Age 40+
just curious who here is age 40+, getting a GR86. :-) I am 45, so not sure if too old for a GR86. I know this car is focus toward the younger audience.

45 myself. First “younger” car. Totally not having a crisis—I’m not even fifty!

53 and getting a daily driver/toy on a cash budget aligned with my retirement goals. I don't go into debt for cars. We budget for a new car every 5 years instead of taking out a 60 month loan. This is where I was going to proclaim I don't care what people think. Wwweeeelllll...
Confession: Picking Toyota over Subaru was in part due to my bias again Subaru as a hoon symbol, and my bias towards Toyota as more mature. Biases are what they are. They don't have to be correct! The rest of the decision was the front end and Neptune blue. |

42 and have one on order, with conservative options: 17" wheels, no duck tail, silver paint.
It's the sensible hold-over option between my street legal rally car of my 30s and my future fancy, high power semi-exotic of my 50s. Last edited by Lelandjt; 01-07-2022 at 04:24 AM. |

I’m 51, and this will be my second 86. I bought a Scion FR-S in 2013. I think the new GR will be a nice companion to my ‘69 Mustang I’m putting together, also with a 6 speed standard.

I was 47 when I bought my 86 GTS a couple of years ago - bought it off a guy who was 53.
I was going to keep it stock but a couple of things pi$$ed me off about it so I fixed those. one thing led to another and I don't want to add up how much I've spent on it now - wheels, suspension, full exhaust, tune, headunit etc etc. good thing is a lot of my mods will fit on the new model. will probably wait a couple of years, but I am pretty sure I'll get the new one. never too old!! |

Thought I'd chime in since the BRZ is the twin of the GR86, and I'm 59.. I bought the car strictly as a toy for recreational driving. Never too old to have fun, don't care what anyone else thinks.

47 here. Currently have a 2020 86 GT PP, but in the process of upgrading to a GR 86 premium now (also in steel silver). My youngest is off to college, so I can justify a “2 seater”. Will also be paying cash for mine as well. I don’t like debt!

Going on 67, If I was to misplace my BRZ (Summer DD) tomorrow
I would definitely be looking into this next gen as replacement. Just having too much fun exploiting the collection of roundabouts that have been popping up around here. I hope that’s not a sign that senility is setting in. |
