Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. We rate the Toyota GR86's reliability at 8.7/10 — among the strongest in our sports database, reflecting the nameplate's track record and recall history.

The 8.5/10 performance score reflects a chassis and powertrain that punch above the segment norm — this is a sports you choose partly for the drive itself. Technology comes in at 7.1/10 — functional and modern, with wireless connectivity and core ADAS features, though some competitors pack more standard tech at this price point.
Priced from $29,495–$34,196, 28 MPG, seating 4, the Toyota GR86 sits in the mid-market bracket of the sports segment. The 8.3/10 value score is the headline: relative to what it costs, this sports delivers more than most of the class. At 2 years old, it's recent enough that the core feature set holds up well against current competition.
Bottom line: Think of the 2024 Toyota GR86 as the dependable pick rather than the exciting one. Shoppers who value predictability over headlines will be well served.
