    Epic Chris Harris GT-86 / FR-S Review! -- "This is the car I've been waiting for" HD


    A good review. Lots of good footage.

    One of the most anticipated new cars of 2012, the Toyota rear wheel drive entry level sports car with too many names: GT-86, FT-86, and FRS. Also known as the Subaru BRZ. Chris Harris travels to Spain to get the most ouf a short session in the car.
    Chris owns a GT3 RS so if this car excites him, it must mean SOMETHING!

    So Toyota plans to offer a mechanical differential for drifters and racers? I thought a 1 way was mechanical. Aren't torsens still mechanical?

    I love the interior! I don't like the red but I love the shape and design.

    Affordable RWD car. Well under 30 grand? I hope.

    I love the drifts in this video. You have to admit that this car looks sexy going around a corner.

    After watching the video you start to understand why they kept it 200hp n/a. Underpowered -- sliding through corners. Just like the ae86.

    This is so far the best review for the Toyota 86/Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ thats come out. Chris has got Toyota figured out in terms of Tadas goals for this car.

    This sure beats all the boring american FR-S reviews that just get right to the point and sometimes not even giving you all the information you need. Great FR-S review to watch, thanks for posting this!

    Nothing beats vehicle tests and reviews from Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear, can't wait for that to be released.

    Most reviews just go over the spec. A good review outlines driving experience. I am looking forward to the top gear review.

    I agree! I cannot wait to see if top gear features the car in one of their episodes, I really would love to see them review the car..

    Top Gear has an article on the FR-S? I didn't know that.
