    GR86 "That's a fresh whip bruv"; or the Toyota GR86 collated feedback thread

    Did a thumbs up to a passing GT86 owner who smiled as i went past, think he was happy/surprised he'd seen one in the metal.

    GR86 GR86 Confessions

    My confession. I’m not keen on the gear up notification. I’m my head I see 4th gear (up) and think I’m in 3rd and need to go to 4, not that I’m in 4th and need to go to 5th. ST shows up and then what the next gear is, so when I drive the GR it confuses me 😂

    GR86 Service Plan Cost Vs Individual Services?

    Not much you can do. They know that most want the warranty so will pay it. But yes the fees are ridiculous for the time taken. My ST was £400 over 3 years and I thought that was a lot!

    GR86 Anyone managed to get any insurance quotes for the GR86?

    37 and similar no claims, also on a fiesta ST, its never been below the £450 mark for me. Currently paying around £500 each for both cars now, with zero ncd on the gr but because i have it on the ST, i'm classed as a safe driver so get a bit of a discount.. not sure if it'll ever be considerably...

    GR86 Unknown driving routes in your local area.

To get used the route for when the time comes… I’m based in Northwest so I know the Lake District is a a great...

    GR86 Photo Request - Smurf Blue / Black Spoiler

    I was thinking the same. I ordered the Smurf blue to go with the car. If I decide to sell in a few years I suspect they would want matching spoiler. My plan is to bolt it on, then if I decide to change colour in the future , easily done. Either wrap or hydro dip or just buy a custom one if...

    🤬 What makes you go GRRRRRR?

    fair. And those drivers who do 35-40 on a long 50 mph average speed camera road and you cant overtake incase you get clocked.

    🤬 What makes you go GRRRRRR?

    Easy. People who overtake parked cars on their side and expect you to stop on your side. And then think because they moved over first it’s fine. Nope. If you can see me , I can see you and if you can’t make it past the cars in time and get back over to your side, I ain’t stopping till we meet...

    GR86 Do we get breakdown cover with our new cars?

    I think it’s free. I called Toyota online after my wheels were stuck after cleaning my car. They transferred me to breakdown cover and AA turned up 1.5hrs later. Number is on the inside of widescreen (LHS). There was no charge so suspect it’s included.
