Product Overview

Toyota 86 (chassis code ZN6) is a compact sports car in production from 2012 to 2021. It was available with a single flat-4 petrol engine that displaced 2.0 liters. It was built alongside the Subaru BRZ as a collaboration between the two companies.
One of the best lightweight, affordable sports cars, the Toyota 86 has a well-balanced weight distribution and low center of gravity, thanks to the compact H4 engine. It has a gorgeous exterior styling, too, which hints at the car's good handling dynamics.
Toyota has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it. Utility-minded owners will have to keep in mind that the 243L (9cu-ft) cargo space may not be sufficient.

External Reviews

Reviewer score 77% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autoexpress have found:
wheel-drive handling, and characterful Boxer engine. Inside, buyers get more leather and Alcantara trim, as well as handy audio controls on the steering wheel. There's a new 4.2-inch screen embedded in the dials, adding trip functionality and a digital fuel guage. While the GT86 isn't the most powerful car on sale, the engine begs to be revved and offers plenty of performance for keen drivers.
Pros
  • Best-in-class handling
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Excellent infotainment system
Cons
  • Pricier than rivals
  • Not as fast as rivals

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:
The GT86 is a joint project between Subaru and Toyota. Its engine bay plays host to the former's legendary 2.0-litre boxer engine. It produces 197bhp and 151lb ft of torque without recourse to super- or turbocharging. The upshot is a 0-62mph dash despatched in a fairly modest 7.7 seconds.
Pros
  • Gorgeous styling
  • Impressive handling
Cons
  • Not that quick
  • Not that fun to drive
