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.
