I did love my Focus RS, not perfect but always felt special, but I think the GR86 is purer, less power for sure, but mind bending handling with better tyres than the standard Michelins, both keepers though for you I’m sure, only 15 cars for sale on Autotrader, 1% of cars sold, that’s a sign...

Nice choice of cars, I sold my RS in 2021 and bought the GR86, both cars are in my mind the best in their category, very different cars but both very unique by modern standards. But if you had to only keep 1, which one would you keep? Difficult choice to make.

Certainly stands out, not discreet, it’s a colour on trend at the moment, I had a Focus RS Mk3 in the same shade, and I still spot one coming a mile away, luckily it has become the rarest colour for the GR86 in the U.K. as it wasn’t offered after the first 400 cars. Silver was my second choice...

18 out of 1500 cars is a testament to how good these cars are, I’m so happy to own mine, you will never get a chance to get another car of this ilk again, this entertaining for just over £30k I love my Electric blue and notice it’s never for sale for long, 2 over £32k did sell.

Only 21 cars for sale today (Sunday) that’s a dramatic drop from 39 a month or two ago, so demand is strong, WBAC are thieves, the price offered will be dropped at the point of offer for no reason, the car can be faultless, it’s a stunt they pull and it works as most can’t be bothered to walk...

Let’s be real, it’s the best colour, see it coming from 100 yards 🚀

Electric Blue that was the most ordered colour on the 1st batch release should now be the rarest as it was not available on the other 1000 extra released cars. I imagine 100 maybe?

Just had mine 1st service done at 1500 miles, got 10% off with the Toyota membership card so cost £283 ish at John Roe in Hull, asked if I wanted her washed, but I declined, good coffee and biscuits

Good luck with your next venture, what’s your next possible car? With yours sold, just 22 GR86 for sale on Autotrader, getting rare again, I would test drive an i20N if you want quick, sporty and practical, very fine car for little money, performance blue with a black roof looks cool, I can...

My Electric blue is a 23 registered, I never seem to see others that reg for sale, I may have been lucky as was March 23 when I got delivery, it took me 40 minutes to make my order on the “Sold out in 90 minutes” initial batch ordering day.

Only 1 Electric blue currently for sale, its funny how it was the most popular choice from the 1st batch release, to end up being one of the rarest colour options at the final tally, i have noticed it seems to sell for a small premium over the other colours options.

The chance to get one under £30k is soon to be gone, The lows numbers of the GR86 and the simple fact it's a brilliant drivers car that’s never to be repeated, no MK2, it’s a 2 year special, nailed on classic, I wish I had room for 2

Your missing my point, at the time I originally posted there was 137 GRY and 40 GR86 on Auto trader, around the time they announced the MK2 GRY, it’s the jump in sales of the GRY I was exposing as I said a lot will sell to buy the MK2, that seems to be happening, the reference point was the...

I love the comparison with a Porsche GT3 Touring, if you haven’t watched it on you tube, Chris Harris Drives the Toyota GR86 It’s a good watch

At the same time, we now have 200 GR Yaris for sale, The GR86 is a very unique and limited offering sports car by any standard, recently Harris from top gear certainly rates it highly, being extremely good, limited, and never to be repeated bodes very well for future value.
