Toyota has shuttered the Scion brand, but the FR-S was too good to go away, and so it lives on by the same name it goes by in other markets: the 2017 Toyota 86. The moniker is a nod to the AE86 code name for Toyota's revered rear-wheel-drive Corolla coupe of the 1980s. As part of its homecoming, the car gets a series of updates, including a more powerful engine, new front and rear fascias, and a retuned suspension.
Though the 86 is technically a four-seater, it's really built for two, with comfortable and supportive front seats and an excellent driving position. The backseat is marginal, and the best way to use it is to fold down the seatbacks to expand the meager 6.9-cubic-foot trunk.
For 2017, the 86's 2.0-liter engine has been tweaked to deliver 205 horsepower and 156 pound-feet of torque with a manual transmission. Automatic cars retain last year's ratings of 200 hp and 151 lb-ft. Toyota has tweaked the manual transmission's gearing to provide better acceleration, but we don't expect dramatic changes. We anticipate zero-to-60-mph times around mid-6 seconds for manual cars and high 7s for the automatic. EPA fuel economy estimates are 24 mpg combined (21 city/28 highway) with the manual transmission and 27 mpg combined (24 city/32 highway) with the auto gearbox. This being a sport coupe, we naturally gravitate toward the manual transmission, but don't dismiss the automatic out of hand. It features paddle shifters for manual gear selection and a Sport mode that does a great job of keeping the engine on boil, especially when you are hustling through curves.
The Scion FR-S has always impressed us with its light and nimble nature. This is not a car for stoplight rallies — the average V6-powered family sedan would easily beat it in a drag race — but rather one in which to enjoy the curves. And enjoy them we do. Toyota has retuned the suspension for a more compliant ride; Subaru has retuned the suspension of the BRZ as well, and the Subaru is the more tail-happy of the two cars.
Like its Scion predecessor, the 86 is sold in a single trim level, with only the automatic transmission and a handful of dealer-installed accessories on the options list. Let Edmunds help find the perfect 2017 Toyota 86 for you.

Vehicle 860 Special Edition 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl 6M)
Review If you want to go slip sliding around you have to switch stability control off. With it on and trying to hang the tail out it won't. You can barely feel subtle changes going on and the car corners like it is on rails. ( With Amtrac stuff going on this is probably an aged expression ), I traded in a 350Z and its very poor shifting and this car shifts great. Brakes are good and I have not had the opportunity to use them to the max. Rear camera works great and makes backing into a tight parking spot easy. If there is a curb you have to back in; as there is a very low front clearance; to avoid ( sooner or later ) damaging the front underneath. I am talking about shopping center parking with concrete curbing at one end and not street parking. So far mostly good or minor bad stuff. Now the audio functions that suck. The USB and the Ipod functions I could not get to work. I have an Ipod Touch 32GB 6th generation. I did get it to work with bluetooth. The Ipod function button would not turn on ( greyed out ). I loaded up a small USB memory 16GB MP3 with 20 CD's and plugged it into the USB port. The screen said it was checking the USB and then nothing happened. The USB memory worked fine in a 2018 Subaru Forester. I contacted Toyota online twice and complained to a dealer once. No joy. I searched through the Toyota manuals and found one place that said it would work and another place that said it may not work. Gas mileage is all city driving Price is out the door.
