You are making comparisons to a far more expensive vehicle with a much larger engine that was meant to be "heard" and stand out by design. Pointing out a random example like at 5:21, it sounds nice and throaty, and you can hear that they are only revving around mid RPM range, if not lower.

Those that want more sound will have plenty of options from the aftermarket world.
I agree that they shouldn't sound like an F-type R, that would be ridiculous, but these remind me more of a Corolla with a mild sport appearance package, at least as heard here. The GR86 IS a sports car after all. Seeking a middle ground. But more data is clearly called for, 1 clip recorded at some distance does not a strong case make for any argument....
