Toyota GR86 MT taken for a spin around the Eastern Cape - initial review
CAR senior journalist Kyle Kock got to grips with Toyota’s latest offering from its Gazoo Racing stable in the Eastern Cape; the GR86. Exactly 10 years after the model was introduced here, its successor has landed with much anticipation.

This thread makes me think we need a Brezza/Urban Cruiser thread...

Oh but we do.
A Brazzers & UC combo one.

Will be shown shortly. Based on the Suzuki Vitara Brezza./ Toyota Teases Urban Cruiser A cheaper compact crossover from Toyota is on the way... Toyota is set to revive a crossover nameplate which is unfamiliar to South Africans but could become a big deal. The Japanese car giant has teased...

Nice. I hate both of those rotten little cars, but one of the finance team at work just bought one. Made me think of it.Oh but we do.

I think they’re ok for what they are, the simple engineering is a Pro (for the most part).

I guess, but a Magnite or Kiger is a much better option.

I still feel in this “budget crossover“ segment the top dog is the (née Saab) Sonet.
Specifically the build & materials used. Dash design a bit less so.

If something ever happened to my 350Z I thought I'd get one of these. But prices these days are crazy with the Rand/Dollar and car inflation. Paid R200k for my Z back in 2010. Have it for over 12 years now (17 years old). Don't think I can justify spending R700k on a car these days.

It's also the most expensive by quite a margin. For that money I'd get a fully loaded 4Pro.

Toyota GR86 (2022) Launch Review
How much does the new Toyota GR86 cost in South Africa?
A 3-year/100 000 km warranty ships standard, along with a 4-service/60 000 km service plan.
Summary
Few people would associate “growing up” with “becoming more playful”, yet Toyota seems to have achieved both with the notably evolved, yet eminently engaging, GR86.
From its more resolved styling to its subtly tweaked underpinnings, the new Hachi-Roku feels altogether more accomplished than before, both in terms of its dynamic ability and everyday usability (although the rear seats are still ornamental and the luggage compartment is compromised by the inclusion of a full-size spare wheel).
The highlight of the GR86, though, is its more generous performance potential. Its claimed 0-100 kpm sprint time (6.4 sec – for the manual version) can finally trouble the hot-hatch brigade and the inherent balance and poise that this package offers feels far more accessible. The Gazoo Racing treatment suits the 86 particularly well.

New Toyota GR86 launch review: it’s not the speed that matters
The Toyota GR86 is truly a fantastic drive which shows what can be done when pro racers deliver their input. It's quick, well-balanced, forgiving and as I said previously, an absolute blast without having to constantly adjust because the tipping point feels only moments away.
It comes with a six-service/90 000km service plan and a three-year/100 000km warranty. Service and warranty plan extensions can also be purchased from any of the 220 Toyota dealers.

GR86 6MT: R698 100
GR86 6AT: R733 700
