I'm in love with the performance aspect of the alontra N But just can't stand the way it looks The GR86 on the other hand is just amazing I could stare at it all day

I'm really liking this new redesign of the Toyota GR86. All while tweaking what already worked well. Can't go wrong with this RWD recipe. Great value for enthusiasts at a lower price point.

The way this GR86 drives and feels is just amazing.

Waited almost 5 months for this car. In about 3 weeks I will have finally secured it. Very excited. This'll be my first sports car as well as my first manual car lmao

I could not be happier with my Elantra N in blue, but THAT BLUE - wow!

Toyota did a good thing keeping this mighty GR86 in the fleet!!! I'm digging it!!! Thank you Joe and Lori for bringing us this blue smurf of a GR86!!!

I’d have to drive both but for now I’d pick the Toyota because I like the look more. Thanks Joe. Great review and great work Lori! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

This was awesome Lori & Joe! I’ll go with this GR86 for the style and coupe fun. It’s beautiful and that duckbill spoiler is the best!

5:10 This is a big error. The Elantra N comes standard with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires which is quite literally the next step up from the GR 86’s Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires. In fact the Elantra N’s tires (245/35 19) are larger than the GR 86’s tires (215/40 18) in nearly every dimension. Therefore the tire advantage is actually given to the Elantra N.

That's the best color. Looks very close to Refraction Blue on my Supra. Looks fantastic.

I was able to but a halo white base model. Picking it up next week. As always love you and Lori's content 🙏

Yoo this is my exact trim, so glad I got this color, loving it so far! Still watching the video because your reviews are always great 👍

Great video review. I need to drive one of these and see what I think. I love the styling so much!

The rear end is sexy and sporty with no fake accoutrements. Toyota or Subaru all day over any Hyundai.

Thanks for the enthusiasm and the test drive . Your videos eliminate some of the stress in going to the dealership.

Not a bad upload to end the work week. Thanks for sharing, keep safe and enjoy the weekend Team Raiti. Poseidon Blue FTW!

A hard to find vehicle! But definitely on my list to own. Great video.!

Raiti.....your enthusiasm shined when you were driving this car. More so in other vehicles that are more expensive that I've seen. I placed an order last month for a Halo Premium manual. I hope to be as excited as you were driving this baby. Love your reviews. Thanks!

I love this! I'm looking for a fun car for the wife and I! Most don't realize that the 86 was always meant to be a Sleeper like the Trueno AE86. I'm loving the look and even moreso the way it shifts! Your videos are amazing and on point and your wife does amazing work with the shots!

Sick! Love your uploads!

Hi Joe it’s Mark. We asked ourselves the same question. Toyota GR86 or Hyundai Elantra N? The Elantra is a extremely desirable car. Turbo power, beautiful wheels, and useable back seats. However when I saw GR86 the thing is gorgeous, reminds me of a Porsche. You are right about rear fenders. Leather and ultra suede interior is on another level. So we bought the Toyota. Have loved it every day we have owned it. Handles like on rails. A blast to drive. Great video, you and your wife are a team!

I was looking long and hard at the GR86. I took my 2017 Elantra in for maintenance, just to get everything up to snuff - new tires, regularly scheduled maintenance, etc., - as I knew I was looking to trade in eventually. So, while I was working remotely for the day at the local Hyundai dealership, I decided to stretch my legs in the showroom. Only two cars in there - full black out versions of the Santa Fe and Santa Cruz. Then the showroom doors opened behind me, and a beautiful, white Elantra N Line rolled in - right off the truck. It took my breath away - the lines, the blackout areas. Then I looked inside - the grey coloring with the red stitching, the leather wrapped seats and wheel. Took it for a test drive, told the salesperson to work up a trade in value on my then current Elantra and what it would be for this - and that we would take at 5:00. 30 minutes later, that beauty of a car was mine. Made some mods - installed interior well lighting (set to red to match the stitching), 30% tint, getting ready to rebadge with gloss black instead of chrome. Just a wonderful vehicle. And I got $9500 on my trade in - which I paid $16,000 for back in 2016. So glad I got the N Line. At 47, my favorite vehicle I have ever owned.

🤔wondering if he freestyles all of his analogies.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 great video guys.

With supply and demand I'll probably have to wait until the 2023 model to get one of this spec, which is the only one I'd get. Glad you mentioned a poor mans Cayman because this New car and a Used 09 Cayman are equal in price. They are the only two cars that I'd want. If Toyota didn't do this redesign and kept that color, I'd go Porsche all day for the price. I'm very glad you reviewed a Neptune blue GR86. You made my mind up and I can't wait to put my order in later this year. Thanks Joe! #savethemanuals

Looks like it would be pretty fun to take around a canyon. I like the looks of this one with that Neptune blue. Keep up this awesome content!!

Oh yes!!! This is all I been waiting for this one and thanks Joe for reviewing my most favorite sportscar by Toyota.

I give Subaru and Toyota a lot of credit for developing these performance twins...they do drive so nice, although the interior does feel a little cheap. That said, I still prefer my MX-5 Miata for being just a bit more purposeful, overall. Either way, I'm just glad these kinds of cars are still being made because not many people buy them (sadly).

Couldn’t agree more, both the Elantra N and GR86 get to the point of being FUN, sporty cars for a good price, but in VERY different ways! Great video as always

Love the Teddy Ruxpin reference. Great review of the car to.

I bought 2 new cars this week: GR86 base manual and Civic Si. EXCITED about the GR, love Toyotas.

That was a clean launch!

Nice car ! Great job on the video! I have a 2023 on the way March 31 2023

I’m surprised people are comparing this with an Elantra N, rather than with a Veloster N. Great review. Hoping to have one whenever I can find one lol

Happy Friday Joe! TOYOTA LET'S GO!!!

Thank you Joe for your work. Once again, you changed my mind. I think I will get one if I can. The car looks amazing how you describe it. I have a Nissan Sentra SR 2020 and it’s just not enough fun or power for me.

Yup this is the car I'm getting. Probably this color or the red one. Absolutely gorgeous. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I just got mine it's being shipped from Wyoming to south Carolina. I got the steel color. Neptune blue was my first choice.

I love it Joe and Lori and keep up the good work 👏 I love the video lot real true 👍 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

The sound of that engine reminds me of driving my 90’s Toyota MR2, good memories!

Great video. Can't wait to own one in the uk

I could listen to that engine rev all day!

Dream car right here and in my prefect spec as well! Awesome review love your content 👍

Love the color 💗🔥🙌

perfect daily/track day car that doesn't cost a lot! awesome review as always!

That Color is just 😍

These are both cars I'm stuck between so this helps me decide which one I might want more, great content! 👍

this video is great!

Great video!!!!

Love your videos

Team Raiti, great review! Every time I convince myself I don't like a car, you change my mind...

That blue is amazing.

Great review as always! But I think the Elantra N also has PS4S tire from the factory

Got a 2023 premium last week 😁😁😁! Love it!!

Sold my 370Z this is definitely my next purchase! Awesome vid, thanks Sir!!

Supra and the Z had a baby! 😁still pretty sweet ride, the manual would be a lot of fun

Went to toyota last weekend bcoz the wifey wanted to get the Corolla XSE hatch, she saw a red GR86 and bought it on the spot. She loves it

I love mine!!! I didn’t get the premium tho, but in Texas heated seats might work a month out of the year lol

That’s a nice color on the GR86

Excellent car for the money. Wish it was a full lift up hatch so it was more usable because the backseat isn’t at all so it would always be down anyway. Great review.

Hi Joe and for myself I feel the better question is how does it compare to the hyundai Veloster N. Than to he Elantra N. That is for mor of body stlye from a compact hatch vs a compact coupe . It would be a longer video if you did a side by side compparsion but i think it would be cool. Anyways keep the great work a shout to your best camera person Lori

That colour is amazing and I'm an existing BRZ owner (2013), I have to admit your enthusiasm is really making me want to trade my BRZ in now.. I'll have to drive the new BRZ and GR86 back to back.. I will say that I'm not interested in a turbo powered car like the Elantra N

Thank you Brotha

here I am watching my video waiting, with 19 minutes uploaded thanks 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hey Raiti's Rides My Favorite Toyota Suv 2022 Toyota Highlander Platinum

I don’t need the specs, just seeing Joe having a great time driving this car makes me want to go on throttle too!!

Joe, do any of your brothers and sisters watch Raitis Rides too? Good review of the GR86

Teddy Ruxpin - LOL! Keep the GenX references coming! So true about using the right cassette...

It look stunning in that blue paint by the way.

Gotta critique the center console area. The screen buttons could be moved over to allow more vertical width, the heated seat buttons could be pushed up for a small open tray, the dead area behind the heated seats could be where the charge ports and connection are located with another small storage slot. The cup holder space that housed the connectivity could then be used as a storage space then.

Joe giggled harder with this car than with cars that have triple the horsepower! 😮

I remember 2 years ago you reviewed a 2021 Honda Accord Sport SE in Still Night Pearl(blue).I ended buying one in July of that year.Couple days ago I sold it for $26,500.I can't wait to buy this GR86,preferably in Neptune Blue.I am waiting until maybe like June or July of next year(2024) to purchase mine.I really hope Toyota still offers this exterior color option.Great review👍👍

I love that color!

Cant wait for new type r 11th gen. On your list... Thanks.

My Girl and I just ordered the 2023 same color. Can't wait.....

Thats a good question raiti

Hey Joe! Please do the updated 2023 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid!! Thank you in advance!!😊🧸

It's not fast but it's quick, looks great with outstanding handling and a lot of fun.

I really like that car. Just change the rims and I will buy it. As always an excellent video 👍.

Just to let you know about the shift knob you can get a GR badge as an added accessory on both the manual and automatic.

Thanks!

I drove one once and ordered it immediately, I love the way it drives

The GR 86 has real vents and I like that.

Beautiful car 🤩

Sold my 17 BRZ just yesterday in the hopes that Subaru releases another TS/STI model like they did in 2018 and I'll scoop one right up.

Sheeesh, I almost like this blue more than my refraction blue a91

It feels so much better than the last generation.

Great review but would this not also be competing with the veloster n.

27:24 when you look back and theres a cop behind after doing a launch

Now this is a car review 👍

Why didn’t you pick the Veloster N for the comparison?… closer in Size & Door Number (2 vs. 3)

Joe, how's this compare to the new Z? Which is more fun to drive?

My buddy just picked up one of these and took me for a ride, their pretty sweet. The handling is insane, unfortunately since he just got it he was still under the break in period so he couldn't get on it.

I love the way they both are but the Elantra is just faster and has a ridiculously good warranty

Such a beautiful color and overall looking quite better than the older version. This is the new Porsche 924.

I like this car. It's a great alternative to the Miata, which I love. That back seat is useless, but rear space means zip. Between the Miata, BRZ, or GR86, I'm begining to move toward the GR86. Or maybe it was this excellent presentation.👍

Such a fun little car especially with a manual transmission equipped. And Neptune blue fits this car perfectly. The color really pops! The Elantra n does have a better sounding exhaust. You hear more pops and bangs. This car is missing that but you can always tune them

Such a beautiful car.

It's incredible how he always has food suggestions

How long did u guys wait for your cars once orderd ?

Gr86 especially that color😍😍😍😍
