2026 Toyota GR86 review

Toyota GR86: built for the drive, not the errand. Illustrative review

8.3/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Toyota GR86 is a strong contender in its class. Engine note that rewards the throttle; sharp steering and a willing chassis. Tight rear seat or none at all and stiff ride on broken roads, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $31,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

Solid, with a few quirks

Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the steering feel still impresses passengers.

★★★★☆Lillian P. · Austin, TX · 12 months owned
Good, not perfect

Bought it for the weekend drives and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.
