My Toyota dealer invited me to test drive the GR86 base in automatic today.

It snowed the other day in Toronto and it's been -11 to -18 these past few days, so you can imagine that a lot of roads are frozen and snow removal hasn't been a super high priority. Fastest I was able to take the GR86 was 60km/h until Peel Region Police caught up to me, flashed their lights and told me to slow down. That was pretty much the end of the test drive and we went back.

Overall, I quite enjoyed the car but wished the weather had cooperated. They'll invite me back in the summer when they get a manual one in. Would I get a GR86? Yes. Right now? No.

Edit: Pictures added. The car looks so much better in person than on the Toyota website.
