Expert Review
4.8 / 10 expert score
Overview
Jointly developed with Subaru, the Toyota GR86 embodies the traditional lightweight RWD sports car ethos with a naturally aspirated 228-hp 2.4L Boxer engine.
Driving Experience
Immediate throttle response, perfectly balanced chassis, crisp shift action, and standard Torsen LSD deliver immense cornering joy.
Fuel Economy & Utility
EPA-estimated 22 MPG combined is respectable for a high-revving sports engine, while fold-flat rear seats provide surprisingly usable cargo space for tires/gear.
Pros
- Ultra-responsive 228 hp naturally aspirated Boxer engine
- Lightweight (~2,800 lbs) rear-wheel-drive chassis with low center of gravity
- Standard Torsen limited-slip differential across all trims
- Slick 6-speed manual transmission shift action
- Outstanding price-to-performance ratio
Cons
- Rear 2+2 seating is extremely tight for adult passengers
- Noticeable cabin road noise at highway speeds
- Firm suspension ride quality over broken pavement
Verdict
One of the purest driver's cars on the market today, delivering razor-sharp handling, accessible analog feedback, and lightweight RWD agility under $35k.

Buying Recommendation
The Premium trim is worth the upgrade for its grippier Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires, 18-inch wheels, duckbill spoiler, and heated Ultrasuede seats.
Ownership Cost
Check engine oil levels regularly during spirited or track driving, and run high-octane premium unleaded fuel to maintain optimal Boxer performance.
Alternatives
The Premium trim is worth the upgrade for its grippier Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires, 18-inch wheels, duckbill spoiler, and heated Ultrasuede seats.
- vs Mazda MX 5 Miata: GR86 offers a fixed coupe roof, slightly more horsepower, and more practical trunk/cabin space; Miata offers a drop-top convertible experience.
- vs Subaru BRZ Mechanically nearly identical twins; GR86 features unique front suspension tuning designed for eager turn-in and controllable oversteer.
