2022 Toyota GR86 Premium

The GR86 is Toyota's rear-wheel-drive sports coupe, the one you cross-shop with the Subaru BRZ and Mazda MX-5 Miata. It's a light, balanced coupe that loves a back road, with sharp steering and a chassis that's playful at the limit. The ride is firm and the cabin is snug, which is the trade for how well it corners and how little it weighs. It's a strict two-door with a small back seat and modest trunk, so treat it as a two-seater with occasional extra space. The Premium is the top trim on the GR86, adding niceties like heated seats and a nicer stereo that the base car skips. Its 2.4L I4 makes 228 horsepower and sends it to the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic, good for 25 mpg combined. The Premium's standard 18-inch wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires give it more grip than the base car's 17s.
