If that sounds like something that might appeal to you then you won’t be disappointed when you get behind the wheel. Just bear in mind that your pence per mile costs will be quite high and BIK company car tax is higher than usual too. And if you go for the auto, while you have the effortlessness of an auto box and slightly lower company car tax, some of that raw excitement evaporates.
But stick to the manual GT86 and you’ll soon forget about those additional costs when you’re on a twisty back-road enjoying the GT86’s agile chassis. This is a Toyota that brings real excitement back to the brand. And as a sop to your business car finance, the chance to own a really satisfying sports car for a fraction of the cost of a Porsche.
