Chris Harris is back this week to entertain us with the it car of the moment, the Toyota 86. He’s taken a bit of an armchair critic’s position, in that he’s attempting to answer some of the questions asked by motoring forums the world over.
Questions like, is the Toyota too under powered, or why don’t you spend a bit more and get a 370Z, or even a used Cayman S?
It’s worth noting that, for once, we Australians are not the butt of a pricing joke. In relative terms, it’s an extra AU$5–7K to pick up a new 86 in the UK. Although, that’s offset by the fact you can buy a decent used Cayman S for under AU$25K.
To be expected, Harris is in his element here and we think he sums up the Toybaru quite well when he states: “we need to get back to a stage where we’re enjoying performance because of its nature, not because of its quantity.”

At the start his body language is saying go faster yes yes yes!
toyota rear end too lively. ok in chris’ hands, but not so good in p-plater’s….
Yup love getting that little movement out the backend 😀 (Note: I am not a P Plater).
It’s not meant to look like carbon Chris!! it’s a T pattern that is all over the car… include the dash said he liked, on the seats on the grill on the rear bumper.
