I remember reading that edition of Evo with a little pride. After just over two month of A110 ownership I still agree, the GR86 is a better sports car. By that I mean if I was going for a spirited drive on an empty and dry B road, for no other purpose than enjoying the drive, I would want to be...

That’s where I found myself when impulse led me to swap for an A110. I don’t regret it at all, but I guess that will depend on what you end up with and how it fits your life. The GR86 is an amazing car and I agree it needs to be driven not sat in the garage like mine was.

The best ones never are 😉

Really glad you are enjoying it, you already have the stereo settings recommended by Leo Sayer on here BTW. I was going to add the Focal speakers but never got around to it, sorry 😂. I know what you mean about the keyless entry, you get in the habit of checking by pulling the handle with your...

The 29,500 was the automated response, I went through all of the process adding pictures but didn’t activate the profile as the dealer agreed with my valuation, or close enough.

An A110 Legende in Abyss blue 😊.

I traded my GR86 in this week. Grey, 1 owner, Toyota history, with the duck tail and 4000 miles on it. Motorway were offering £29,500 and the dealer gave me £30,000. So values seem to have firmed up. Happy to have had the opportunity to own one, wish I had driven it more. Best wishes all.

Paid my car off and traded it in. Great car, wasn’t expecting to part with it and definitely going to miss it and this group. I know a lot of folks have said it but this really is the best collection of like minded petrol heads I have found online. Best wishes to you all.

Selling a set of the Focal speakers, these are the IS165TOY kit, which are a direct replacement for the original speakers. Never fitter but reviews on here are good. Looking for £80, ideally collection from Chichester West Sussex. Could post by arrangement. As an incentive to collect I will...

Selling my Nameless firewall brace as I have sold my GR86. I fitted these for two weeks and felt that they made a significant difference to the noise from the front of the car. In great condition, black. Cost me £250 with delivery and custom fees. Selling for £150, want them to get used rather...

I finally got around to fitting the Nameless braces at the weekend. Took it out for a drive today and immediately noticed a difference. The annoying pinging noise I used to get from rough roads had gone. There is also a significant reduction in noise from the front at higher speeds and no...

My friend has had an Emira for 3 years now without any problems. I guess it’s luck of the draw. I have read similar concerns around paint but not met anyone yet, that’s had a significant issue.

I’m not planning on selling mine any time soon, but has anyone else noticed how close in value a nice 997 C2S manual is at the moment? Never had a 911, but I know a fair few on here have. Please tell me how bad that idea is, so I can stop looking at them on Autotrader.

Me too, currently sat at the Brooklands Hotel with a very dirty GR86.

£200 delivered at the moment, expecting at least £40 VAT to be added.
