Toyota 86 2018 review
Australia fell in love with the Toyota 86, a combination of nostalgia and a solid brand reputation propelling the two door, rear-wheel drive coupe into our hearts. Is it still good six years later?

If you like your MX-5 with the lot, this is the car for you, at $45,960, which gets you not only the fizzing new version of the 2.0-litre engine (RF is not available with the 1.5), making 135kW/205Nm, pushed to the rear wheels through either a fantastic six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed auto that's nowhere near as much fun.
What you also get is the full suite of safety systems, so everything on entry level plus 'Driver Attention Alert', lane-departure warning and reverse parking sensors, and 'Smart City Brake Support' in reverse. You also get 17-inch alloys, adaptive LED headlights and DRLs, black or tan leather seats, a Bose premium stereo with nine speakers and keyless entry.
And, as on all new versions, your steering wheel is now telescopically adjustable for your comfort.
