Based on the performance-focused, now departed Toyota Scion FR-S, the 2017 Toyota 86 updates the performance blueprint with more contemporary front and rear styling, refined suspension tuning and manual transmission gearing, and more under-hood power. These enhancements, coupled with this coupe’s impressive agility, comfortable cabin, and abundant standard features, make it a real steal at such an affordable price – and the excitement you feel when you’re behind the wheel may be nothing short of mind-blowing.
This mean machine is propelled by a 2.0L horizontally-opposed 4C engine that pairs with rear-wheel drive and either a standard six-speed manual transmission or an available six-speed automatic gearbox with integrated paddle shifters and rev-matched downshifts. The manual transmission generates a bit more power than the automatic option, with the manual/4C engine combo rated at 205hp and 156 lb-ft of torque and the automatic/4C engine combo capable of 200hp and 151 lb-ft of torque. The 2017 Toyota 86 also accelerates faster with the manual transmission, racing from 0 – 60 in under 6 ½ seconds, but the automatic transmission offers better fuel economy. Decisions, decisions.
On the standard features side, every 2017 Toyota 86 near Owings Mills, MD comes with lots of top-shelf equipment, which is one of the biggest reasons why this sporty coupe is such a great value buy. An eight-speaker sound system with USB port, 7-inch touchscreen, and voice commands is a sweet in-cabin touch, as are Bluetooth phone/audio connectivity, a leather-wrapped tilt/telescoping steering wheel, and a rearview camera. And on the outside, the 2017 Toyota 86 model’s svelte profile is enhanced with amenities like LED taillights, automatic LED headlights, 17-inch alloy wheels, and a performance-boosting limited-slip rear differential.
