I’m a boomer who owned a first and second generation Nissan (Datsun) Z. The GR86 gives me the same vibe. I want this car… as soon as it is available in a Hakone Green edition. Sarah… this “on location” review is every bit as well-produced as your “studio” versions. Well done! 👍
As a former Z-series owner, wouldn't you rather have the new Z 400? ; )
@@module79l28 You might think so, but I just like the styling, “sufficient” power to be fun to drive, and the price-point. The original Z’s were sort of a “poor man’s” sports car. 😉
Just get a Z. I loved my Nismo 370z. Far superior car
@@thorsong1 My second Z was a ‘79 280ZX special edition painted in the two-tone “Dallas Cowboy” blue & silver. It was one of the first 5-speeds one could get with cruise control. It also tracked better than any car I had driven up to that point. Once you centered it in the lane, one barely had to adjust the wheel to keep it on course! 😉
@@Primus54 you're a boomer. You should be able to buy a $40k car by now
I love the fact that your car reviews are based on a mechanic/detailer/enthusiast point of view. Only a mechanic would care about how easy it is to get to the O2 sensor.👩🔧👍
Yeah, and they're are the first to go out. My bosses son had a cougar with four O2 sensors. Somebody is scamming us .
I have the black raven base model. I love itttt.
Two bolster checks, 3 gears with chirping tires, manual and automatic, street and track, red white and blue cars reviewed. It has everything a car review can ask for.
Nice to see the penguin is still gainfully employed since times are still tough...
LMAO so true.
Long live the penguins!
I just hope he's getting hazard pay.
@@Gene1969 only if the penguin is outside the vehicle, during an "offroad test"... do they receive hazard pay. ;)
Yea, i was wondering where the Penguin had gone...
Embargo dropped and you're the first video I watch! Excellent!
Same, I like her videos. I am watching hers before others
Thanks so much for getting in to this! You're the first on my list of car reviewers to post a review!
This was one of the best 86 videos I have seen now or historically. A great real feel experience. Well done Sarah.
Wow... what an analysis 👏
Right other people just show the interior and exterior I wanted to see it driven
Your excitement and enthusiasm is contagious. This was a great review.
It's evening here in Iran , best time to upload sarah ! Made me happy
You've made my day, Sarah! Just watching you chase those apex is a vicarious moment for me that puts a smile in my face. Thank you so much for sharing! I love your channel!
Great video- fortunate that they flew you out as you make the reviews fun.
Most technical review I've seen on this car. Gotta love all that room around the engine. Well done Sarah.
Love the review. You’re so lucky to drive both generations on the track. Your smile in that helmet was priceless.
So glad you grabbed a blue one. Pretty sure you talked me onto buying one. Thank you for the quality reviews
@@jmt8706official You're not allowed!!! That's what I'm going to do.....lol!
@@jmt8706official I'll just have to get a BRZ then!
Did you end up doing it? My trueno blue GR86 manual premium comes in about a week or so. Trying to find out if anyone else has gotten one yet.
WIth the track time, this might be my favorite Sarah -n- Tuned video!
Sarah, Love your vids I have been subscribed for a while. I thoroughly enjoy your unbiased opinion from an enthusiast point of view. Keep doing what you do to keep people in the know with the information we need to make the best decisions about car buying or modding. I am currently shopping for an '86 for the love of pure driving enjoyment.
Great review. Yours & Throttle house are the only ones I watched of this one. You guys have similar playful personalities. Always entertaining. Keep up the great work. Welcome to NY. I think that track is about 2 hours from me.
You're gonna pull big views on this video!
Fantastic review of what looks like a fantastic car. If I weren't doing so much home improvement, I'd consider getting one.
first video review of yours I have watched. I really enjoy your style, silliness, random things you notice the car people care about.
There are videos I save to watch later, I can’t resist watching yours right away, it’s such a break from all the negative stuff out there, no politics, no negativity, just fun cool stuff, a few funny innuendos, cars and silliness ☺️👍🏼
The cameo by Ryan Douhit was so cool. He's one of my favorite reviewers! I found your channel because of your MR2 work. I own a 94 turbo. That's the real drivers car ;)
So glad I found this channel ❤❤❤
I was having fun watching you have fun! As always great review.
Your track narration was awesome. It helped me to understand how it's done.
For the record, the driving pro says to Sarah, "Awesome ... that was the quickest lead-and-follow I've done today (Sarah: Oh really!?) oh, yeah, and you didn't miss an apex, you're awesome!"
11:24 That part was the best!
Bravo!
I really like the refreshed looks, I have driven several of the previous model and they are great fun to drive! Thanks Sarah for the interesting review. 👍😀🇨🇦
FINALLY, Sarah at the track! One of my wishes came true.
Love the ambient music throughout the video, really sets the vibe well
The color changing aspect is amazing! :p Anyway, great review. I owned the previous gen one for several years and this one is tempting
It's great to have breakfast with your review. Great way to start my day! 👍💖
Intelligent, infinitely watchable, and the hilarious joy you get out of beating that 86 around makes me smile like crazy. Keep being you.
I love it when you are in the happy zone. This is awesome
As usual… Sarah brings the most in-depth review 👏
An ace on the track too! There is no end to this girl's talents?
Well, it ends when it comes to reproduction...XD
@@NoWacko😂😂
Great review Sarah! Your sense of humor is a great addition to car reviews. The comic bubbles while you were killing it on track had me laughing the entire time!
ALL THE BEST SARAH
Sarah is an insane track driver 😳 proper skills 👍
I call bullshit
@@armenaghakhan5148 Based on what?
@@ShredST did you watch the video?
Carlos is just being a simp
Those looked like great laps, mad skillz as we used to say (we being old nerds). Must have been fun to hang out with Ryan/Mr. Goose/Pipes etc who were also at the event!
Monticello Motorsports park..cool!
Best car review ever ! Taking us on the track with you, super creative and fun. And the blooper at the end.....hilarious !
this is the best review i've seen of it thank you!
Awesome review Sarah!! You're the first review I watched on the GR86. FORGET Raiti and Redline!!
I like your American version of Best of Motoring when you were on the track. IDK if that what you were aiming for.
Awesome review 👍🏾
I’m in shock that you caught that! Yes! I used to watch all the hot version / BMI DVDs back in the day.
I love starting my day with one of this kid's videos… Got a smile on my face already! Loved the track sequence ...
Woman, not kid.
Such an awesome review. Sweet and to the point. I've been eyeballing the new one for a few months now and cant wait to see and drive one in person.
Loved this review of the new GR86, cant wait to see your comparison video between this and the new BRZ.
Love that you took one of the penguin's with you. Great review, wingermadoodles👌
You're awesome, Sarah!!!!😄👍👍👍
Love your reviews 🥰🤣💯
Its great to see you smiling and enjoying your self.
Loved this review, your eyes when you were on the track! Awesome
A Sarah at midday in the UK - how very refreshing!
Fun review - thanks for sharing the experience! 🙂🙃🙂🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧
Its nice to see other CZcamsr reviewers making Cameos.
Yeah, everyone was really nice!
Great review! Hitting apexes like a champ
Well done, as we have come to expect. Love what you do Sarah
Reminds me of the 240/280z cars so much in spirit. I don't think it needs a turbo. I'd do all the NA mods to I could as well before I went forced induction. I'm just not sure a turbo would fit the personality of this car well. Loving your reviews so much! Keep up the amazing work
Toyota GRrrrrrr 86! Nice review….definitely need to do a track review of your MR Dos when the mapping is finished being finely tuned!
👍👍👍
Thanks for making car reviews FUN!
Loved the review and the track footage. Great to see you having fun 🙂
That copper cylinder under the oil filter is an oil cooler with coolant circulating through it. It’s only purpose is to prevent the oil overheating when doing laps on track, but it has the added benefit of warming the oil from a cold start. It wasn’t on the old generation, but was a needed mod for going on the track.
That was awesome Sarah and excellent review and you had so much fun. How rude of Ryan Douthit to butt in at the end. Your review was much better and fun than his. 😆👍
Great review Sarah!! Love the ending with a little cameo with Ryan photobombing your video!!!
What a great review. Thanks for adding the first gen into the review.
This is what the people want and Toyota is leading the Renaissance.
I love my Toyota 86! I've owned two, and a Mazda Miata. I just love these types of cars! Part of me wishes I would have waited and bought the new edition, but I will most likely purchase one in a few years. I love your reviews btw!
Why do you own two Toyota 86? With different transmissions?
@@aeronYTco I am a mom of two boys. I got tired of them whining about riding in the back seat. I traded my 2013 FRS in on a 2012 Infiniti G37 Sport. I always hated trading in my FRS! Now that my boys are 24 and 17. I figured now would be the time to get another one. I traded the Infiniti for a 2020 Toyota 86. No regrets! Love my car! We still have two other vehicles if we all go somewhere together.
Fantastic! Automakers are flying you to places to review cars. And among the highest number of views for this debut. Congrats! Here's to your continued success at moving up in the auto-journalist world.
Nice review of my next car! Thank you!
"That's probably a place in Rome... Or Italy" 😂 you Americans never disappoint when it comes to geography!
Our country is so fucking big theres no reason to leave lmao
Half of us dont even know our geography
@@Josh_Judge excuse for being dumb
Great review, thanks Sarah! This new model ticks a lot of boxes and if brand and price are not as important as value for money and fit for purpose, most people will realise that this car is all the sports car the average driver will ever need on the road. Love it❣️
Nothing like watching Sarah at work!👍
Get it 86! Get it! Glad I subscribed to yr channel! Awesome reviews!
Nice! Excellent as usual!
For the curious, short track stock car builders in the know tip the radiator 5 to 7 degrees so that the air glances off the fins as it passes through, increasing the cooling efficiency significantly. Straight up mounted radiators pass the air through with less contact with the aluminum fins between the tubes and will run hotter. Water to air and air to air both have the same effect when you tip them
Cool review, great job on the track.
Happy Tuesday Sarah!!!
Pleasant surprise, car looks like a blast!!
Stay excellent!!!😎
The fact that you reviewed the base model instead of the one with all the bells and whistles says a lot of you, thank you.
Edit: also the fact that you took the penguin with you all the way to New York, also says you're a classy mom, Thank you for that too.🤠
i mean, they are the same car... just different seats and tech package, and 17's instead of 18's.
@@muskrat021 The point is to see what you get for your money when you buy the base model. But you're also correct, not much difference.
When is a performance package coming?
@@80s_Boombox_Collector That's unlikely to happen. Toyota engineers have stated that if they add more performance, they would have heavily modify the suspension and that would add extra cost. They kind of said that if you need more power, you should go for the Supra and in Subaru's case for an STI 🤷🏻♂️
@@HappyCarReviews Well I meant like the brembo brakes and sachs shocks on the previous performance package.
“Fruit and Robot compatibility” made me laugh more than I should.
WOW you are a winner, thank you for such a great show 100% I love your driving and your expressions crack me up :)
Great review Sarah ! Looking forward to seeing the next one !
Hahaha Sarah, your face on the track says it all! Go girl!
Yeah you have to get on a track because you got talent! We want more track Sarah!👍👍👍
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
I love that you didn’t complain out the base level Primacy tires and just had fun with it. Your outlook on this car was really helpful and steers me toward my his as a replacement for my Mk7.5 GTI.
I’m not that bougie, lol. I think complaints like that are from rich folk reviewing cars that are chump change for them.
I actually was excited to see your honest review!
And we'll, I think it was a review for enthusiasts as always from an enthusiast.
Yeah complain about plastic, not what your buying it for is right. I enjoyed it ! Thank you!
"Fruit and robot capability" I'm not sure if you stole that one, but I love it! 😂
Nope, I made it up unfortunately. 😆
@@SarahnTuned - I likee
What? 5am upload?? So much for going to bed! 😂
7 AM on the North Coast.
have seen most of the GR86 reviews but you were the first to mention the slant of the radiator and how it corresponds to the shape of the grill, I was impressed !
This may be the best review video you have done.
Great job👍
Naturally aspirated! That's amazing to hear; an engine that can actually _last_ a long time if taken care of.
I might be misinterpreting your statement but are you saying that turbo engines don't last a long time compared to an NA engine?
I have turbo. 200k still running strong
@@DwithBoost That's correct - in general, turbo-charging an engine reduces the overall lifespan of the engine. If a person hopes to get 200,000+ miles out of an engine, it's very rare for turbo's to get that far. I'm not suggesting it isn't possible - anything is possible, just statistically uncommon.
@@Dakiraun most of the time I see shorter life spans due to people tuning, raising the boost from the factory setting and such. I know of several 02-03 WRX's that have around 200K miles plus. I don't see why a turbo alone would reduce an engines life span. The manufacturer typically reduces compression, reinforces the pistons, rings, etc. to take the additional horsepower and cylinder pressure.
@@Dakiraun Turbodiesel engine can run 500000 km and more, petrol is critical
I have 2017 86 automatic , might have to upgrade to this new model in a year or two. Toyota needs to add fun color like orange, yellow and green to fit the fun personality of this car.
Fantastic track segment. You continue to impress
One of your best reviews, time notwithstanding. Track time was a plus. Nice work.
I didn't like the first gen's clutch, so it's nice to hear that that's been improved along with all the other improvements. I've heard the BRZ's suspension setup is better, but the looks of the 86 have me saying Yoda.
Over the last year I fell in love with the BRZ/86, almost to the point of obsession. The new engine makes them even more appealing than before.
Great review. The new 86 is wicked cool. Can’t wait to see them on the road. 👍
Akio Toyoda would love you!. what a great thoughtful review!. You hit the nail right on!
7am upload? Damn I have to go to work!
Going to see a lot of reviews for these today.... I really want one. I just wrecked my frs a week ago. Need to get something quicker.
Great video. I ordered a brz! This video got me stoked!
just in case you don't know, there are stars in your eyes Sarah! awesome video
Love this new GR86/BRZ. The changes have brought it more close to perfect than ever before. As the father of 3, with 2 close to leaving on their own, I am looking forward to another Sporty/Sports Coupe, especially with a manual.
By the end, the blue 86 is starting to look more like a Porsche on the front.
@@One21P
Not a bad thing at all.
Thank you for the review. You completely underestimate how well your "track talk" helped review the 86. The fact that you had so much fun ripping it on the track instead of talking about it, shows what a fun car it is! Major selling point.
My question is what badge do you want on the front do you want on the one you eventually buy?
Sarah is banging on every metric. Good review.
Great review! Love the car worth every penny. Thanks!
