Had mine a few years now, bold red interior. Puts a smile on my face wherever I go. It's not fast but can beat most on the twistys. Who knew supermarket traffic islands could be so much fun

Mint video, looking to buy one within the next 6 months this vid has summed it up for me

Excellent review, like you said the power matches the chassis to make an amazing driving experience 😎

I had 2014 gt86. Loved it. I came from an ep3 and the gt86 engine is lacking. Im buying another one soon though and will get fensport to put an uel header and louder exhaust on it.

Has mine 4 yrs and still love it . Makes every hot hatch and Audi floor it at the lights for some stupid reason. Did consider a Porsche but £ for £ you are getting a much newer and more reliable car

You don't have to go 120 mph to enjoy a car..... if you do go buy a dragster.

That interior is/was a UK option I believe. Love my 86.

Best daily driver car and a jdm car at the same time

I'm considering buying a GT86 at the moment, but I'm after some advice. I currently own an ageing '08 Honda S2000. It drives well and it's a very pretty little thing (only on top!), but it's getting a bit rusty in the rear arches, crossmembers and all the suspension components. It's also £615 a year to tax, and parts are very expensive and getting scarce. It was an £11,000 car when I bought it in 2016, but a trader local to me reckons it's an £18,000 car today, which is something I don't really understand. Is that true? I've been thinking about the GT86, would it be a suitable replacement for the S2000?

It is true, old JDM cars have gone up a lot over the past few years in the UK. I bought an NA MK2 MR2 3 years ago for £1100 and now it’s probably around 3.5k with the right buyer! Wouldn’t ever sell tho lol

Hey had a gt86 for two years only just got rid they handle very well don't expect straight line speed but get it on a country lane with twists and put the pedal down your in for a treat just be respectful of the power get one you won't regret it infact you will love it even if only for a few years better then any woman LOL

i was thinking of getting one til he said it was my money I would get a cayman

@chriscaarnold 8 ай бұрын

Drive both. Its surprising how hard it is to choose. For me the gt86 was more fun on the road. I had one for a couple of years and buying another soon.

@victormartins3520 8 ай бұрын

I like drifting and power slides the Cayman handles really well £10000 or cat s/n Gt86 for £7000 cheaper tax and fuel economy ,Do not think the seller would be happy if you drift the car on a test drive?@@chriscaarnold
