5 speed manual transmission w/ overdrive
185hp 190ft/lbs torque
2.4L 4 cylinder DOHC VVt-i Motor [2AZ-FE]

Bought it new in August '09. Obsessively maintained since day 1. Mobil 1 Full synthetic oil since the first oil change. Royal purple gear oil at 50,000 miles.
Just did motor oil (at 3,000 miles same as always) a few weeks ago. Cleaned air filter and the MAF sensor. Also swapped the gear oil (2nd time in 90k mi) a few weeks ago on the same day as motor oil.
Car is beautiful and was tastefully modified. Transmission shifts smoothly every time. Clutch still grabs hard. Car has operated perfectly every time I went to start it.
Never been stranded anywhere. Starts up fast. Car sounds amazing. Turns heads everywhere, but never been hassled by the Police about it. Has a deep smooth tone with no rasp.
Was worth the extra money for a nice sounding exhaust. OEM cats and resonators still attached, car is inspection friendly.
This car is fun and fast. On the backroads, it keeps up with much faster cars. Pulls hard on the highway too due to short gearing, but the twists and turns are where this car shines.
Gets great MPGs (26-30) if you can resist not romping on it.
90,500 miles seems like a lot, but when maintained properly these motors will go forever. Most damage to cars with high miles is done by the aging process. Rubber oxidizes and becomes brittle,
metal rusts etc.
All 4 rotors and brake pads replaced at 82,000 miles.
This car is young still. Zero rust. All the rubber hoses and bushings are pristine and like new.
No accidents ever. Some cosmetic work done after taking hail damage in 2011.
New spark plugs at 60k when car went in for a tune up.
Fuel treatment performed regularly for healthy flowing injectors.
Often I am asked what kind of car it is. Have been confused for Evo, Audi, Subaru etc.
I have all the stock/oem parts if you would prefer to revert back to stock. ex- OEM Exhaust, OEM Air box, OEM Front grills, OEM springs.
This car is one of the most passenger friendly coupes ever. PLENTY of room for people in the back. Back seats recline. Plenty of trunk space as well.
LOUD stereo that came with the car. 190W Pioneer with 6" subwoofer under panel in the trunk.

Car has never had ANY mechanical problems. Only time the check engine came on was due to gas cap not being clicked 3 times. New gas cap installed days ago to ensure perfect seal.
Very very safe car all around, 5 star ratings and such.
Excellent car to learn manual trans on.

Mods:
Black "Grillcraft" front grills upper and lower - $150
Clear "Winjet" corner fog lights - $100
Lo-Beams are 8000k HIDs and Fog lights are 3000k HIDs - $150
Hi-Beams are PIAA XTREME WHITE 4000k 'Offroad use only' bulbs. Amazing amount of light. Must be courteous to other drivers however, these will practically blind you - $80
25% window tint all around. 6" strip on windshield. $140 Professionally installed by Eagle Tinting in Irvington, NY
Tein S-Tech Lowering springs $200 - Professionally installed by Tarrytown Auto
Car almost NEVER scrapes. Perfect amount of drop. Wheels look perfectly tucked. Stiffer ride than stock provides a performance increase and helps you really feel the road.
Lower car = Lower center of gravity = Higher lateral G's while cornering!
Weapon R: Secret Weapon Short Ram Intake $260
Tanabe Medallion Concept - G Exhaust $400
De-badged the rear by replacing trunk hatch handle with a de-badged version. (FYI tc trunk/hatch handles break easily. It is a known design flaw. Mine started to break so I replaced it.) - $80
TRD Billet Aluminum Oil Cap
Black Billet Aluminum TRD Badge
OEM wheels are painted Matte Black with "Plasti Dip" They look amazing.
Front tires are brand new from a few weeks ago. W Rated Westlake SV308 VERY VERY GRIPPY
Rear tires are Nankang NS-1 from last fall. 65% tread left. H Rated. Also very grippy.

Running lights, interior dome lights, reverse lights and license plate lights are all LEDs. Rear turn signals also LEDs. Corner markers in front came with clear bulb, replaced it with amber for deeper orange/amber glow.

The Bad:
Small dent on passenger door from a passenger opening it carelessly and allowing it to hit a nearby cars mirror. You have to look for it to find it. Nobody notices.
Some small areas of curb rash on wheels, but unnoticeable due to Plasti Dip paint.
Somehow the door handles got a bit scraped up. To this day I don't know how. . . All of this is very minor stuff.

Does Scion's LA concept presage a US Auris?

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

When the doors open at the LA Auto Show in a few weeks, Scion will be on hand to showcase its new iM Concept. But considering what little Toyota's youthful brand has revealed about the concept so far, it's led to rampant speculation. And the prevailing wisdom seems to point towards a production iM arriving as a Scion-badged version of the Toyota Auris.
For those unfamiliar, the Auris is to European (and other) markets essentially what the Matrix is (was?) to ours: a hatchback version of the Corolla. The model line was first introduced in 2006, looking in its first iteration like an overgrown version of the contemporary second-gen Yaris, and was replaced with the current model in 2012. It's available as a five-door hatch or wagon, with a range of gasoline, diesel and hybrid powertrains available.
If the rumors - spurred by the similarity of the iM concept's nose depicted in the teasers - prove accurate, and public reception to the idea ends up spurring Toyota to put it into action, it wouldn't be the first overseas Toyota brought over as a Scion. The Scion iQ was sold as the Toyota iQ overseas years before it arrived here.

2017 Toyota 86 Drivers' Notes | Fun, even with an automatic

Fri, Aug 25 2017

The Toyota 86 is a car that enthusiasts begged Toyota to build for decades. It's small, lightweight and rear-wheel drive. Thanks to a partnership with Subaru that resulted in the BRZ, this stylish coupe hit the streets in 2012. In the U.S., the car was originally known as the Scion FR-S but was rebadged as a Toyota after Scion was axed last year. Along with a new name, the 86 received updated styling both inside and out as well as a revised suspension and a slight bump in power, at least for the manual models. This Hot Lava-colored car doesn't feature Toyota's slick six-speed manual. Instead it rocks a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters. While some enthusiasts may look down at that, automatics make up more than half of 86 sales. Still, the bones are there, and some people don't think the automatic is all that bad. Either way, we can't encourage enough people to buy these cars, as we want Toyota and Subaru to keep building them. Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder: When I first slid behind the wheel of the 86, I was surprised to see the gear selector and paddles. It's one of those cars that you don't think of as having anything but a manual transmission. Also, in an interior where all the controls and displays are underwhelming, a set of paddle shifters stands out as one of the few tactile objects in the cabin. I ended up using the paddles quite a bit, and found that I actually enjoyed using them, so much so that I'd actually consider opting for the automatic transmission were I to buy an 86. Despite shifts that aren't as razor sharp as they could be, the car's high-revving engine means that it still feels great to use. Riding an engine like this up to its redline, filling the cabin with noise, is the sort of thing that'll give you goosebumps. Being able to keep both hands on the wheel while shifting is a good thing for engagement in this car, based on my time with it. Plus, when I got stuck in traffic, I didn't have to wear out my left leg. The other brilliant thing about the Toyota 86 is its sense of balance. I loved the way it communicated its load distribution when cornering, whether on or off the throttle or brake. The fact that the nose of this car snaps right to where you want it when you start dialing in steering angle is satisfying. And its low stance and good view out the windshield make it really easy to place on the road.

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
