Toyota engineers and designers
probably had a good time designing a car that the first, second and third
priority was to be a fun car to drive.
They achieved that goal in the form of the new Toyota 86 for 2017. The number 86 pays homage to the AE86 Corolla
sport coupe of the mid-1980s. All this
new Toyota has in common with its namesake is the rear wheel drive setup.
If you are searching for that
fun driving experience, then a 86 is waiting for your visit with the friendly
folks at Hixson Toyota of Leesville today!
Car critic's praise the new
Toyota 86 for its athletic handling and seats that fit you like your favorite
leather glove that allow you to carve corners with gusto. This handsome sleek styled sports coupe
corners flatly with a road grip that will reshape your kidneys. Yes indeed, the new 86 comes standard with that
three-letter word for which drivers aspire...Fun! It was designed to be a driver's car in every
way from trips to work or exploring the back roads in the country.
The 2017 Toyota 86 has a
six-speed manual with a solid shift that can be made with just a flick of a
wrist. This short throw and fast clutch
action brings on a smile automatically.
In fact, maybe this smile never leaves from opening the 86's wide door
to parking it. If you don't want to
throw your own gears, then an automatic transmission with six gears is
available. It is believed that for some
owners of the 86, this is their first time behind the wheel of a sports
coupe. That is ok, as the basics are
there from solid handling, stiff chassis, precision steering and power that
won't overwhelm you with a zillion horsepower.
Still, this 86 will deliver you to 60mph in about six seconds and that
is thanks to a very lively 2.0-liter four cylinder that punches out 205
energized horses. Auto Week recently
commented: “And Man is this car fun to drive!
If you haven't been in one of these in a while go find one and drive
it.”
So go ahead and take their
advice and check out the 86 and be prepared for an enjoyable test drive. It really has the power to surprise, but
produces confidence and stability. The
Toyota 86 also comes with less decision making as this great little car comes
in only one trim level. Factory options
include Keyless ignition, dual-zone climate control, upgraded upholstery and
more. You also have an available setup that
you need for communication and entertainment with the outside world. Some more of the standard features include an
eight speaker audio system, Bluetooth and a 7-inch touch screen. Everything just comes together with the 86
and automotive writers are taking notice.
For example, the trustworthy organization gave the Toyota 86 one of
their coveted “check marks” for a Recommended Vehicle in the Sporty/Sports cars
category under 40K.
Bring back that “fun factor”
in your drive times, then you owe it to yourself to check out this new 86. Visit http://www.hixsontoyota.com
