New 86 owner saying hi!

I've been lurking on the site for a while but having taken delivery of my new 86 yesterday thought I'd say hello.

What a car!

It's early days but I can understand why it's so well liked - Toyota certainly did their homework and I'm looking forward to exploring more of the car's potential.

For now, though, it's a careful running in period.

Welcome friend!

What did you replace or is this your new toy? 1600km of no more than 4000rpm...

Thanks everyone. This is the new toy as we're keeping our little motorised roller-skate for everyday use. My softness also appreciates a good vehicle when she sees one (used to drive an Audi TT) so she didn't take much persuading

However that Head Unit has got to go!! Toyota's suggested replacement was a cool R12999 + vat through them................................

All strapped in and looking forward to the ride - let the fun begin!

Haven't posted any pics yet but will get round to doing so.

Been looking at the Parrot Asteroid Smart and also one of the Chinese models (T7019A) though I'll probably only renew the HU around Christmas which gives me a wee bit of time before I finally decide. There's plenty of information about the Parrot but not so much about the Chinese model although the you tube videos I've seen make it look well worth considering.

All thoughts and opinions gratefully received
