Our test drive editor Jason dela Cruz has a tough job. On days we have to shoot cars for the magazine, he has to wake up early and he has to brave the gridlock to make it to the venue.

But he doesn't seem to mind. Well, if you were handed the keys of the refreshed Toyota 86 and given permission to drive it on Clark International Speedway, would you complain?

"I love the 86 so much, I didn't want to change a thing," Jason wrote about the sports car's pre-facelift model.

It has undergone a makeover now, and what does our test drive editor say? Press play to find out.
