I saw sumbody with this 2023 special edition. The car is beautiful in person cameras really cannot pick up the colorations the same way. I cant wait for my 2024 Trueno edition!🥳🥳🥳
@@BrianMakse some time in 8-12 months sadly but im first on the list for it they said. I hear their supposed to go to dealerships this winter so im not too sure. They still havent even announced the official price of it yet with its performance package (Brembo brakes & Sachs dampers and sum other tuning. But when I heard it comes with the driver assist ACC & LKAS, i was SOLD after that lol. I cant wait to drive mine around with everyone else’s. Halo White Trueno Edition Manual 2024
Spent the weekend up at Mosport with my 2023 base GR86 I purchased new here in Buffalo last year. Such a great product for Toyota and Subaru to offer to the community and I’m grateful to have voted with my dollars for well-balanced, affordable sports cars.
I own it and love it. Only complaint I have is the limited is at 7200 rpm instead of 7500 rpm where the red line is on the dials. Weird. But still great.
What are your thoughts... a new GR86 for $33k or a used RX8 for $15k? The car will be tracked 4 days per year. I'm aware the RX8 will likely need apex seal/engine replacement eventually.
Love mine overall but I agree on the exhaust. To loud on the Highway for my taste. Tough to take a call going 80mph. Hopefully you had the ASC turned off.
I have previously owned a Hakone 86 and a BRZ tS; both cars were soul less and quite disappointing TBQH. Build quality is on the cheaper side, but it's not a pricey car. The car still needs a lot more torque.
Prob not worth the time/effort. What do you think the premium would be? 5k tops. If you had the 36k you’d make more than that investing in the broader market indices for two years time.
Get it and drive it. I’ve got a 2022 black one and it has an axle back that I installed for $400. I doubt the average enthusiast could tell any seat of the pants difference with the forged wheels so I think the extra $3k is a waste…..but even at a premium this is a fantastic value for a sports car.
The 2024 GR86 limited edition Trueno is more interesting and the resale value should be much better with only 860 cars made in the world... 50 thunder GR86 Trueno will be made for Canada !
@@BrianMakse yeah, hence my confusion with that minute on the video. But it's all good - the Jap manufacturers are really spoiling regular people with a good selection of affordable cars to pick from within their budget
Hoping Subaru puts out a more compelling "special edition" for 2024. I like this orange but the exhaust is eh and the wheels don't look great (regardless of being forged). Great review as usual.

Nice! When do you get it?

You spent the weekend at Mosport and you didn’t drop by to see me?
@@BrianMakse I tried! Didn’t quite catch ya- probably a good thing after camping and not showering for so many days! Hahaha. Great weekend.
I own it and love it. Only complaint I have is the limited is at 7200 rpm instead of 7500 rpm where the red line is on the dials. Weird. But still great.
It’s already out of steam at 7200, no need for a higher redline.
Love your reviews!
Glad you like them!
Absolutely love mine- Australia

I’d buy the 86.
Love mine overall but I agree on the exhaust. To loud on the Highway for my taste. Tough to take a call going 80mph. Hopefully you had the ASC turned off.
Great review! Don't mind the price tag for this edition.
Random question....brz or 86?
Glad you enjoyed. As for the choice, well, my friend, there's more than a clue in my BRZ episode!
good small sporty car 👍, thanks.
Glad you like it!
Blipping the throttle on a down shift is not "heel and toe".
The definitive heel and toe tutorial on all of CZcams is found on this channel.

Great review! Your seating position is too close to the steering wheel.
For street driving, possibly. For track driving, the way Brian is sitting makes sense.
Yeah - tell the racing driver how to sit behind the wheel.
@hbayanati says who?
According to the plaque on the car, only 20 of these produced?!
I think that’s for the Canadian market.
Given that this car isn't designed for heavy G's. My 16' RPF1 (weights 13lb) would be a nice improvement.
100% agreed!
20 units for 3400 dollars extra? um collector item. buy it and limit the miles and sell it for premium price in 2 years?
Prob not worth the time/effort. What do you think the premium would be? 5k tops. If you had the 36k you’d make more than that investing in the broader market indices for two years time.
nah...

There are only 20 of the Anniversary edition in Canada though, so it should have better resale value because of rarity.
Im first on the list at my dealership for a 2024 Trueno here in the States
Is JBL an option?
I don’t recall, but I don’t think so.
@@BrianMakse I'm going to import one from Japan, it didn't come to UK!
I got a stock AP-1 at the moment! Should I keep it or swap for this?!
So the 10th anniversary didnt come in a manual or i didn't get what brian was trying to say?
Brian was driving a manual 10th Anniversary model throughout this episode!

This or Miata?
