toyota gt-86 review

The Good

great value for money, brilliant handling, accurate steering

The bad

Slightly gutless engine, cheap interior plastics, poor economy, cramped rear seats

Overview

lots of interior noise and cheap plastic interior materials, but we love the fact that the Toyota GT86 weighs only 1235kg. We’d like a bit more torque as the 2 litre engine has very little grunt at low rpm but we don’t want a turbo making it heavier or spoiling the response of the naturally aspirated motor. brilliant balance an handling and great fun to drive as long as you keep the rpm up. we think this car is a great buy for the price.
