Toyota GR86 vs Toyota Supra

This model year marks the end of the line for the BMW-sourced Toyota GR Supra. While it was an entertaining sports coupe to drive, it was held back by odd styling, old tech, and a price tag that scared off some shoppers. As a result, we think you'd be better served by some of its rivals, including some of the BMW coupes this Toyota shares components with.

Verdict: With plenty of sports car competition, the GR Supra hasn’t made enough of an impression to justify its continued presence in the market.

There aren’t too many inexpensive sports cars available these days. Sure, you can always head to the Porsche dealership and spend six figures to get a car with so much power it really belongs on a race track, but who has that kind of money? For the rest of us, there is the 2025 Toyota GR86. This affordable sports car offers up plenty of thrills without breaking the bank and it’s just as comfortable on a twisty mountain road as it is running weekend errands.

Now in its second generation, the 2025 GR86 gets a few performance upgrades as well as a limited-production Hakone Edition, playing homage to the Hakone Turnpike in Japan, a road popular with driving enthusiasts. While the Hakone Edition served as our tester for this review, there is still plenty of fun to be had with the base and Premium trims.

Verdict: The 2025 Toyota GR86 is a nimble little sports car, perfect for those who want cheap thrills, good looks and a manual transmission option.
