GR86 GR86 - The “Auto Zone”

Good idea to order a GT86 jack now. I just ordered one.
With my GT86 I used that jack more often than I’d want and I have a spare wheel as well to go with it.
If I remember correctly the demo had a slot for the jack. I’d assume the same size jack was specified as gt86 one. They omitted the jack and spare tyre for U.K. market.
 
quite common for new cars to come without spare wheels and changing kits now, more optional extras to up the price
 
I always liked that this little car was old school and it was at least possible to buy these things. Couple of times it literally saved my entire day to be able to simply swap out damaged wheel with the spare. Most (if not all) newly designed cars nowadays don't even have space for a space saver.
 
That would be great as long as it fits the dedicated space in the boot.
I hope gt86 one fits right in.
 
Accidentally kicked it down yesterday, sounded good so decided last night i need to get this running in done, 175miles done this morning, todays discoveries;

On twisty dual carriageways the adaptive cruise will detect across lanes

On its lowest setting the adaptive cruise gap is still big enough to squeeze a couple of cars in

If you hold the + or - on the cruise control it changes in 5 mph increments, great for changes in speed limits

my mpg went from 26-35, should get 350 miles to a tank on a long run

Had a look today, boot inserts have the space and markings for the jack and the jack handle, they're just not there
 
From the manual:

As your vehicle is equipped with an
emergency tire puncture repair kit, a
jack and jack handle for replacing a tire
are not included with your vehicle.

Thanks for checking. These will be most worthy things to add. Mine should arrive tomorrow so is the car! Fingers crossed. 🤩

And are the sensors integrated to the screen or just audio only?

They overlay the screen with a shaded box and lower the stereo volume for the beep, handy if your camera is filthy
 
I got mine today. First impressions are quite positive
It is like I stepped out of Toyota gt86 and entered a Lexus gr86!
Adaptive cruise even worked while it was raining which was quite a nice surprise. Auto high beams are lovely addition as well. Everything so far looks well put together and work well. I did only 15 miles of city driving so far but quite impressed how relaxing it is to drive. Looking forward to giving it some beans after run in period
 
Hi to those who have the automatic Gr86, out of interest does the manual mode on the auto box hold the gears?
I've driven DSG 's before and although there is a manual mode, it will not let you hold the gear and will always upshift at red-line or downshift as you slow down.
Is it the same with the toyota boxes and are they dual clutch geraboxes?

Cheers.

It’s not a DSG/DCT , not sure on the redline shifts 🤷‍♂️
