Does the 2019 Toyota 86 TRD have MORE performance for the MONEY?

The Toyota 86 has always had the complaint by many that it is underpowered. Let me introduce you to the 2019 Toyota 86 TRD. The 86 TRD has a host of modifications done by Toyota. What makes this even more special is that there are only going to be a limited number of these released. Is the 2019 Toyota 86 TRD the sports car you have been waiting for?

Why do you come across like a KZbin car salesman with every car? Have some polish and balance with your videos. Folks, every car can't be 5 Stars as Raiti would lead you to believe! I've never met a car reviewer who loved every single thing about every single car! HORRIBLE! Things you loved: Fake Vents, Tires That Only Last 10K Miles, $33000 for 208hp... theres only 1000! No tech or features....but its old school!

[@xFlared]

@@metromusic5725 Most people hate that ugly yellow orange stripe on solid black. BRZ spoiler looks way better. And basically in every way BRZ has more leather inside and better infotainment. Another issue with TRD is that nasty drone monster of an exhaust. If I somehow got this car for free I'd instantly trade it in for a limited brembo brakes BRZ.

[@speedskater89]

I bought a new 2019 86 TRD at the end of January. It only had 6 miles on it when I bought is and now I have over 14k miles on it. I love my car so much! It is the most fun I have had driving a car! Would a little more power be nice? Yes! But honestly i don't think it really needs it. It is so much fun to drive around twisty roads and i may or may not have allegedly gone 134mph so it is plenty fast. It is a real drivers car. And when i drive my other cars or other people's cars it just isn't as fun.

And for me driving to work everyday on clear day took 40 minutes, now with snow day's! And ice forget it i might as well call in sick! It would take 2 hours!

[@Mr_Chris77]

The 86 looks the part. It handles the part. It's not going to win a drag race. It's not designed for that. Yes, it could use another 50 horses (and a ton of interior design tweaks) and it would be perfect. The 86 is a fun car to drive. Think of a bigger version of the Miata. It's a handler and does so better than most vehicles on the road. BTW, it'll still run 0-60 in the 6 second range. It's not slow. It's not fast. The interior, like I said, is simply horrid. But that's another story.

[@RaitisRides]

You hit the nail on the head!

[@nurzrachit7133]

The Spartan, so to speak, interior Will weed out the posers though. That thing is amazing in any trim, and sometimes I wish I'd gone for the 86. I wound up with a Veloster N though, no slouch either as I tested both. The lightness of The 86 is freaking magical.

[@npaul4171]

I like these a lot, I loved my Subaru variant when I owned it, and it's still an amazing driving experience...but in 2019, they really need to add a bit more power to the car.
