In this thrilling Car Throttle showdown, we witness the battle of the titans: the Toyota GR86 versus the Mazda MX5. The GR86, a powerhouse with 230 horsepower, impresses with its precise handling and powerful engine.

Both cars boast rear-wheel drive, manual gearboxes, and limited-slip differentials, setting the stage for an epic comparison.

As the team puts these cars through their paces, it becomes clear that each has its strengths. The GR86 shines with its power and refined chassis, offering a thrilling driving experience. Meanwhile, the MX5, though softer in comparison, wins hearts with its affordability and playful nature on the road. The test drives reveal the GR86's prowess in power delivery and handling, while the MX5's charm lies in its simplicity and accessibility.

From drag races to handbrake turns, the team explores every aspect of these vehicles, pushing them to their limits. Despite the GR86's impressive performance, the MX5 emerges as the underdog champion, winning in value and overall fun factor. In the end, the MX5's unbeatable combination of affordability and driving pleasure secures its victory over the GR86 in this ultimate showdown of performance and practicality.
