2022 Subaru BRZ vs. Toyota GR86 Comparison Test Review: Twinning

November 27, 2022 admin

There is something slightly absurd about trying to choose between the 2022 Subaru BRZ and 2022 Toyota GR86 sports cars. After all, these coupes are virtually the same, sharing engines, transmissions, structures, and more. And with affordable rear-wheel-drive sports cars not exactly spilling forth from today’s automakers, placing either of these in “last place” feels like a disservice to the noble cause of ensuring such vehicles remain available. The answer to the question of whether to buy a BRZ or a GR86 should be: yes.

Personally, MotorTrend‘s early WRX stories blew me away because the car packed more horsepower per liter than the Porsche 911 Turbo of the era. The WRX was like the Pontiac GTO of the millennial generation.

The Takeaway

Toyota’s new GR86 is a reminder that low-powered sports cars are incredibly fun to drive. Its slightly bigger 2.4-liter four-cylinder boxer engine provides excellent mid-range torque where the previous GT86’s 2.0-liter engine would bog down. Still, it has the versatility to be a daily driver during the week when it’s not barnstorming the track on the weekend.

Now part of the Gazoo Racing sub-brand, the GR86 drives as good as it looks.
The standard Michelin Primacy all-season tires provide the same lively handling characteristics as the previous generation.
