I have cancelled my order, so if there's someone on the wait list wanting an electric blue manual, then you could be in luck! :) Thought briefly of flipping, but it's just not me. No implied criticism whatsoever of anyone who does though. It's been a frustrating experience if I am honest and...

Nice matching combo there! I'm shortly to lose the Cinquecento, so it will be the NSX and the GR86 come late-October (hopefully). I'm hoping that pairing will see me through the next decade with a smile on my face, for as long as I can afford to fill them up! And the S-Max family bus of course...

Well I can't rule out the move to electric at some point, but the chances of one of my 'fun' cars being electric is not likely with the current tech and weight. I guess I'm old fashioned in that I enjoy driving, feeling the road, having to put in some effort to get it right. It's a tactile...

Thanks! You are absolutely right, there are 2x as many NSX's in use in the UK than Cinq Sportings! And it looks like the GR86 won't exactly be a common sight either...

I agree. But, saying that, I was the easiest customer imaginable for them, and the only time I have bothered them at all was trying to get my original £1,000 deposit back. I think Toyota and their Dealers need to work many of these 'kinks' out as they inevitably move to a more online sales...

I've been dealing with Milton Keynes Toyota, who I have to say have been absolutely rubbish. It's been bad enough that I was thinking of changing the dealer, but it sounds like other local possibilities (Bedford/Northampton) might be a case of frying pan to fire...

One of these two will go, although at the moment I have no idea which! Got lots of interesting advice from PH'ers a few weeks ago when I posted my dilemma there. Probably I will run all 3 for a few weeks when the GR86 arrives and then make a decision. Wish I had a larger garage...

I wonder if Subaru is able to allocate more resource to the BRZ/GR86 production line at Ota now that they will likely be suspending production at Ota of a few models within Japan due to an engine issue? This may be to our slight advantage in terms of UK delivery dates...

I've ordered the GR86 and am not a GT86 owner. I test drove a couple of GT86's back in 2015 and enjoyed them, but I was not in love with the engine, and the interior was basic but acceptable. The handling was very enjoyable though, and with the US reviews of the GR86 seemingly having addressed...

Car ordered 10:05 on 20/04, received call around lunchtime on 27/04. Estimated delivery stated as August +/-

Certainly looks tricky! I've read some people have managed it; some magical combination of several 'just right' socket extensions, very slim fingers and a healthy dose of on-the-job cursing!!

I haven't come to the GR86 from GT86 ownership, so please excuse a 'noob' question... I like to do some maintenance bits myself, and had found some videos online showing the tips'n'tricks needed for a GT86 spark plug change, usually involving lifting the engine slightly for improved access!! I'm...

I think like many other posters, I am relishing something quite light, RWD and small enough to be chuckable. I've always loved small cars and, for me, the trend towards ever increasing size, weight and power has correspondingly reduced the 'fun' factor. I much prefer a car that handles well, and...

Unlike you, I wouldn't be so presumptuous that my own opinion would translate for the rest of the population.

I didn't have a statement or opinion, I was just wondering how you could be so supremely confident that one car could offer all drivers more than the other?

That's a sweeping statement!! Based on your experience driving both cars? Or did the testers in the video say that? And do all drivers really look for the same qualities in a car? Do you really need to stir things so much?

Just had my call too! (I was a 10:05 order) Really helpful TGB guy, very positive call. August +/- date, electric blue MT ordered. Fed back my positive comments about online order experience, but some negatives about deposit transaction and communication with my local dealership. Looking forward...

I am #28 on the list, also got my order in online today just after 10am. Fingers crossed! :D

Hi all, I have a GR86 on order (hopefully, come Monday that is), but in the meantime I am fortunate to have a couple of fun cars besides the family bus. My history is mostly with small, light(ish) cars, and I guess you could say I'm a bit of a pasta and sushi lover having been through mostly...

Thanks, they are both fun in their way, but I think the GR86 will be more fun, more of the time.
