Some cars are made for having fun, and that's all there is to it. You could say that about the 2019 Toyota 86.
This two-door, rear-wheel drive sports coupe is made on the chassis of the Subaru BRZ. Under the hood is a standard 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that makes 205 horsepower and is linked to a six-speed manual transmission. A six-speed automatic is also available, with horsepower of 200.
The 86 comes in three trim levels: the base model, GT (which our tester was) and TRD Special Edition.
The manual transmission in the 86 shifted relatively smoothly. Acceleration was solid, but not overpowering. Handling was good, as it seemed to embrace curves nicely.
Taller and larger drivers would probably do well to avoid this car because interior space is very limited. There are two seats in the back, but they really aren't to be occupied by humans.
Fuel economy is rated at 21 mpg city, 28 highway.
Styling is attractive, with flowing lines that convey motion.
Our tester came with a sticker price of $30,949.
The 86 is a pretty good joyride car that is reasonably priced.
