Toyota GR86 vs Toyota GR Corolla

The 2023 Toyota GR86 is a love letter to performance enthusiasts everywhere. As the majority of the industry moves towards less connection to the road, the GR86 remains firmly planted, with just the right amount of technology to keep you informed, but not so much that it detracts from the driving experience.

As many automakers (including Toyota) look toward electrification and automation to change the way that people get around, sporty coupes like the GR86 are going to become increasingly rare. In fact, the ever-risk-averse Toyota shared responsibility for this car with Subaru, which sells the same car as the BRZ.

Verdict The 2023 Toyota GR86 delivers delightful performance in a stylish and inexpensive package. For shoppers looking for a fun car (and who don't need to cart around many passengers), it's a great option in an ever-shrinking sports-car market.

The mad scientists at work in Toyota’s Gazoo Racing (GAH-ZOO) department are at it again, this time taking the typically tame Toyota Corolla and igniting it with a 1.6-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine, standard all-wheel drive, and enough bulging bodywork to make a Volkswagen Golf R blush.

The 2023 Toyota GR Corolla is an all-new look for the Corolla. The car most often considered for boring, A-to-B commutes has been utterly transformed, signaling to the world that the marketplace for sizzling hot hatchbacks is still alive and well.
