2019 Toyota 86

Overview

When Toyota launched the 86 back in 2012, it marked the return of the affordable lightweight RWD coupe, pretty much the same way Mazda's MX-5 brought back the fun-to-drive roadster. The Toyota 86 in a way was the spiritual successor to both the Toyota AE86 of the 80s and the first gen Celica of the 70s.

For 2017 Toyota has given the 86 a nip and tuck giving the coupe a more aggressive look, particularly in the front with its wider grille opening. Inside, it now features steering wheel mounted controls, a 4.2-inch TFT-type screen in the gauge cluster and a touch screen.

Under its hood is the familiar high-reving 2.0-liter 4-cylinder boxer mill which produces 197 hp and 205 Nm of torque. Like before, power is channeled to the rear wheels either through a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.

White Pearl paint is available for an extra P15,000.
