CarTell take
We haven't driven the GR86 yet. On paper, pick the GR Sport manual if you can find allocation. The 6-speed manual is the only way to spec it for the driving experience. Confirm dealer pricing before signing, market premiums are common.
Why consider it
- Genuine rear-drive sports coupe at the cheapest end of the segment.
- 2.4 flat-four addressed the original 86's flat torque curve complaint, 6-speed manual offered at no extra cost, 5-year warranty extending to 7-year driveline cover via Toyota servicing, Torsen LSD standard, and the GR Sport adds Sachs dampers and Brembo brakes.
What to know
- Naturally aspirated flat-four is loud and coarse on long highway drives.
- Cabin plastics feel cheap against the $45k price tag.
- Adaptive cruise is reserved for the auto so manual buyers lose the feature.
Who it suits
Track day buyers chasing the Torsen LSD and Brembo brakes on the GR Sport, driving purists who want a naturally aspirated flat-four with a manual and rear-wheel drive, first sports car buyers chasing the cheapest RWD coupe on sale, and weekend escapees who like the 2 plus 2 layout with a useful boot.

Top rivals
Look at the alternatives if you want a convertible (Mazda MX-5), more torque from forced induction (Ford Mustang EcoBoost), a hot hatch with adaptive cruise on the manual (Hyundai i30 N), or a near-identical car at a lower price with the same drivetrain (Subaru BRZ).
