Well the link is to a freaking forum not a review.
I see a scanned attachment on one post but you need to be a member to see it.
I dont want to sign up for another forum.

It would be nice if you could download that attachment and upload it here.

You can attach stuff when you "Go Advanced" and use the Manage Attachments at the bottom of your new post.

I googled "EVO Magazine GT86" and got this: http://www.evo.co.uk/toyota/gt-86 which is to a review done on March 12 2015.

So after reading I really agree with this:

evo Tip

Save your money on going for a range topping GT86 as there is little difference. Instead split the difference and use it to buy performance parts.

The GT86 can be transformed with the likes of a supercharger or a better set of tyres.
After picking up my bare knuckles model for $25k and seeing the RS packages go for $33k I really feel like my money was better spent on my own personal aftermarket choices.

It's crazy how far EVO magazine has back-tracked from their nasty review of the BRZ in 2012. Almost sounds like they enjoy the car now.

"Ultimately though, if cheap driving thrills are what you’re after, the GT86 is in a class of its own."



Someone over there knows what they are talking about, I guess.

Ok so this was more a review of the Costworth Supercharger upgrade.

Seems like they like it but say that you really need to put more $$$ into other chassis upgrades for it to feel right.

thats the only time the gt86/limited wing looks good.
