@@sentinelprimegroup sorry for the late reply! I finnaly bought the car a little over a month ago due to previous deals falling through. I finnaly own my own 2017 manual BRZ and have a aftermarket catback exhaust and coilovers. the car is everything I thought it would be and more. it's honestly changed my life and I look forward to driving it every single day. if you're in the market for one just buy it. you won't regret it

I've been incredibly interested in these for years but never been in a position to be able to afford one:( I started an apprenticeship at a Mercedes dealership last year and I have had the opportunity to drive and work on many posh Mercedes cars. Seeing videos like this makes me want to test drive and experience this 86 one day to fuel my passion for cars. I was fortunate enough to see an 80s Trueno 86 at the academy a few months back. Damn I love these things!!! Great video man Update : 2 years later and coming to the end of my apprenticeship I have finally bought a GT86! Dream car acquired

It is especially when it is almost new. Like 50 000 km or untill 80 000 km. I know a friend who bought one with 200 000 km and the brakes were awful. He almost got in an accident. He told me about it and i bought one but only with 35 000 km. So yeah. Hope i helped someone who wants a second hand gt86.

Sounds like more of a problem with the maintenance on his car than the car itself. No reason a car with that kind of mileage couldn't have brakes as good as when it was new.

I’ve been a fan of this car from day one and have driven about 6 now. I’m eager to buy one this year or next year at the latest. Only slight issue I have is my current car. I own a 2017 BMW 420d M Sport which is a great car but I recognise that I’d be downgrading in terms of interior quality and technology (The iDrive system to a more basic Toyota Touch 2 system) My own fault really but the GT86 is such a good looking car, like the induction sound going through the revs and it’s a blast to drive. I’m aiming for a 2017 facelift model for about €30,000 (Ireland)

@JustTheDriven Жыл бұрын

Great cars mate. I'd consider another one myself but it would need to be forced induction after what I've been driving over the last few years

@ShanesAutos Жыл бұрын

@@JustTheDriven fair point. When your used to driving cars with over 200 bhp you’d naturally want more out of the GT86. I have driven much faster cars but even so I love the GT86 in its standard form, it’s great fun. I’d be using it as a daily, my place of work is only a 15 minute commute.

Great video, very informative. I just sold my m140i (too many getting stolen in the west midlands) and the 86 / brz is definatley my next car. Could you tell me the difference those wider wheels have had on the car? They definatley look better but does it make it less drifty?

@JustTheDriven 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you sir. The wider wheels made a huge difference if I'm honest, the stock tyres aren't too great (mostly Prius spec). The PS4 I put on really helped the car grip, it was playful when you wanted it to be however it was much more predictable

@@JustTheDriven I like it a lot, apart from the tyres. Those will be swapped for more grippy ones. I wanted a GT86 for a long time, but couldn't find a suitable one, regarding age, mileage and all round condition of the car. I first tested a black '15 GT86 with low mileage and full options. After my extensive testdrive, a burnt oil smell came from the exhaust. So that was a big NO. 😮 Last summer I came across two '17 cars, one black in basic trim and the grey one with all goodies fitted. I took both for a long ride, resulting in the grey one being my daily driver. The car makes me smile, every time I drive it. 🙂
