Subaru Brz vs Toyota Gt86

Both the Subaru BRZ and the Toyota GT86 flaunt an aerodynamic silhouette that screams 'drive me fast!' Their aesthetics lean heavily into that classic sportscar vibe, but let’s be honest, they don’t set the world on fire. The Subaru brings a slightly more angular design with a bold front, while the Toyota opts for just a smidge of sleekness. But let’s face it; you’ll be too busy enjoying the drive to worry about whether your coupe is the prom king or queen! In terms of styling, it’s a draw! Both look fab when parked and even better when screaming down a twisty road.

Let’s not beat around the bush here — the interiors of these beauties could use a little more sparkle. Plastics abound with not-quite-luxurious touches. But hey, it’s not a five-star hotel; it’s a sports car!

The front seats are like comfy thrones, but the back seats... well, they're more of a ‘put the kids there for a quick trip’ kind of situation. The boot space won't haul your entire life’s belongings, but it’s enough for a weekend getaway for two if you know how to pack smart.

Both cars deliver acceptable comfort, but don’t expect to stretch out like you're on a fancy couch — the BRZ and GT86 are more like sporty loveseats!

Both pack the same punch with a 197bhp 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that loves to rev. And rev it must! With a peak torque that won’t kick in till you’re near the redline, you’ll feel just like a race car driver — if you could just remember to shift all the time! Expect precision handling that’s well-balanced and fun! However, those skinny tires might misbehave when the weather gets moody. Both cars embrace a good ol’ joyous drift and provide a thrilling ride on tight bends, making you feel like a superhero behind the wheel!

No funky tech here! Just straightforward driving bliss with a three-stage stability control system that keeps things in line. Extra gadgets? Who needs 'em when you've got such blissful driving dynamics!

Performance-wise, the BRZ and GT86 are twin souls, offering a driving experience that's more about the fun than the raw power — and that’s something to celebrate!

The infotainment systems are practical but pretty basic. Think of them as the equivalent of a reliable flip phone — functional but not flashy! Navigation might feel like it’s borrowed from the last decade — just stick to good ol' phone directions.

While you get standard fare like keyless entry and climate control, don’t expect the latest driver aids. You can still feel comfortable driving, but the tech won't be stealing the show anytime soon!

Trunk space is decent enough for a couple of bags — but don't think of hosting a luggage competition!

Tech and features are adequate but don’t expect cutting-edge luxury. Both cars focus more on 'driving joy' than 'tech marvels'.
