2017 Toyota 86 – An Incredibly Inexpensive Sports Car

It is a real fun to drive 86 on twisted roads as its rear-wheel drive and balanced chassis support the vehicle seamlessly making your ride a breeze.
The nose and tail design provide Toyota 86 a modern aerodynamic look. Interiors are well built and look handsome, if not beautiful. Steering is precise and has well-weighed electric power assistance, which is also very communicative and gives an easy to drive feel. Brakes are well modulated and have sufficient resistance power to encounter quite a few laps on track or even negotiate a long and fast canyon run. Tires have a little lesser grip, like the ones we find in economy models, to help diver give enough freedom to toss its tail a bit.
Few changes in the rear suspension give the car a bit more planted look. Having a torque of 156, Toyota 86 isn’t exactly a torque powerhouse, but when you hit the redline, you will find some more power kicking in. With Toyota’s patented direct-and port-injection system incorporated into its engine, 86 comes as a slight variation of Subaru.
