I picked it on Friday.

Manual with no extras

I slight over indulgence with loud pedal on the first day of ownership but I have calmed down now

It is to great drive and very pleased with it

Thoughts so far it is dream to drive and pearl white is great colour.

They are 24,995 but the paint is extra £650

I was lucky my local dealer was doing a January sale couple of weeks ago so I got a good deal on my trade in(IQ) and list price

I had 2 years of austerity with IQ

When I saw GT86 I wanted one

Toyota dealer has been excellent and I can not fault there customer service and aftercare.

Good time to do a deal, particularly on new and if your not fussy about waiting for the new plate.

Nice colour, saw a white one next to a black and orange and it was definitely the pick of the three.

How are the cloth seats? And what is in place of the sat nav?

Do you have any plans for it?

I'm still on the fence with these...

No plans due to it being on finance for 3 years.

I know sounds strange but the supercharger may ruin the fine set up already

I happy with seats I am going to monitor them for wear

Yet to see one of these in the flesh, I am not usually a fan of white but that looks nice.

I have one so you've certainly chosen the best car smile If you've come from a fwd car, you will wonder at how low this car is and never want to go back.

Once it all loosens up, especially the gearbox, it becomes the only fun road car your ever want. I've had more oversteer experiences in this car than any car I've had before but its not just this it's many things. It seems like, through cutting costs, they've inadvertently engineered that hollowed out feeling in the cabin that you get with a lot of very old fun cars.

That looks cracking. A mate had one for a month as a courtesy car and he was very complimentary. Looking forward to hearing how you get on.
