The Toyota GT86 Thread

The standard spec interior might be a bit date. The high spec is much better. Haven't encountered any of these shakes and rattles that you speak of, and with the various switches and dual-zone climate control it also looks cool...
Was the std spec joh the aircon knob was straight from a Yaris. Basically looked like a plastic wheel from one of those plastic trucks for kids from Checkers.

I am surprised about the lack of comments about the "Hilux radio" before the touchscreen infotainment system came out a few years after launch.
 
given that this is supposed to be an affordeable rear wheel drive tuneable car the warranty on the motor is not a huge thing, don't they sell lexus V8 motors for 5k?

its pointless crying about that drive train because it was not intended to remain that way, it was simply to reduce costs so that tuners have a canvass to go crazy, and there are some crazy 86s out there these days, even a 5s one.

Not for a long time any more... Prices have shot up since everyone and their granny made a Lexus V8 conversion. And as much as I and many others like the idea of a Lexus V8, it will screw with the dynamics of this car, I think.
 
That's rather excessive

Perfect hairdresser's car
That's a bloody moronic statement. The 86 is one of the most well received sports cars in recent years. Hell, it's rearwheel drive. If you want a hairdresser's car, look at an Audi TT.
 
It's a saying but how many actual hairdressers have you met that drive those or can afford those. In my case none, hairdressers make very little money so most take taxis or their parents pick them up

The MX-5 used to be the no 1 "hairdresser's" car as per perception until they did this in my opinion:
