This helps a lot, thank you Robert. There is surprisingly little content on GR vs GT86 on YT and the little there is really isn't half nearly as detailed as your vid. Better stability control system on the new one is really tempting.

That Toyota logo in the steering wheel is a little bit too much for me. I love the 86 badge on my catfish.

Other reviewers have said the 1st gen has better steering.

Driven both, I agree that the 1st Gen has better steering feel. It does have a more raw driving feel, although it is slower.

@ThePhantom41 Жыл бұрын

Just picking up on your comment about the 86 not having gas struts for the bonnet. The stay seems to work OK, is there any advantage in having gas struts (that will eventually fail) beyond convienience? I'm a fan of 'simple that works'.

@L2SFBC Жыл бұрын

I suppose not as the struts would be heavier too. But I like them as cars like that have their bonnet opened more frequently, so the convience helps a little.

I've always favoured Subaru over the Toyota. The new BRZ is available too, any chance you can have a test run with the BRZ to see if there are any differences besides the badge Robert?

@L2SFBC Жыл бұрын

Unlikely - from what I've seen there are more differences than in the previous gen, but I don't imagine they'd play out in massively significant ways driving. I'd go the BRZ on price and availability!

Hi thanks for this test, very useful can you advise on the following: I plan to buy old model GT86 for mainly trackday use Should something be changed or is stock OK ? I am reading about oil cooling issues ? Would buy the second gen. Rgs

@L2SFBC Жыл бұрын

Change the pads to track/street and the fluid to high performance. Get a second set of wheels and fit track street tyres such as A052s see my review on them. Then have fun!

Stock GT86 is fine. Never had any problem with it on track days. Rest the engine and brakes every 20 min.

@@jbalgo thx how much time you rest the car after 20min tracktime ? and how many repetitions a day ? so no extra oil cooler needed? rgs

Robert, still not clear to me if the old GT86 needs an oil cooler for track day use ? Does your GT86 have one ? Reading the Internet, most say it does need an oil cooler & other engine oil pls advise

I never needed one in my car. Just regular changes. However I kept my car stock.

People do compare the two and if you just want a cruise car you may choose either. But as I said...it' won't have the dynamics.
