Would you prefer 2019 Toyota TRD or 2019 Subaru BRZ limited - Page 5 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hi guys!
Thanks for all the suggestions. In the last 2-3 weeks, I tested all AT/MT Toyota trims (base/GT/TRD). The drive with all trims was so smooth that I can not compare with the series.Grey BRZ I tested. As a daily driver, I think the GT 86 is completely fine. Today I tested the TRD and can definitely say it’s not a daily car. At least not for me. A 15 min test drive and already got a headache

)) especially driving right after the GT86. The kit looks nice, the response and shifting feels great but not for me. If I would be in my twenties-pfff

))

The GT I tested today was Halo with red interior and looks great IMO.

Now, I just want to test the BRZ limited AT.
If I get the same smooth drive I might prefer it due to some of the nice options (std apple car play, oem subwoofer option etc) that you can get for your car.

Thanks

it's the same but since you checked out the TRD, you should check out tS on Subaru side.

I am gonna give it up to BRZ,
I don't like the kouki 86 bumper.

I can't help picturing a proud parent showing off baby pictures of their ugly kid and saying "look how cute they are" when I hear people say how good the 86 bumpers look.
Sorry 86ers. Luckily in here we are anonymous so I can say "no, that is horrible!" without the parent gasping in horror at the truth.

TLDR: Your baby is ugly.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaa LOL !!

They are all the same to me to look at.Get the one you like the feel of.When I was buying the used market wasn't giving any good enough deals.I had to finance and nothing was cheap enough to end up a good deal. Subaru was cheaper than Toyota but Toyota had better interest rate and term. In the end they cost the same and were only 15 percent more than the best used deal i could find,So a new 86 it was.Fun toy.enjoy

P.S. glad we don't have front licence plates here also

I hear you saying that comparing these trims is not the proper way but I really want the Brembo and Sachs. Do you have any preference one over the other based on important differences (anything related to the interior, exterior? meanwhile, this will be a daily car and I don't want to do any mods on a brand new car. Thanks in advance

I live local to you, i was looking to buy new a month or two ago
there is a '19 series.gray with brembos at ira subaru in danvers
there is a '19 86 neptune blue(hyperblue) with some oem+ options, lowerd, trd exhaust, trd intake, etc, all from factory. ira toyo in danvers

i ended up buying a '13 brz 35k miles. boosted on jrsc for 15 grand
