These cars are so addictive. My 2018 brz has me going to buy milk when I have milk.

Love the fact I need friends with no legs to satisfy the design of those back seats.

why can't Nissan update the damn 370z. fuck

Is it me or I just like turning the key?

But I read a lot about how fun this little cheap, under-powered car was to drive when there was (gasp!) a turn in the road. And then I found out what this little car running on basically Prius tires was about. You can throw this low mounted flat four into turns as hard as you want.... it punches thru with so little effort. It is a sports car. Not a muscle car. A sports car. Turns...curves....this is what makes these little cars such an absolute joy to drive.

I pick mine up Saturday at 10:00 AM, first time in my life I've been excited about the car I own.

"Friends with no legs"

Just bought my 2017 yesterday, so far i love everything about it!

The exhaust sounds soooo much better than the subaru

what's with this guy and push button start, honestly I've had cars with push start and honestly see it as a gimmick rather than a necessity it's just another thing you'll have to pay extra for when it goes bad. I'll stick to the old fashion way of starting a car

The Toyota looks better, the Subaru has better features

Sofyan, I used to not like your reviews because I thought you were very biased but you've much improved and you explain things very well. I've subbed again. Keep up the great work.

I’ve watched this so many times just to listen to the visceral sounds of this beautiful and delightful machine.

this looks way better than the brz and old frs imo. this is a sports car, sure those luxury features would be nice but people buy this car for the way it drives more than anything. only notable I'd like to see is replacing old scion screen with toyota entune and filling the other side of the steering wheel with some buttons.

9:30 "really just reserved for your friends with no legs or small children" LMAO

Convertible guy? Push start? Alright California Girl. 😂

I'm going to get the automatic and you can't stop me

Am I the only one who loves to have Key rather than a remote controll for my car?

I flew all the way to Miami to get one of these and drove it back home and I honestly lost track of time cause of how fun it is to drive

The back is reserved for your friends with no legs. hahaha You worked that in there so smoothly haha excellent

The new Toyota actulay looks better than the BRZ this model year in my opinion.

"Backseat for your friends with no legs"😂😂😂. Backseat designed for CrazyLegs from Don't Drink your Juice in the Hood

Personally I'm glad this car has an auto option. I'm paralyzed and the adaptation for a manual is 5k dollars on top of the standard hand controls that I need. And as you can see by my picture, I bought this car, so kudos to you Toyota.

Best review of the 86! Finally someone gives it the credit it deserves!

Now the front looks like a shark, awesome :)

Scion FRS has the better exterior, BRZ has the better interior.

I realize this and the BRZ are about the same but as a younger 17 year old and I'm gung-ho on new technology, I love the simplicity of the 86. It's just car and man. No buttons and crap. Just a key. Like little things that I appreciate about this Toyota which also helps with reliability.

"Reserved for your friends with no legs"😂😂

You can tell all the money went to the driving dynamics because the interior looks as if it was just thrown together with no plan or development money. From the aftermarket infotainment to the previous generation Toyota Yaris climate control knobs. But I guess you can forget about that since it's fun to drive. It was like I was watching Sam Haymart all over again.

im watching this waaaaaaay too serious, but then you said "and the backseats are still on the tiny side, really reserved for just, uhm, your friends with no legs" really got me. good one right there. anyways, I think this is waaaay better looking than the new brz, the only downside is the interior accessories. yes I get it, people buy this for the feel and the way it drives. But hey, it's still a good option to have.

Why would that exhaust cost $1100 when it sounds like stock? lol

They need to bring the Trueno badges.

Oh man, you KNOW they tuned that TRD exhaust to make the FA20 sound like the good ol' 4A-GE.

a key is never old technology. the minute that push button dies , your ass is stranded. I'll take a key for -$1000 alex

I figured I’d jump in. I own a 2017 86. Bought it new in 2017, and I have 64k miles. Overall, the car is great. I personally prefer the “lower rent” interior of this car, as I don’t need an engineering degree to operate the climate control or the stereo system. The car also gets about 40mpg if you cruise on the highway. Not a bad little car. Fun when you want it, gas saver when you need it.

The seats, key, spoiler, instrument cluster, additional buttons on the steering wheel, head unit, climate control dials, backup camera, parking sensors and esp settings on the 86 are all optional depending on your country and budget. If your country offers the GT86- The seats are available in red/black, in alcantara/leather or cloth. You can have the keyless entry, rear wing, full botton range on the steering wheel, head unit, climate control, and esp settings that the US only offers in the BRZ. Parking sensors are standard, the camera is optional.

Love the stance and the TRD wheels on the Toyota model ! That Toyota badge looks right at home on a sports coupe... reminds me of the god ol days when Toyota had a tons of great driving cars in their lineup. I hope this car is a start to that return !

"the back seats are really reserved for your friends with no legs" 😂

When that thing goes above 5k rpm it just really comes alive. I love that noise, it made me smile so hard

God that TRD exhaust is perfect. Not loud or ricey. I could live with that.

he said it's based off the frs? it is the frs with a badge change lol..

I think the most important things in a car to this guy are push button start and it being a convertible

This car is just for me. All of my friends are legless!

Dude, I love your reviews! But I especially love the fact that you're a car guy, and extremely enthusiastic!!! Great reviews, and thank you!

Toyota needs to ditch that Fujitsu Ten head unit. Subaru is doing it, and they're adopting carplay/android auto

like others have said, this should be renamed the 2017 Toyota Celica

I'm not gonna complain about the power (or lack therof), instead I'm just gonna be glad that Toyota is building a RWD car again.

This is under the top 5 reviews of cars that you had the most fun in.

brz looks better imo. toyota messed up the front imo

Everyone: Toyota 86 : slow

Just got my 86 and LOVE IT. This video helped me decide so thank you!

Ended up going with the Miata over an 86... built quality and focus on the driver just seemed significantly better... 86 was too plasticky while I was able to obtain a GT Miata for $26k out the door without trade in, tag transfer, etc. As advertised, the Miata just put a smile on my face :-)

My dream car since I was 18. Just finished college and I'm 23. Hope I'll find a better job to be able to purchase this gem before they stop producing them.

Not gonna lie, it just looks like someone punched the happy little BRZ in the mouth, and now it has a fat lip. Too bad they had to make it ugly, seems like the BRZ is gonna be bringing in the bigger end of the stick for buyers...

The best part was when he said back seats for friends without legs lmao 👍

Subbed for the Sonys and proper sports car appreciation! The rest of the review has proven my guess. Comprehensive insights for people how enjoy driving not showing off. Keep it up!

BRZ def looks more premium and mature

To "86"; "86'd" - To get rid of. A slang term that is used in the American popular culture as a verb to mean throw away , discontinue or get rid of. How appropriate.

"6 speed manual which is the only way you should purchase this car" FUCK YEAH! - Great review brother.

This 86 seems more honest than the BRZ, especially the Limited. Hope Toyota does a performance package version like the BRZ yellow edition. Will be a hard choice between this and the MX-5 RF.

Does anyone else want the FT86 to have more horsepower? If it had at least 240hp, it would an amazing sports car ever

1100 for a TRD muffler is worth it? nah... Not when full catbacks are less than a grand.

I wish the speedo was big rather than the revmeter. Who needs to look at their revs? You get that natural feel in no time

I remember when I first immigrate here in 90, my young sister bought for me Toyota SR5 hatch back and 5 speed manual transmission. Wow it was fantastic car for me at that time. Engine T100 seemed to last ever. This was used with 75K in odometer I rode until 7 year later and odo coming 250K then for a junk car 150 dollars. Toyota makes manual transmission is so great. Swear to god I did not know this company still keep manual transmission until I watch this video. By a few of cars I rode until I bought Nissan SR in 17. CVT transmission is so great too. I am thinking maybe next year I will buy 86 back again with manual T......Love it....(cop's speeding ticket watch out too...lol)

I loved the scion TC 🙃😭

Why do revamped cars ALWAYS get uglier?

I've only been driving for half a year and just got my red p plates and I've been driving a gen 3 Holden barina, I got used to the feel of it. I've been looking at rwd coupes for ages and saw the 86 twins and fell in love, on the internet. Then today I went down to Toyota and actually sat inside a 2016 gts 86 and its was fucking amazing, everything about it is perfect, the throws into gears were so short, crisp and clean, even into reverse. It has 106 more hp than my barina so it's plenty quick for me, only thing I don't like about it is it has back seats, I want to rip them out but it looks nice with them. The seats are awesome, the shifter and handbrake are close to the wheel. The interior is far cleaner and more comfortable and compact than the barina I'm in love. Plus it runs the same engine as a wrx so you can run the same turbo for more power, I think when I do decide to upgrade the power though I'll aim for 500 horses, aaand that'll mean I'll need to replace the engine block and a few other bits and bobs

The 17 86 special edition does have keyless entry/start as well as a matching spoiler to the BRZ. The 86 also has the heated leather seats. It looks like your driving the base model and not the special.

Sofyan do you do reviews as your primary job? Or do you work a 9-5 or do anything else? Nice work btw! Keep it up!

I want that steering wheel on my frs

Everytime I see one of these on the road I think that is the slowest fasted looking car in production. That extra 5hp adds to the "visceral feel" I'm sure.

At 14:38 the rear seats came down and Ken didn't even notice😂😂

O O O......O'Reilly 🔧🔧🔧

A BRZ would be nice for a fun second car but brand new too expensive.

Great review as always but if I wanted something like that I would 100% get the 2017 BRZ.

Love your reviews. Simple and to the point. You just earned a new suscriber.

Dang correct me if I'm wrong but are you looking directly at a script when talking because it looks like it

I would buy the BRZ if only it was fast, something closer to the 370z would be nice.

Those cars remind me a lot of the 240z I owned during college. Affordable and very fun. Sure would be nice if they put something like the inline 6 JZ motor in it.

If it drifts, Toyota can take my life's savings.

13:38 - 13:44 = heaven 😍

they need a convertible version of this car

It's kinda hard to believe that my brother wants this as his new car despite the expenses, and his '95 Passport is still running well and is very reliable.

This is a sports car for a bachelor.....like myself. I have a Tiburon GT and this is a nice upgrade. Looking to purchase one of these next year.

why couldn't it have a name like "Celica"

The Front Bumper looks shitty. Prefer the BRZ.

I also like how they kept things simply like the climate control.

Sofyan, you seemed to gush more over the 86 than the revised BRZ. Did you prefer the 86 just because of the TRD exhaust, or was it because of the road? Do the two cars handle roughly the same way? Thanks man. Great work as always!

The dash looks second rate after watching your BRZ test.

The cool factor with this car goes away when you get smoked by a Honda Accord in a straight line

I understood it when Scion offered the one spec idea. Scion was supposed to be the cheaper of the two. But it's a Toyota now. Give us the option to spend more on it for nicer equipment.

Toyota styling, it's never been easy on the eyes.

I prefer paddle shifters.

that the shittiest interior ive seen in a long time. gauges look great, but the rest looks like its from the 90s. That clock is from the 80s.

gorgeous. these cars really grew onto me. gonna w8 a couple years so i can buy a used one on the low lol

Im so happy that there's finally been a "major" refresh...now the price on my first big purchase is going to go down!😆😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Looks like a fast car for chicks

manual all the way. Never get the automatic, automatic sucks

14:36 gotta love that automatic rear seat fold feature

it sounds like the classic 4age! I love that sound!!! I miss my ae92 :( would be nice to find and buy an ae86 one day
