Is this the one with the Subaru twin?
Yup! The GR86 and its Subaru cousin, the BRZ, are still BFFs. This year, though, Toyota took the wheel on development, so expect a bit more of a Toyota vibe (whatever that means).
Is it crazy fast?
Not gonna blow your socks off, but it's plenty quick for carving up canyons and generally feeling like a boss. Think nimble go-kart with a bit more muscle.
Wait, it's not hybrid?
Nope, the 2025 GR86 sticks with a good old-fashioned naturally aspirated engine. Purists rejoice! That said, rumors are swirling about a hybrid version for 2026, so stay tuned.
Can I fit groceries in this thing?
Let's be honest, probably not a week's worth. But hey, that's what your other car is for, right? This is all about the weekend warrior spirit.
What's new for 2025?
Think handling on point. Toyota tweaked the suspension and steering for a sharper feel on the road. They also messed with the engine a bit for a more responsive throttle, especially for those fancy downshift maneuvers. Basically, it should feel even more glued to the pavement.
Should I get the manual or automatic?
Manual for that classic sports car experience (and bragging rights). Automatic for a smoother ride in traffic (and maybe showing off your flawless heel-toe downshifts... with practice). It's all about personal preference, my dude.
