The Toyota GT86 is the Perfect Template for a Sports Car

The Toyota GT86 is the Perfect Template for a Sports Car

In the news this week, we talk about the AP holders' requests for rebates on their import taxes, and the government's postponement on the enforcement of child seat use. As for our Used Car Buying Guide, we're straying away from typical family MPVs and SUVs, and heavily depreciated premium cars, to focus on the Toyota GT86 - a sports car that hasn't yet depreciated below 6 figures. The Toyota GT86 is a legend in the sports car world, shying away from big power, dual clutch transmissions and wide wheels. With roughly 200hp, a manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive and a kerbweight of roughly 1,100kg, it's the very definition of a simple and classic sports car, that doesn't compromise on the fun factor.
