    Is it a manual?

    There are a lot of assumptions in this . M2 comp has same engine and power as m4 and I bought a manual as like the gt86 the car suits it. Its a daily driver and will not see a track. However flappy paddle boxes are needed in big bhp stuff due to speed through gears on track.

    The limit is easy to find and very controllable,probably why it reviewed so well. Trying one on track prompted me to buy one tbh I'm really hoping the next gen handles as well but with more power Oh and if you're trying to be clever suggesting mine never got on track you would be correct, it was being built for one purpose which did not happen due to coronovirus, rather than stick it away for another year i traded it for a new daily,I have however driven several on track.its easy to drive a slow car at the limit Considering my next track option for later in the year

    Its amazing how most people have driven everything fast and on the limit to get a real appreciation on how they handle 🤣

    2021 GT86 and BRZ

    Totally different class of car. Never driven the 2.0 but the one I tested was brutally fast but not very engaging, I put it down to the auto box. I cant imagine you 2.0 is as good as the gt86 as its a heavy old beast

    No slating from me, had countless performance cars and rate thr gt86 very highly amongst them. Gt86 wouldn't suit flappy paddles at all but some cars really do,mostly high power stuff. I will certainly consider the new gt86 as I loved the old one. I had my name down for the new supra but the gearbox put me off, its an 8 speed slush box not a dct, worlds apart

    Utter crap to claim serious drivers dont use dual clutch. Latest batch of hyper cars dont have manual options ie mclaren senna. I have no issues with Manual boxes at all but to claim serious drivers want them is rubbish. Some cars suit manual boxes that's for sure but others don't. This is the wrong forum to debate the issue to be fair, low powered cars dont suit flappy paddles but higher powered stuff really does due to the speed of acceleration through rev range and gears

    I'd disagree with flappy paddles ruining the fun. Its only the uk that's obsessed with a manual box,most that waffle on about them have never owned a fast car with a decent d/c box,its a comment you always read on a gt86 or mx5 forum. Its not just about 0 to 60 times but the whole experience, a good dual clutch box enhances the drive. Will the supra ever get a manual option? Unlikely I'd say

    Why do Toyota use DOT 3 brake fluid?

    Not really correct. For optimum brakes you need top quality kit. Dot three is probably all that's needed at the low performance/weight level of the gt86.

    Why do Toyota use DOT 3 brake fluid?

    Possibly because the oem brakes are not really that good. Car is lightweight and not very powerful so unlikely to overheat anything

    Economy on modern cars is usually helped by auto/dc transmission and turbo charging. I'd be amazed if the new 86 has neither but tbh modern flappy paddle turbo cars are what most people want in sports cars.
