    Tint your windows and you need never take you hand off the wheel to touch that toggle. Surely a safety mod right there 🤔

    Well I found this post useful.
    4 years of ownership, 2 different 86's and only today have I discovered there is a toggle behind the mirror to dim it. Learn something new everyday.

    I think it is, yes. I've had the Blue Edition on numerous occasions including for my recall. On the other hand it's hard to tell as my throttle is hyper sensitive since the remap. But I do think they have refined it somewhat over the earlier cars.

    Thanks for that Louise you have confirmed what I thought about the behaviour and steering.

    Congratulations, glad you got the tyres sorted.
    Look forward to miles of smiles, it's a fantastic car that you can really enjoy without risking your licence.

    Quite right. Hold your ground, they said they would fit Top tyres so that's what you should expect.
    Not sure where you are buying, Motorline Gatwick? If so I would suggest you check, double check and triple check all paperwork and the car inside and out before you accept the car. I know others have good comments about them but alas my experience was not the best.

    Who knows (apart from Toyota) what the future is for the 86 but as I see it they are two very different cars.
    Supra a sort of 2 seater luxury sports GT car with electric leather seats and all the creature comforts, a 4 banger just a poverty spec entry car.
    GT86 more a back to basics road legal track car (ok needs some readily obtainable mods) designed to appeal to a different sector. Pretty sure you can't get a set of wheels in the back of a Supra. 
    As Toyota have registered the trademark GR86 in Europe (applied 18/9/18 - granted 9/1/19) seems likely we will at least get the chance to buy a new Gazoo version in the future even if that is the last variant. Let's be honest, the days of the ICE sports car are numbered due to emission regulations so we have to make the most of what is available and hang on to them as long as we can.

    I loved our car the moment I saw it, and love it more after each modification.  Had it nearly six years and don't expect to sell it until I can't get in it anymore (being an OAP).  If you buy one of these just to keep it for a few years and move on to something else you will likely take a hit.  I will never get back the money for the modifications undertaken, and never expected to, but the joy of this expensive hobby comes at a cost that I am willing to pay. 
    The enjoyment I get from just going for a drive in this car is difficult to express in monetary terms.  😊

    I think Toyota have poorly marketed the car. It got rave reviews on launch and sold well for a couple of years as niche cars often do but then seemed to disappear off the radar. Only my experience, but I found trying to find a dealer who actually had a car in the showroom let alone a demonstrator hard work, more interested in Aygo, Prius and such.
    Will be a sad day if they kill it off, I really don't think their is anything quite like it at the price point.

    Be very sad if that is the case.
    The Supra seems more of a grand tourer to me with all it's creature comforts like fancy electric seats and what have you weighing it down. I think Toyota said something like they expect it to spend 98% of it's time as a road car,  a car you use as a daily. Based on the price of the i6 I assume the 4 pot will still have a fairly hefty price tag and the PH article implies it will be another automatic.
    Personally I love the fact that the GT86 is a real back to basics drivers car and I enjoy having a manual gearbox and proper handbrake. However, from Toyota's point of view I don't know how much sense a Mk 2 would make. If they only make cosmetic changes there will be complaints it still hasn't got any more power, if they up the performance it likely hits sales of the Supra.

    I also normally reverse into parking spaces but since learning of this feature have found it really useful. Where I live there is no street lighting and little light pollution so I simply drive into my drive and flick the lights stalk giving me time to walk to the front door.
