Is the Toyota GR86 Worth Buying? 1-Year Owner’s Review

This is my 2022 Toyota GR86 with another installment of the long-term ownership review series. I bought my Toyota GR86 (base) just over 1-year ago, after owning a 2013 Scion FR-S, for 9 years. It's obvious I love this platform and chassis but there are also some things I don't like. I talk about reasons why I've made minor mods to my base trim and why I may be replacing the GR86. What would you do and who is the GR86 best suited for? Let me know in the comments below!
