2018 Toyota 86

What will the next generation of the Toyota 86 have to offer?

If you're a sports car fan with a not-so-sports-car budget, then chances are you've taken a peek at the Orlando Toyota 86. This sporty and performance-driven coupe boasts quite the drive time but has an affordable price tag attached to it so it's accessible to drivers from all walks of life. It's got a pretty solid following, and rumor has it that the next generation of this vehicle - slated to drop in 2020 or 2021 - will have some big changes in store. We're here to speculate what the next gen of the Toyota 86 could have to offer! What could the new Toyota 86 have in store for us? Here are some of the rumors and speculation we've seen so far: The new generation will be on lots in 2020 or 2021 The current 2.0L 4-cylinder engine will be kicked to the curb in favor of a 2.4L option We don't know what the specific engine will be, but since Toyota paired up with Subaru to design the Toyota 86, we've seen speculation that the Subaru 2.4L turbo engine could be used. This would offer 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque, a big upgrade from the current specs. The car will boast a design less like its current model (with fluid lines on the exterior) and more like the popular Toyota C-HR crossover (a diamond-inspired design with sharp lines, pronounced edges, and a more aggressive overall look). The car will sit lower to the ground to make it appear more muscular, but also to increase handling and maneuverability for drivers. Overall, the design is speculated to be completely different than the current model. The Toyota 86 is also rumored to be getting major upgrades when it comes to safety technology - mostly, features found in the advanced Toyota Safety Sense systems. Get behind the wheel of this Orlando Toyota today That's all we've seen so far - 2020 is still a while away and even if the new generation did make it to Toyota of Orlando that year, we still wouldn't see an unveiling most likely until 2019. However, if you can't wait to get your hands on this affordable sports car in the meantime, come on down and see us! We've got plenty in stock, and here are some of the highlights of the current model you don't want to miss: A starting price point of $26,255 Both manual and automatic transmission options 21/28 mpg when it comes to fuel efficiency An array of eye-catching paint colors like Raven, Ablaze, Thunder, and Halo Steering wheel mounted paddle shifters on the automatic model Front-wheel drive and rear differential Three trim-levels, the 86, 86 GT, and 86 GT Black A sleek, dark interior with Granluxe suede-like materials and contrasting stitching A 7-inch high-resolution touchscreen interface for the audio system as well as features like navigation and Bluetooth wireless streaming Seating for four with a folding rear seat to make more cargo space Ready to take your test drive and see if this new Toyota coupe is as track-worthy as it seems?

car tires for sale

Which car tires are best for your drive time?

Do you know how to shop for car tires? It can be confusing - there are tons of options out on the market and unless you're extremely familiar with your vehicle's performance needs and the tires that translate, it can be difficult to decide which is best. Toyota of Orlando is here to give you the guidance you need when it comes to buying car tires as well as give you tons of affordable options to choose from. Let's get started! Narrow down your options with Orlando Toyota tips The first thing you should do when starting your car tire shopping process is make a list of what you need in terms of performance capabilities. Here are some questions to ask yourself before you visit our Orlando Toyota service center: What type of weather will I be driving in? Do I need something to handle rain, snow, ice, or any other inclement conditions? How long do I want my tires to last? How important is ride quality (comfort and quiet inside the cabin for you and your passengers) to my overall drive time? Is speed rating going to be an important factor in my final decision? (Speed rating is basically the maximum speed the tires can handle.) How much am I willing and able to spend on new car tires? Once you've answered those questions, it should be a lot easier to narrow your search and settle on a smaller number of options. Our Orlando auto service techs can also give you a hand if you bring the list in when shopping. Types of car tires Next, let's talk about the options available to you! Here are the main types of tires and the purposes they serve. All-season tires: All-weather tires are your go-to if you're a typical driver who hits the road in a climate that doesn't offer too many extremes. They're perfect for here in Central Florida as we don't ever see snow or ice, but we get our fair share of rain (especially in the summer). All-season tires are well-suited for normal, day-to-day driving and also have the best balance when it comes to performance, road noise, comfort, and longevity. Snow/ice/winter tires: If you live in a climate that sees extreme winter weather, you should consider switching out your tires for snow tires every year. They're specifically designed to withstand temperatures that drop low (under 45 degrees on a routine basis) and also have snipes on them. Snipes are special features that help provide you more traction by gripping snow and ice better than the average tire. (Obviously, these don't really matter if you're driving here in Central Florida only.) Off-road tires: Do you take things off the pavement regularly? Consider off-road tires. They're higher resistance, which means they can handle tougher terrains without sustaining punctures or tears, and they can also more pressure as well as slippery surfaces. High-performance tires: If you like to hit the track in your sports car, then high-performance tires are the right choice for your ride. They have a high speed rating and give you superior traction and handling so you can hit high speeds and still retain control of your car. Ready to shop? Call Toyota of Orlando today. We're open seven days a week with the longest service hours in Central Florida at (407) 298-0001.

V2V technology

Toyota to introduce V2V and V2I communications in their vehicles

Ever wished your car had a way to give you a heads up when heavy traffic is in your path? What about a warning that you're about to hit a bad pothole? It would be nice if there was a way for our cars to anticipate possible hazards and problems and let us know, especially from other vehicles. Thanks to Toyota, it's a pretty big possibility in the near future. Get the scoop on V2V and V2I The automotive giant has been working with V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle) and V2I (vehicle-to-infrastructure) communications in their cars. What does this mean for us, as drivers? Here are some of the highlights our Orlando Toyota dealership has been able to get our hands on: V2V and V2I work through dedicated short-range communication systems that operate on the 5.9-gigahertz spectrum. This is the spectrum devoted to intelligent transportation systems. What does that mean? Basically, you won't have to use cellular data or any other data subscriptions to get the systems up and running in your ride. Toyota is planning on implementing this technology in 2021 in both Toyota and Lexus vehicles. The goal of these systems is to cut down on traffic (and subsequently reduce emissions), prevent accidents, and lead the way to self-driving cars down the road. Vehicles can communicate with one another AND the infrastructure to warn each other of road hazards. This means you'll know ahead of time if you're about to encounter bad weather, potholes, accidents, road construction, traffic, and more. This will also allow your adaptive cruise control system to work much more efficiently in your Orlando Toyota. Cruise control (which means less braking and accelerating) cuts down on emissions and smog, and can even help you save on fuel. These warnings will help you find another route via V2I - the infrastructure will reroute you to a more efficient and safer route to your final destination. Toyota's overall goal? To create a safer mobile society for both drivers AND pedestrians. Our Orlando Toyota cars offer top tech Like we said, we'll have to wait until 2021 or so to see this technology make its way into vehicles. However, we've got some pretty amazing tech in our Orlando Toyota cars already. Here are some of our favorite features currently found in our vehicles: Toyota Safety Sense P - this innovative safety system comes standard with features like the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keep Assist, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Automatic High Beams, and more. HD Radio updates - get information that's current or even predicted when it comes to weather, traffic, sports, stocks, and more. It's easy to stay connected behind the wheel! Steering wheel controls - Never take your hands off the wheel but still be able to control Bluetooth, audio, climate, cruise control, safety tech, and more. Bird's Eye View Camera with 360-degree views - get a look all around your vehicle (like a bird's eye view... hence the name) to see any hazards before you make a move. Ready to see this tech in person? Come on down - Toyota of Orlando is open seven days a week at 3575 Vineland Road!

car suspension care

Troubleshoot your car's suspension with these 6 tips

Are you having problems with your car's suspension? You may not even know if you are - unless you're well-versed in car maintenance, it can be tricky to tell what's wrong with your car besides the immediate symptoms. Toyota of Orlando is here to tell you a bit more about this very important car part and also teach you how to troubleshoot it. Check out these tips straight from our auto service specialists! Why is suspension so important to performance? First, let's talk about what your car's suspension actually is. Suspension is a system in your vehicle that allows you to have a smooth and comfortable ride. It also enables you to steer your wheels and maneuver your car, and plays a heavy hand when it comes to braking. Obviously, it's an integral part of your car's performance and when it's not working as it should, it can have some pretty serious effects. There are five main types of suspension - MacPherson Strut, Double Wishbone, Trailing Arm, Leading Arm, and Swing Axle. The most common is MacPherson Strut, followed closely by Double Wishbone. There are also high performance suspensions available if you own a car that's decked out for the track or a truck that has to do some heavy lifting. Let our Orlando auto service techs help you maintain this important part How do you maintain your car's suspension? Easy - just bring it in for routine car maintenance at Toyota of Orlando. Our techs will alert you when you're due for maintenance for this part, but they'll also conduct a multi-point inspection whenever you visit us so if they see any problems developing, they can quickly nip them in the bud before they get costly or complex. Now let's talk troubleshooting. Here are some common signs you may be facing a suspension problem in your ride: Your car is pulling to one side - if you take your hands off the wheel, your car drifts to one side of the road of its own volition. You notice that steering your car is more difficult than it usually is. You feel less comfortable in your car - it seems to be riding rougher than usual. You may notice bumps and holes more if there's a problem with your suspension, too. You notice the steering wheel vibrating or shuddering when your car is in motion. You hear noises when you make a turn. These noises may be knocking, clunking, or squealing, and all can indicate an issue. You feel like your steering is "looser" than normal - you have to turn the wheel further to achieve the same turn as before. Think you may need to have your car inspected? We can help. Our Toyota Service Center is open seven days a week with the longest service hours in Central Florida - and we're conveniently located just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall at 3575 Vineland Road. Call to set up an appointment today, and don't forget about about our money-saving service specials! We're waiting at (407) 298-0001.

Should you buy a used car or a new car?

It can be overwhelming when you're shopping for a new ride. What make and model will suit you best? How are you going to pay for it? What features do you need to make your drive time easy and efficient? One of the biggest questions we get is whether someone should buy a used car or a new car. There's no real right answer; it depends on your personal preferences and your ideal driving situation. Toyota of Orlando is here to explain the pros and cons of both sides to help you make a more educated decision when it comes to buying a new ride. Buying a new car Buying a new car definitely has its perks. Here are some of the highlights you'll get when you purchase new from our Orlando Toyota dealership: The car is brand-new, so it hasn't had any previous owners (or any previous repairs or accident damage). You know exactly where it's coming from. You get excellent warranties from the factory to cover any issues that the car might have - these typically span the first 2 years or 24,000 miles, bumper to bumper. It's sometimes easier to get financing on a new car, which can affect how much your monthly payment is. Most makes offer no-cost maintenance for the first 2 years/24,000 miles or so for routine auto service, saving you a pretty penny when it comes to car care. And here are some of the possible cons of buying new over used: New cars sometimes have more expensive price tags attached to them, which can affect how much you pay overall as well as your monthly payment. Buying a used car Buying a used car also has its benefits. Here are some of the things you can look forward to if you shop pre-owned: Price tags are typically lower on used vehicles, meaning you'll pay less overall and on a monthly basis. The car may have a history, but you can always request both a CarFax report and service records to ensure that it's accident-free and has been well cared for over the course of its life. If you buy from a dealer, you may have the option of a warranty for the vehicle. This is especially true if you shop cars like our Toyota Certified Used inventory, all of which come with exceptional warranties to give you peace of mind. A used vehicle may be cheaper to insure than a new vehicle. And here are some of the perceived cons of choosing a preowned option over a brand-new car: Used cars do have a history, which makes some drivers nervous when it comes to reliability. You have to pay for maintenance and the older the car is, the more likely it is that you'll have larger services or repairs coming up. Still confused as to which option is best for you? Let Toyota of Orlando help. We have a great selection of both new and used cars for sale right now and you can get behind the wheel of any and all of them. We're open seven days a week at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall.

Here are some of the highlights you'll get when you purchase new from our Orlando Toyota dealership: The car is brand-new, so it hasn't had any previous owners (or any previous repairs or accident damage). You know exactly where it's coming from. You get excellent warranties from the factory to cover any issues that the car might have - these typically span the first 2 years or 24,000 miles, bumper to bumper. It's sometimes easier to get financing on a new car, which can affect how much your monthly payment is. Most makes offer no-cost maintenance for the first 2 years/24,000 miles or so for routine auto service, saving you a pretty penny when it comes to car care. And here are some of the possible cons of buying new over used: New cars sometimes have more expensive price tags attached to them, which can affect how much you pay overall as well as your monthly payment. Buying a used car Buying a used car also has its benefits. Here are some of the things you can look forward to if you shop pre-owned: Price tags are typically lower on used vehicles, meaning you'll pay less overall and on a monthly basis. The car may have a history, but you can always request both a CarFax report and service records to ensure that it's accident-free and has been well cared for over the course of its life. If you buy from a dealer, you may have the option of a warranty for the vehicle. This is especially true if you shop cars like our Toyota Certified Used inventory, all of which come with exceptional warranties to give you peace of mind. A used vehicle may be cheaper to insure than a new vehicle. And here are some of the perceived cons of choosing a preowned option over a brand-new car: Used cars do have a history, which makes some drivers nervous when it comes to reliability. You have to pay for maintenance and the older the car is, the more likely it is that you'll have larger services or repairs coming up. Still confused as to which option is best for you? Let Toyota of Orlando help. We have a great selection of both new and used cars for sale right now and you can get behind the wheel of any and all of them.
