Two years, 70k miles - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Love the car like it was new. Exceeds my expectations. DD, 30-33 mpg (auto), just replaced original tires, will do breaks probably at next service. Fuel pump fail was only issue. Love the balance of power and handling. Did not buy it to drag race. Mid range torque sag is what it is. I work around it. I have my collection of twisties for driving entertainment. Cheers.

Damn...And I thoug I rive a lot. I'm only at 56,xxx in two years. Well done.

I'm at 12,000 in a year in a half...lol

JonAvalon · 07-17-2015, 08:59 AM

Damn, I just hit 40K just a little after the 2 year mark. Cheers man!

I love mine though even though I keep lurking for other cars with boost. But every time I add something simple to the car, it feels like a new one. I put on new tires and a header recently and it's just been a blast to drive. I take the back road with windy areas everyday and it never gets old. The only thing is the engine has developed a slow oil leak, so she might have to be worked on soon

Amateurs.
At 35K and just about at a year. Still about 20% below my norm since my furthest plant has been down most of the year.

nice to see some cars with good amount of miles that didn't self-destruct!

Datcrazyeric · 07-17-2015, 09:03 PM

And here I am thinking I have too many miles at 28,XXX after two years

sirsol66 · 07-17-2015, 09:12 PM

Out of curiosity, anyone running a tune with higher mileage? Seeing quite a few cars spinning bearings and other engine damage with mild bolt ones and a tune.

what mph do you mostly cruise in? Doing 60mph on my manual for 200 or so milkes i get 36-38 and sometimes higher. 68-70mph is my main speed so I range less @ around 28-32.
