6 Reasons You SHOULD Buy a GR86

Рет қаралды 46,484

Күн бұрын

I've had the 2022 Toyota GR86 for several months now and can honestly say I made the right choice going with this car. I've driven several of its competitors over the last few months including the Subaru BRZ, Ford Mustang, Dodge Challenger, Chevrolet Camaro, and Subaru WRX, but none of them compare to the Toyota GR86 in my opinion. This car is the perfect balance of price, styling, performance, and driver enjoyment. Here are 6 reasons you SHOULD buy the Toyota GR86.

Difficult to have in Italy ,on 2022 they sent only 300 cars sold out in two days..all manual gear , I ordered the Gr 86 in Halo white colour at the end of last agost and the delivery for the moment will be on next 2023 September,but I have an appointment after half January to have more precise info about a real date of delivery ...

@@jubbalandcars I might be wrong on this (so take it with a grain of salt) but one of the reason as to why is it such a good car for training drivers is because Toyota took a look at EA86 and used those thing they learned along side with Keichi Tsuchiha (Drift King) experiences with the car and built it based on those. Keichi Tsuchiha is a famous Japanese race driver who own's an AE86 and loves it. He said it in an interview that driven the right way the EA*^ can train the driver.
