Toyota insurance £520 this year, £100 less than last year. Fully comprehensive with home rescue, protection of NCD
10+ U.K. licence and ncd. Mine is auto, no mods. Not too bad
£585 vs £410 last year (3 days free) with Toyota insurance. They beat the comparison sites. Breakdown was additional £60. 10 years ncd no points or incidents. Rural area south east. Who can explain the increase surely not tracking inflation!?
Few years back I was looking at lexus offerings. Lexus Lc 500 auto torsen limited diff was hailed as the last real deal gt car compared to hybrid version of the same car. So it is all relative I think. The auto gr86 can still be insane machine to drive. You can scare/entertain all your 3...
I use usbc wired connection. My wired Apple car play stopped working today. After some investigation I had to try another iPhone using another cable. As soon as the head unit asked permission to use Apple car play with this new phone, my old phone also started connecting OK. So the head unit...
Just to report back on this. Left the GR86 at home on holiday mode where one cancels the keyless entry (explained in the short user manual). After a month the car started immediately. The battery meter was showing 14 volts which is as good as it gets.
So far I’m happy with battery drainage...
Reading to Guildford using A roads some local traffic, loads of roundabouts and short motorway : 42mpg.
Typical mixed route where I live. Total 60 miles return trip. As close to real life test it can get. I was always at max speed limit on all roads.
Slept in my gt86 once. My feet were cramped and remember it feeling quite cold in the early morning hours. I was in a sleeping bag and used thermarest mattress
In south east traffic (London and counties) auto is a no brainer daily driver. Eats up the miles without drama but if you want the drama (in a good way ) it is still a great sports car in track+sports mode. Or in full manual mode. Eye sight system really does work, perfect for stop and go or...
Forgot to say 6th gear is longer so 50mpg and above on the motorway is possible for me.
In fact “factory testing” conditions 60mph returns 55mpg for me now in summer
Eyesight can follow traffic consistently so I think due to consistent drafting effect I get crazy good mpg
With the manual cars...
Also manuals has less room for rear passenger. To be able to use the clutch I had to push my seat back a lot hence no space for someone behind me
With the auto I have space for my little ones
Yes you can disable it. It doesn’t bother me. It applies the breaks in emergencies
I have that on as well
You get extra cup holder which is super useful
Auto high beam headlights are also extra and useful
You get (from my understanding) better integration of rear sensors factory fitted, both...
I had the auto gt86 for almost 10 years and now luckily to have the auto gr86.
I have some issues with my left foot (nerve impingement) but to be honest with you even if I was perfectly healthy, I’d still choose the auto. It is lovely!
Many more safety features and the biggest addition is the...
