Haha I didn’t buy my GMC because I thought it was the best thing off road. But nice try. You probably think the LC200 is really awesome off-road!? They’re pretty average. It’s a nice overlanding rig (if you get mods), but it won’t do anything extreme. Your reaction reinforces the “overrated” part.

A86 was traditionally a ****box lightweight front mounted rwd 4cyl. They're keeping to tradition. A lot of 86s on the street. If you want something more that's why they have supras.

Id buy a 86 for a daily before a Fiesta or Corolla if I was single. Dont waste your time explain, some people just dont want to open their minds.

Highly overrated and overpriced (Now). Having said that, wouldn't mind being in a financial position to afford one ![]()

Admittedly I haven't driven one and apparently excellent handling but yeah, just not my thing but can understand the younger gen loving them. |

Hi all,
The 86 is no different to the old Celica, it was a great little sports car that suited some people then and the 86 is no different now. And I bet Toyota has not lost a cent with that car. All Toyotas are built tough and reliable as! Hilux top selling car for another month. I'd give one a go, I'm sure I'd have a bundle of fun in it and still get booked for doing so! You may laugh about the Toyota 86 races, but I bet they've got a grin ear to ear, living out a dream many of us have. Any Toyota dealers out there want to give me a freebie, That's fine! ![]() Cheers Phil |

The 86 Is great for what it does.
I owned a Ford Probe for 3 years and (yeah laugh at Probe name etc like most) it was a fantastic car. In fact out of all cars I've owned, by far the most reliable -- manual shift so much sweeter It's funny as I bought it over a Supra as it was far newer and better. Bad move.......Supras I was looking at are now at least 3 times the value yet the Probe basically dead. |

Flame suit on.
Ford Raptor. I'm sure great trucks though just overpriced. A Ranger is more than enough for most imo. Last edited by MercuryT; 06-06-2020 at 10:15 PM. |
