Toyota GR86 Comparison

The Toyota GR86 is a compact rear-wheel drive sports coupe aimed squarely at drivers who value feel, balance and accessible performance. Co-developed with Subaru, it keeps the classic lightweight coupe formula with a naturally aspirated boxer engine, a low centre of gravity and the choice of manual or automatic transmissions. It is not a practical family car, but its compact size and communicative chassis make it well suited to enthusiastic road driving, weekend use and track days. In Australia, the GR86 remains one of the few affordable new sports coupes, with recent updates bringing further chassis improvements, extra safety features, revised interior trim and a new Moon Slate Grey paint option while retaining unchanged pricing. Buyers wanting a simple, involving alternative to hot hatches or premium coupes will find its focus refreshingly direct.
