Did you already drive the existing 86? 200-5 hp. Did you think it was adequate? How much do you care about the looks? Do you want M/T or A/T..
<2022 86 is 200hp exists, cheap <~20K lots of bolt-on to speed up/customize if you dig that or get bored of 200hp.
2022 86 is ~223hp have to wait, ~32K+
Supra 2.0 is ~255hp ~$44k+
GR Yaris 268hp unknown price and availability
Supra 3.0 is ~335-85 ~$55 for the sake of simplicity..
Turo each for few days.. see if they talk to you I guess...
TRD Pro?
No. I didnā€™t get a chance to drive the 86. Thereā€™s a 2019 TRD nearby. I should check it out. Definitely a manual. The GR86 will be a big improvement from what Iā€™ve read. I donā€™t plan to do any mods, unless the stereo sucks. GR Yaris will not be available in the US. Looks are important. Thatā€™s one of the reasons I chose the MR2 when everyone was buying Miatas. Iā€™m pretty sure the 2.0 will be sufficient. I donā€™t plan on doing any track days, although I wonā€™t rule out the 3.0 until I drive it. Funny thing is, all the non-Prius cars Iā€™ve owned have been 4 cylinder. Iā€™ve driven more powerful cars, but never owned one.

True, considering regular unleaded is over $4.50/gallon here in San Diego. Good thing I have a Costco nearby

True. There is a 2021 3.0 for rent on Turo. Think Iā€™m gonna rent it for the day. I just donā€™t want to regret not buying one for the next 10 years. Havenā€™t had a fun car since my 2001 MR2 Spider. The day I drove it home, I put the top down, and drove home for 2.5 hours, with a big smile the whole way.
If the Supra doesnā€™t work out, itā€™ll most likely be the GR86
