will300 812 Report post Posted February 24, 2018 @GT86FTW - Have you asked a couple of different garages if you can test drive a car? If you have a full UK drivers license (assuming you are from the UK), you should be able to get a test drive at Toyota . Also have you been to a garage with an older family member? As that can usually help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As that can usually help. You have to be 25 plus and am 23. If i get a family member to drive for me i will get a feel for it , or just hire them 2 cars out for a day or two and see what they are like to driveSent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
will300 812 Report post Posted February 24, 2018 Have you tried a used car supermarket, rather than Toyota? (I've never had a problem at either Toyota or VW when I was under 25) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nails 18 Report post Posted February 25, 2018 Yes, you really need to drive both in order to make an informed decision. The gt86 is rarer and more of an enthusiasts car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Today i found out one of my family member knows someone who has a gti and a gt86. Today will go down and have a test drive and see how they are.

Peter 3 Report post Posted February 27, 2018 I have the BRZ version it is my daily ride and behaves well in traffic when I hit the dual carriage way I have a very responsive sports car, country roads it handles well and tends to leave others behind through the bends. Some say that on long journey's the car is to noisy, a fortnights luggage in the boot deadened the road noise,in France I normally drive 300 miles on none toll roads between hotels and find the car very comfortable. Once at our destination and rid of the luggage its time to take to the mountain roads and have some fun and that is what my BRZ is all about having fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
