Should be a really good Halo car for Toyota. The brand needs some excitement.

Wish I was able to take it out on some tracks and test it like I got to when we launched the Mr2 originally as I was working for them at the time.

Was going to post this earlier. Great little review. Harris is awesome.

 

[jam.]

I could watch his videos all day

 

[Marky_]

The only thing that annoys me about these Drive videos is that they need to sort out his in car mic.

 

[JoeyD]

Definitely want. Can't wait until they're cheap! Love Harris' reviews/videos

Agree 100%, everything else is good, but the spoken parts are usually crap quality ;(

 

[Cookie]

Awesome video

I want a GT86

Agreed, bit of a shame.

I do love Chris Harris's videos.


He sounds so typically car nerdy I could probably listen to him talk about the "feel" of the steering all day long.


Although I do like the GT86, does anyone think the interior is too low rent for the expected £25k price tag?

For about £20k it'd be about acceptable, but the interior would put me off ever buying a new one at that price - no matter how great the car drove.

I'll have one of them in the future without a doubt. Hopefully after the 200 expires.

Ticks every single box for me.

I will look at getting one later this year. I'm lucky enough to have a company car (I've not taken it yet) and it's from Toyota! I'm interested to find out how the boxer engine feels compared to my Subaru. Good times.

If you mean 0-62, then 6.5 to 7.0 ish secs

 

[TomEdwards]

They are selling a version with :

steel wheels
cloth seats
cheap suspension
no a/c etc.

specially for people like us that will change the wheels and seats as soon as it rolls off the forecourt.

 

[JoeyD]

Japan-only though.

[Hixle]

Really, really want one. Will definitely have one in future.

The BRZ concept looked amazing!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Will be interesting to see what they are like when turbo'd etc

 

[JoeyD]

He makes it look so easy!
Looks like a very fun car to drive

 

[ben_p]

Can't say I like him tbh, something about him just annoys me

 

[Gally]

I think it's his serious passion for cars which I like.

 

[Ian_182]

This got a mention on "the news" on top gear last night

They didnt really like it.

 

[Adamm.]

Looks good and does look like a fun car could be perfect for some people.

 

[Christopher]

I think it's his serious passion for cars which I like.

Yup. He's the car geek's geek.

His voice gets on my tits.

 

[MaLicE]

so i make a thread the other week about this car with a vid and some pics and it gets locked and told there is already a thread but this stays open... wow.

 

[Wick]

Like this a lot. Appeals to the real car driver. 4 seats, looks good, proper wheel drive... No frills, just smiles. Toyota haven't churned out one of those in a while
