Odd seeing you without your usual enthusiasm, but I suppose that's the reality of the car you're driving. Glad you didn't waste time complaining about the power, and very glad that you mentioned the torque dip and possible solutions. I know an unequal header as well as a tune helps eliminate that dip for under a thousand bucks.

Got the hakone and I Love it so much straight up can't stop staring at it after I park, and it's been 2 years since I took it off the show room.

A bit of a late review for the 86 but I love what you did here. Great job and keep it up, your channel will grow in no time.

Btw you can fix the torque dip by adding a turbo or a supercharger. Another cheaper way to kill the dip is to add a UEL header w/ a stage 2 tune. Just sayin...not hard to fix...

spot on review. Sound system isn't great, should have used the Scion tC door panel speakers on the FRS/86. The clunk of changing the gears, the exhaust note is spot on imo. etc there's tons of 86 reviews I thought this was a good one

My future car!

"eight-six badges everywhere" yes but not the right ones because I miss the boxer eighty-six badge on the FRS side blades, and for 2017 apparently the torque dip got worse. and for that reason I would suggest the FRS

I regularly question if the noises coming from the clutch and gearbox are supposed to be there, so relieving to know it's not just my car. I honestly have never ridden in any one else's 86 other than my own so I never get to hear their race car noises for comparison.

Great video it did touch on a lot of the questions that I had on my BRZ especially all the race noises as you described clunkiness in the transmission was my biggest fear that my car may had something wrong. But I see as you described they are all the same

Great review! You are my favorite car reviewer

You have a criminally low sub count. Keep it up.

Thanks for the honest opinions and info, I’ll stick with the cheaper model I was originally gonna get of the GT86 here in the U.K.

I daily my MY 18 BRZ and the ride isn't that stiff, maybe the 86 is a lot stiffer than it's twin or this reviewer had to find something to nit pic so it wouldn't seem like he is raving about this car

Good review T!

I love my monaco red gt 86

Is Ricky from TPB your brother?? Lol. Check him out as Rob Wells with glasses. Good Eight Six review Ticky(Ricky w/a T for Thomas). You like what I did there don't you?

"I'm James!" ...

Guy complains too much. Car sounds great when pushed, yes you can hear everything like the clutch engaging. Is that a problem?

How does this channel only have 20k subs?

i love it too!

Dude I thought I was ruining my transmission & clutch because of the exact same noises you’re talking about I guess it’s just how the car works

The buttons really do ruin the steering wheel.

It's actually called the 86 because it has a 86mm bore and a 86mm stroke, the same as the original one from years ago, and the torque dip was engendered in because when your on the highway just cruzing your around 3000 - 3500 rpm and it saves you fuel, so I hope you learnt something here 😊

Late to the episode, but for $30,000 you can get the base 370Z...

ITS EIGHT-SIX NOT “EIGHTYSIX” THANK YOU.

Compare it the Si please Front vs Rear wheel drive, thanks

Nice review! Are you a watch guy too? I spy a Bond NATO ;)

I love my se 86❤️

You spent the first two minutes of the video reiterating the "86" moniker over and over again. Cmon man you're better than that!

3:17 FT-86 ???

"Lets talk about how it drives" *Proceeds to talk about the buttons on the steering wheel*

Predecessor? It doesn’t have a predecessor. The AE86 was just a special corolla that has no relation to this. And it’s not related to any other Toyota sports cars like the Supra. It’s literally gen 1 of a completely new car. What predecessor?

I have tried a few times now to hang out and give this channel a chance. But this dude complains too much.

An absolutely horrible review from an unacknowledged person who does not understand sports cars.

I don’t like the grill of the 86 I like better my Scion FR-S

But yah man bro read about the patented paint cause it’s pretty important when every car looks the same so many people have been like yoooo what kinda car is that everyone’s got a challenger a mustang or a hellcat …. Literally and the reason 86 is better then the new Supra is cause let’s be honest the Supra body is to much shit looks like it’s ready to head to the launch pad for take of to the moon. The 86 is curvy sleek aggressive … and it’s Porsche Boxster engine!!!! Not just a BMW Z4 in a different wrapper… so hear me out the Supra is a gimmicky car too how many talk or even know what an86 is it’s cause that’s the way the engine is shaped thus it’s a Porsche in a different shell see they cheated up not down lol V8 I can buy a crown Victoria and still out pace a hellcat mustang or challenged those cars are a joke muscle my ass

Great video! I find it sad that everything Toyota touches on this vehicle they make worse. The BRZ now looks way better than this scared fish faced Toyota. You can also get brembos and better dampeners in the BRZ. Really n reason to buy this uglified Toyota over the BRZ. All of Toyota good cars are built by Subaru or Mazda. My they have fallen

it's a subaru. toyota can't make anything fun or quick

At $29k you can just get a 370z, better car, faster both in straight and track, rwd and just as fun if not more fun than these cars.

Infotainment,,,,,, eehhhh!! What kind of stupid review was that? The Infotainment screen is one of the big differences between the 86 and the BRZ, as well as previous models and exactly what people are looking for in a good review. Sorry but thumbs down from me on this one.

This guy is depressing, always complaining.

the sheep in wolves clothing.. why would anyone want this.. who cares what it looks like if it can't perform

You didn’t even explain why it’s a special edition you dunce … the color change the paint raven is patented ie they shit fairings from Japan to Germany cause they created the color and Porsche owns the rights by working with Japan and Germany ie if you look at the frame of the car it has Subaru/Toyota stamps it was a duel build this car has 2 back seats that are basically Styrofoam painted black cause in order for this car to be street legal and allow 3rd party mods ie engineer this drag car to embarrass “muscle” cars that really just have a huge engine and instead of Steele like a real muscle car they have dropped its weight significantly. They top out at 7-8rpms with a huge fuxin almost complete kick to compensate the weight to the front after they beat the 86 of the line these cars don’t do 9rpms or can handle the distribution of weight to really street or drag race… to bulky to fat and sorry no Tokyo drift for you around a corner that fat long boat car will spin out while im already turnt and gone lol …. Sad I wouldn’t play for papers cause I would want to be seen in a ugly car… that changing color in the angles and light paint ummm makes that shit look sleek…. I know I’d give it my car…. “American muscle cars today are just like women who do plastic surgery to hide the wrinkles, or dudes that use creatine to look heavy and big but it’s water weight again no balls of steel cause it’s not a real muscle car it just likes to look like one that’s why the 86 is sexy it’s always underestimated but the special edition or the SRT or if you throw 2 turbos into the 86 use a odb blue driver to mod the specs when I push sports mode my turbos kick and my Greddys split and I hawk a luggy out the wind as you catch my dust and then you get a whiff of the smell broken wind cause I farted and the luggy bitch slaps your window as I’m feet in front of you middle finger up mouthing as I bump my shit and you realize you lost and I win lol
