I think they've done well listening to customers and making improvements to the ergonomics and chassis. I like how they've changed the front grille for a reason (to accommodate new rads) and not just for the sake of it. I actually quite like the 80s rally inspired cockpit, it's a bit odd looking...

I am so pleased it’s an auto. Absolutely zero interest from me, and will be reflected in the residuals of the original too.

<cough> bullshit <cough>

As soon as the tax breaks are gone, and VED on EVs is higher than running an old banger, you can expect to see the residuals drop even harder. I don’t know why people seem to ignore residuals when calculating the cost of running a car. If you’re losing £12k a year then that’s a grand a month you...

Happy Birthday GR-ZOO. Two years of using this forum, where has the time gone? I’m currently sitting in Toyota Swansea whilst the ‘old gal’ is getting her annual service. This is the only website that I leave up when I periodically close all my web pages on my phone. Because, what’s the point...

It’s also managed to balls up the service history. The mileages are wrong and my last service is down as a ‘repair’. If it weren’t for the singular fact that I might forget where I parked my car at Goodwood FoS, I would delete it immediately.

Renewed my insurance today with Hastings Direct (UK). Nothing changed other than an extra year’s NCD. It has increased from £330 to £540 for the year. 😳

GYOGU. My cars are always named after the reg, I got to pick this one from a list so I chose one that sounded nice and Japanese. I looked it up later and it is actually a Japanese word (漁具), meaning fishing tackle.

I was just about to post that we should hold a competition, first one to hit zero wins, but Harold has already taken the Trophy! Seriously, what a load of cynical nanny state bollocks. Stinks of the social score they have in Chinese cities. And Black Mirror episodes.

I hope so as I’ve been waiting two years to have the sticker made up, No. #### of 25,000. In an ironic way as 25,000 cars is hardly a limited run!

It would be totally awesome if they introduced some further options for the Normal/Sport/Track modes. I would like: Normal - Fuel economy of the hybrid shopping trolley and suspension settings of a Maybach in waft mode, lumbar massage Sport - 300 PS 'Corolla' map with 30/70 split as before but...

It’s quite sad news really. The fact that Toyota, the world’s largest car manafacturer, were not solely exploring the BEV route and therefore likely to invest heavily in alternative fuels and hydrogen combustion etc was the only hope for engines to survive this green cull.

I don't really want to be the nerd in the room but the pressure sensors go off when it's cold because the pressures are lower, they change by approximately 0.19 PSI/° C. So if you've pressured the tyres correctly to 30 PSI in the summer, at say 20°C, at -4°C the pressure will be 4.6 PSI lower...

Those are stunning. Top of my Christmas list!

It’s good fun in Wales at the moment with the new 20 mph limits. I’ve been behind people the last few days doing 40 mph in a 60, which is a bit annoying as it’s too slow for well sighted country roads, then you get to a village, the 20 signs appear (usually with the 2 sprayed over already) and...

A great post and responses. It’s very hard to quantify emotional things but if you work out what running the car will cost you a day, and then when you feel the black cloud about to swallow you up again how much you would pay to make it go away, it presents pretty good value. Knowing you can do...

Imagine that, a GR86 sized sports car, but mid-engined, targa top and with the G16E-GTS putting out 320 bhp. With Toyota pricing.

What speed were you doing? Police guidelines say: The police will consider the following grounds when assessing your eligibility for the driver awareness course: your speed narrowly exceeded the limit and falls within the guidelines set out by the National Police Chief Council (NPCC) up to...

I hope that is what the new one looks like, as I'll be very happy to keep the original!

Here’s hoping it only comes with the slush box and then I won’t be giving it a second thought! I bet the revised fascia will be horrible too. They always are. Just sell me the revised parts for power uplift and give them warranty backing. Actually make them free for original owners. 😂
