenty available quite cheaply second hand). My car still runs the original tyres. In regard to breaking traction, with a combination of first and second gears, corners and wet roads, it doesn't need much provoking to get a reaction - beyond that the traction / stability control will gently step in. Any other conditions and you really need to be trying. Drifting? Not my thing. Modifications - none really, the speakers were replaced because they were woeful, some sound deadening applied and the sound tube blocked off. Acceptable, but it isn't a quiet car. Plans for it? None, keep it, enjoy the cheap thrills. I'll think about a swap to the GR86 in 3 or 4 years time, after they do a refresh. A few years after that is what I guess will be the end of the road for petrol powered sports cars. I hope you enjoyed the read!
2012 Toyota 86 GT: owner review
Owner Review | 14 Jun 2021
After 3 years in an old, beat-up Lancer with no AC, I wanted what every teen wants: A fun, reliable and sporty car with good fuel consumption that won't cost me more than what my part-time job could afford. Enter the Toyota GT86. Overall a great, sporty car with fantastic handling whilst still being tame enough to hit a good level of fuel consumption and not attract police attention on the roads. ~140hp at the wheels leaves much to be desired in the way of power, however with the car weight broaching only ~1000kg, it is enough power to get you out of sticky situations on the road. l found that a combination of rearwheel drive and the factory stock tires are AWFUL in wet weather conditions (on a normal commute), and experiencing slight drifting and extra caution is definitely required on rainy days - this got tiresome, and is dangerous. Without the rain, this is a car that handles BEAUTIFULLY, with a fast response. Manual transmission feels very smooth and sharp, almost feels like a short shifter. I love the sleek, sporty appearance which reminded me of a budget Lexus LFA (without all the cool techy/performance upgrades). Interior is nice - simple with comfortable bucket seats for driver and front passenger, however the back seats may as well not exist - they will barely fit a small adult passenger, let alone two. The car itself has always been reliable for me, however the practicality ... well, don't buy a sports car expecting it to be practical! Boot space is dismal - although the back seats do fold flat, don't expect to be able to take much more than about 2 medium-sized suitcases. There is some room to stack things in the back seat if you're able to shimmy it through the front two doors... It is awkwardly shaped and hard to reach the backseat. Having said that, I was able to stack a few small boxes (with the seats folded flat). Improvements that could be made.... add more POWER! Whether that be a turbo or supercharger. It would make the car 1000 times more fun and worthwhile owning.

2016 Toyota 86 GTS review
Owner Review | 14 Jul 2019
I get some strange looks each week from the new parents as I pull into drop off or pick up my two little girls from kindergarten. One Dad got out of his SUV (looking a little depressed) and as we walked to drop our kids off he commented to me, "you realize that is not a family car don't you?" (gesturing to my orange 2+2 seater Toyota 86). I simply looked at him with a big smile on my face and said "it's my family car." Then my four year old add's "it's the fun car!" So often I see young drivers loving this car, which is great, but I bought the car second hand (18 months ago) because I needed to get something practical (at least more practical than my Mazda NB MX5) to fit my young family in. In case it is not clear yet, I am a bit of a car guy. So when I started my search I did what I had done for friends around me and formulated a list of what I really wanted and needed from my car. When I really broke it down I wanted to recapture this magic of my small, rear wheel drive MX5 in a slightly bigger, safer, as reliable and more practical package. With a budget of around $25K my options go very limited fast with the Toyota 86 / BRZ twins being my stand out choice. Obviously I considered opening wider to front wheel drives (Ford Fiesta ST or VW Golf GTI would have been my front runners) or just going into debt (BMW M235i or older Lotus Avora would be front runners) but my experience with the 86/BRZ was great and when I took my 3 year old with me to test drive she loved it also which was an added bonus. So how has my ownership actually been? With multiple trips to hardware stores, tight car parks, kids dance concerts, track days and daily commuting this car has been asked to be a jack of all trades. The reliability has been as bulletproof as the Toyota reputation would have you to believe. I have taken advantage of the capped price servicing and been really happy with the dealership experience. If you are sensible with expectations you will be constantly surprised by the boot space and how much you can fit in the car, especially when the single fold down rear seats are laid down. Carparks can sometimes be a little difficult with very steep driveways you need to be sensible to not ruin the front guard as well as being conscious of the large doors making ingress and egress difficult when cars are tightly parked. The cabin has everything that I need for a good driving experience but not much extra. What the cabin does have is: excellent seating position, quality major touch points (i.e. steering wheel, gear stick and door trim), effective climate control, reverse camera and clear gauges. The cabin misses out on: centre console arm rest, a decent entertainment unit, sensors front or rear and clever storage in the cabin. After about 12 months of ownership I did decide to make some modification to the car. I am very happy with what I have done which is: • Header and over pipe with a dyno tune. This tune was focused on eliminating the torque dip from the factory. • Upgraded brakes. Standard brakes are great for road use but they did not stand up to repeated lapping on a track. • Upgraded tyres. Again standard tyres are sufficient and help with good economy in everyday use but I was looking for some additional grip. In short, I love my car, not because it is the most practical, technology laden, comfortable or most powerful but because it has what I need (practicality) as well as what I want (fun factor). If you don't know what I mean by fun factor, I recommend find a wiggly line on a map and a 86 / BRZ, Ford Fiesta ST, Fiat 500 Abarth, Mazda Mx5 or Hyundai i30N…
