What's is really motivating, is suddenly people are standing back and seeing a car which most people ridiculed and the flack and sarcastic remarks I got when I bought the vehicle, ARE NOW SILENCED.
TRY GET ONE NOW...........

Clarkson's words - “It has a top speed from the 1980s and a 0-60 time of a not particularly dramatic animal… but this is one of the best cars I’ve driven in ages.”
Toyota has never been about the numbers game with their performance cars (except sales volume of course) and the 86 has proven to be a real world hero rather than a posing pouch or a pub argument winner. It puts a smile on your face every time you drive it even at sedate speeds... |

So I just bought the TopGear SA magazine and read Jeremy's article on the 86 being his Car of the Year. I have got to say that I'm still so happy with this car. And reading reviews from from critics like Jeremy raving about my car is awesome!!
