2022 Toyota GR86 | Drag Race, Dyno, Review

We review the new 2022 Toyota GR86 and discuss the differences between the Subaru BRZ. Then, we drag race the car against the old GT86, Mazda ND2 Miata, and AP2 S2000, along with putting the new car on the dyno. This affordable sports car brings back the excitement of driving. As always, we cover the good and the bad of the vehicle. Would you choose this over the Mazda Miata, Honda S2000, Golf R, Civic Type R, or Subaru WRX?

There is the potential on the Toyota side to have dealers disable the fake engine noise in tech stream per customer request.

Am I the only one who waits for SavageGeese to review a car? Most other reviewers just do this: montage of exterior with horrible royalty-free music, then interior AKA “ugh there’s too much hard touch plastic wah”, they go for a drive and it feels like they read off of a script the manufacturer gives them, finally they give a very copy&paste opinion of the vehicle. SavageGeese has been killing it since day one and I’m glad to have seen this channel grow the way it did. You keep doing you Geese you’re great

[wizrish]

Imagine a world where enough people bought this and it made all the other manufacturers to design affordable naturally aspirated Rwd sports cars with manual transmission.

[MaadScience]

THAT is how you present a drag race. 20 seconds, this is who won, and we're done. I was worried that you would try to milk 15 minutes out of it like some other channels.

[tomcat]

Imagine, two functional levers on the console- a real gear shift and handbrake! Love this car- this is a gift!

[VoskCoin]

The brakes are swappable with the previous gen, so regarding your no Brembo complaint (100% agree with that) early adopters can utilize existing BBK from the 13-20 frs brz 86 including OEM PP Brembos

[Vazztudio]

I am getting one.
I understand where it stands on the affordable sport car experience and don't have any issues with the compromise.

[bRiAn]

"That's something that a loser would say, that's something that barney taught me when I was 5 years old" had me dying lol

[mustangruben]

These guys are the best car reviewer s in YouTube. No one else IMO comes close to what they do....very thorough in their approach

[bogdanrus]

We should thank the automotive Gods these kind of cars still exists. Rare and far between, but the good old lightweight, affordable FR sportscar is still here! Thank you Toyota/Subaru!

[Garage]

It looks like an absolute monster on the track compared to the previous generation. They kept the weight nearly the same for massive improvement overall. I think Subaru/Toyota have a real winner on their hands here. I hope it sells like crazy!

[martyr-]

this is the best automotive channel, never change guys, never change

[Forshbr]

As an ND2 owner, I have to say that I’m so glad the 86 ended up getting a second generation. We need more affordable sports cars on the market!

[dreamdrivedrift]

You guys make the most definitive video reviews. They are comprehensive and geared towards a future owner. Your commentary is well thought out and you actually have enough driving skill to be a trustworthy authority. Thank you from a current BRZ & S2000 owner, Patreon-supporter, and a I hope the car companies continue see the value in your reviews and continue to invest in you!

[darkchild]

I wasn’t the biggest fan of Jack when he first joined the channel but now I think he’s awesome. I piss myself laughing whenever he goes full gorilla.

[hl]

I LOVE how the drag race was just that: a drag race! No show biz, just a race. Thanks for that.

[maximeparent]

This car is everything I want a car to be; fun, cheap and simple. Also, I keep on saying it, but the quality of your reviews always blows my mind. Keep on the great work!

[Kantoh]

This is the RWD Prelude I never got in my day. I love it.

[jeffreyb.]

This is the closest thing to a early 911 in intent on the market today. To Subaru and Toyota thank you.

Important car.

Important video - and well done. Great video.

[cluckcluck]

I am 60 years old soon, and I plan on buying one of these as my final ICE car. LOVE the shape, the dynamics, the FUN and SMILES this is going to put on my face. My other car is an ND1 Miata ragtop - hahahaa. Love that car also, but it's a tight squeeze for me!
