Overview

2025 Toyota GR86

The 2025 Toyota GR86 is a rear-wheel-drive sports coupe that prioritizes driving dynamics and affordability. While it boasts a strong public reliability score, used-car shoppers should note three NHTSA complaints, two of which concern the fuel/propulsion system, with one owner citing a potential fire risk. Another complaint relates to the blind-spot detection system. The vehicle has not been rated by NHTSA for overall safety. Its EPA fuel economy figures are not available in the provided data, but manual transmission models are estimated to achieve around 22 MPG combined, while automatics are rated slightly higher.

Critical Failure Risk

Reports indicate fuel lines can rub against other components in the engine bay, potentially leading to leaks and a fire hazard. This has been observed on vehicles with very low mileage, suggesting a manufacturing or installation defect. Owners should proactively inspect fuel lines for any signs of wear or damage.

Early detection can help you avoid a $400-$800 repair.
