Toyota GR86 years to avoid?
The official records cannot justify a blanket avoid list. Higher complaint volume is not a reliability score. Compare the recorded complaint themes and recall evidence before you check a specific VIN.
What the stored evidence shows
What do the early GR86 complaint records show?
The stored snapshot records 21 complaints for the 2022 Toyota GR86 and 15 for 2023. Engine is the largest component label in both years. The separate recall projection records one campaign for each year. A component category does not identify the cause of an individual failure, and these raw totals do not account for vehicle numbers, mileage or time in service. They support further investigation rather than a claim that one year should be avoided.
Next step: Read the year dossiers and official campaign details, then use the recorded themes to prepare questions for an inspection.

Do not read this as an avoid list.
Older and higher-selling years usually accumulate more reports. A low count can mean a newer or rarer car—not a safer one.
Use these signals to form questions, not a buying verdict. Compare the complete year matrix, read the underlying complaint themes, check whether recall repairs were completed and arrange an independent inspection. Condition, maintenance history, mileage and exact specification can matter more than the model-year total alone.
