The Orlando Toyota GR86 stands out in a crowd without issue, but the 2026 model is about to take that to a whole new level. Introducing the Yuzu Edition – this special edition sports car will be hitting the streets in the all-new Yuzu Yellow paint color, which is an homage to the OG Scion FR-S Release Series 1.0. Only 860 of these limited edition models will be up for grabs, so when one rolls into Toyota of Orlando, don’t hesitate to grab the keys!

What is Yuzu Yellow, and Why Is It a Throwback?

Yuzu Yellow is a major nod to the retired Scion FR-S – it released the same paint color way back in the day. You’ll love the bold, citrusy hue on your new 2026 Toyota GR86 and the fact that it’s a limited edition color.

Performance in the 2026 Toyota GR86: Track-Ready

The 2026 Toyota GR86 Yuzu Edition is built on the GR86 Premium model, so you’ve already got a track-ready ride to start out with. However, this special edition Orlando Toyota adds on unique touches like:

• 18-inch matte black wheels and matching black exterior accents for serious street cred
• Brembo brakes for superior stopping power
• SACHS Dampers for a sporty edge and a more precise ride quality

The goal with this new sports car was to balance style and function, and we think Toyota nailed it.

Under the hood, you’ll find the engine we’ve come to know and love with the 2026 Toyota GR86 – a naturally aspirated FA-24 boxer engine that puts out 228 horsepower and 184lb-ft torque. You’ll also get a Torsen limited-slip differential, as well as the option of a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. Here are some of the highlights when it comes to performance in this Orlando Toyota:

• The manual transmission models get from 0-60mph in just 6.1 seconds, while the automatic transmission models are close behind at 6.6 seconds.
• Gazoo Racing did a fresh tune on the 2026 Toyota GR86, which means you’ll have a better throttle response as well as smoother torque delivery. This is especially noticeable in corners, so get ready for the ride of a lifetime.
• This new tune ensures that you get crisp handling and sharp response, but you still have a fun-to-drive ride when hitting those Orlando roads.

Did we mention that the 2026 Toyota GR86 is also designed to be as light as possible so you can put the pedal to the metal? The manual models of this Orlando sports car are just 2,811 lbs, while the automatic weighs in at 2,851 lbs. This is thanks to aluminum panels, lighter seats, and new adhesives that reduce the curb weight and ensure an agile performance every time you get behind the wheel.

Why the Interior of the Yuzu Edition Turns Heads

Hop into the driver’s seat to see the difference when it comes to the 2026 Toyota GR86 Yuzu Edition. You’ll find sleek black Ultrasuede seats with yellow highlights, as well as yellow stitching and accents throughout the cabin to add sporty pops of color. The cabin is designed with the same lux minimalist style as other models in the GR86 lineup, and you’ll love the 8-inch touchscreen interface and upgraded 8-speaker audio system.

What Tech + Safety Can You Expect From This Sports Car?

What about tech and safety? We know you’ll get unique, fresh style alongside a responsive and exciting performance, but what about the bells and whistles inside the cabin of the 2026 Toyota GR86? Here’s what we love about this track-ready ride in terms of technology.

• You’ll have the Active Safety Suite. This includes safety tech like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and automatic high beams.
• You’ll also get core safety features like the Pre-Collision System and Lane Departure Alerts.
• Toyota’s Star Safety System is included, which means you get vehicle stability control, anti-lock brakes, traction control and more.
• To round it out, the 2026 Toyota GR86 also comes with seven airbags throughout the cabin, anti-theft technology, LATCH anchors in the back for car seats, and a tire pressure monitoring system.

You’ll also love the one-year trial of Safety Connect, Service Connect, and Remote Connect through the app in this Orlando Toyota.

Do you know how many miles you drive in a day? How about in a year? What about used cars – is there a magic number where the mileage suddenly becomes too high for the car to become a good investment? Mileage is a big part of both buying and owning a car, new or used, and it’s important to consider it when you’re shopping and planning your commute. Toyota of Orlando is here to help; today we’re talking how many miles are TOO many.

Are you driving your car too much and kicking up the mileage?

When it comes to annual driving, 15,000 miles a year is usually the industry standard. However, we know that number will vary from driver to driver – some drivers will be well under while others will be well over. Whatever mileage you’re racking up on a yearly basis, you need to keep your car on a routine car care schedule. Even if you’re hitting high mileage, regular car maintenance will keep your Orlando Toyota in good shape and keep its performance reliable. Make sure you schedule regular oil changes, tire rotations, brake service, battery service, and tune-ups as needed.

What’s the mileage limit for buying a used car?

When it comes to shopping, how much mileage is too high for you to buy a used car? Here’s where it can get a bit tricky because not all mileage is the same. Here’s the breakdown:

• After 100,000 miles, cars tend to need a little bit more TLC in terms of maintenance and repairs. This shouldn’t be a deal-breaker, but you should factor it into your car ownership costs to ensure that you’re ready to handle the responsibility.
• Highway miles tend to do less damage on a car, believe it or not. It’s because the car is moving at a constant speed during its travels and not stopping and starting for the duration of the drive. If the car is higher mileage but has mostly highway miles on it, it’s still a good investment.
• Different makes retain value differently. Not to toot our own horn (OK we’re tooting, we admit it), but some cars just last longer than others. Toyotas are renowned throughout the automotive industry for having major durability and reliability and lasting FOREVER. Seriously – did you see our Instagram post about the million mile Tundra? Its odometer literally hit one million miles and it was STILL RUNNING. You may not want to drive your car for a million miles, but it’s nice to know it’s got the longevity.
• Car care counts. Let’s say you have two cars. One has 100,000 miles on it, but it’s had one or two owners and has consistent service records to prove it’s been cared for. The other only has 60,000 miles, but it’s had numerous owners and spotty car maintenance. Honestly, the 100,000 mile car may be a better investment because it’s been well cared for.

Why not come see for yourself? You can shop ALL of our Orlando used cars and check out their mileage online or in person. Visit Toyota of Orlando today at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 across from the Millenia Mall, or call us to schedule a test drive at (407) 298-4500

When you sink your hard-earned money into a car, you want it to last. It’s an investment in your day-to-day life but also your future because cars are expensive purchases. You want to get your money’s worth over time. That’s why it’s so important to shop cars that have good resale value; however, you should also look for vehicles that offer you durability, dependability, and a long life. Four new Toyotas were recently named the best options for vehicles to last 200,000+ miles, and we’ve got the details.

iSeeCars.com, an automotive research site, recently took a good long look at the cars out on the market to see which ones offer a solid lifespan. They compiled date from over 13.5 million used cars ranging from 1981 to 2017, observing the milage to see which ones had a lifespan of over 200,000 miles. Our Orlando Toyotas landed four spots on the list of the top ten – check it out.

Toyota Sequoia: Spot #1

This sophisticated new Toyota SUV took the number one spot when it comes to cars most likely to last more than 200,000 miles. It’s a popular option for drivers who want a little bit of everything – it’s family-friendly and spacious, seating up to 8 with cargo room to spare. However, it also offers luxury options like leather interior, 20″ alloy wheels, and an Entune Premium JBL sound system with navigation, Bluetooth, and more. On top of that, it has a 5.7L V8 engine, can tow up to 7,400 lbs and offers four-wheel drive with limited-slip differential.

Toyota 4Runner: Spot #4

However, it’s also up for adventure with features like four-wheel drive, active traction control, multi-terrain select, and CRAWL control.

Toyota Tacoma: Spot #8

Looking for a truck that can handle anything you throw at it? The Orlando Toyota Tacoma is your go-to. This new Toyota truck is up for off-roading at any moment with features like four-wheel drive, active traction control, TRD-tuned sport suspension, and a six-speed manual transmission. However, hitting the road in the city is no big deal because the Toyota Tacoma also offers Entune Audio with a 6.1″ touchscreen, Qi wireless charging, the Smart Key System, and optional leather interior.

Toyota Avalon: Spot #9

Sleek, sophisticated, and luxurious… the Toyota Avalon truly is one for the books. However, throw in the fact that it’s likely to last over 200k miles and things get taken to a whole new level!

Toyotas are known for their longevity – we know you’ve heard of the Million Mile Tundra and other high mileage superstars in our lineup. However, hitting 500,000 miles in your own Toyota should be pretty easy if you know how to take care of it properly. Our Orlando Toyota service techs are here to help you get there and beyond – check out our car maintenance checklist for your high mileage car. We’re “Making It Simple™”!

What Toyota of Orlando Service Do You Need at 500,000 Miles?

Getting your Toyota to 500,000 miles should be easy – as long as you stick to a routine car care schedule and address issues as they pop up (rather than ignoring them for a few months), your Orlando Toyota should sail to the 500k mark without issue. But what about after that? How do you care for a high mileage car? Here’s what our auto service experts recommend in terms of a car maintenance checklist once you hit the 500,000 mile mark.

• An oil and oil filter change. You should change your oil every 5,000 to 10,000 miles depending on your car and the type of oil you use (our Toyota of Orlando techs can recommend the right oil and the right oil change schedule). You’ll want to use a high-mileage synthetic oil to reduce leaks and protect older engine parts.
• Transmission service. You should replace your Orlando Toyota’s transmission fluid and filter routinely, even if your car has a rebuilt transmission. High mileage cars benefit from fresh transmission fluid as it helps prevent slipping and overheating.
• A coolant flush. Our Toyota of Orlando techs recommend a coolant flush and replacement at 500,000 miles. This will help prevent overheating and also reduce corrosion in the radiator and the engine block.
• Tire service and alignment: You should be getting routine tire service and replacing them as needed, and have our team inspect your wheel bearings for wear and tear while they’re at it.
• Body and undercarriage checks: Have our Toyota of Orlando auto service team check your ride for rust, especially on the frame and brake lines. If any rust is discovered, you should deal with it immediately.

Inspect Brakes, Suspension, and Belts During High Mileage Service Appointments

• Brake service. Schedule brake service for your high milage car. You’ll want to replace old brake fluid and have our Orlando auto service techs check all components in your brake system. High mileage cars are at risk for leaks and failures in their calipers, brake lines, and master cylinders, so let our techs keep you on the right track.
• Suspension and steering service. How’s your suspension holding up on your high mileage car? Part of our car maintenance checklist is inspecting the shocks, struts, bushings, ball joints, tie rods, and the steering rack, and making replacements where necessary. Loose suspension can affect steering, handling, and your safety, so don’t skip this service.
• Belts, hoses, and seals inspection. Rubber wears out over time no matter how good the quality. Let our Toyota of Orlando techs inspect your serpentine belt, timing belt, and all hoses and replace when necessary. This can help prevent costly repairs and even catastrophic failure.
• Fuel system check. Let our techs clean your high mileage car’s fuel injectors, replace the fuel filter, and check the whole system for leaks. Clogged injectors and dirty filters can cause engine damage and bad performance.

Don’t Forget About Your Electrical and Exhaust Systems

• Electrical system inspection. Our Toyota of Orlando techs will test your battery, alternator, and starter for issues. They’ll also inspect all wiring and sensors in your car for corrosion or faults, as high mileage cars can sometimes suffer electrical issues.
• Exhaust system check. Inspecting the exhaust system is another important item on our car maintenance checklist for 500,000 miles. Our techs can look for rust, leaks, and test the catalytic converter function to ensure that you’re not emitting dangerous fumes, and that you’re compliant with emissions laws in your state.

What Are Common Issues in High Mileage Cars?

High mileage cars need a little TLC, so you’ll need to do more than just follow a car maintenance checklist. You should also be on the lookout for issues, including:

• Engine wear and tear: Be on the lookout for signs like increased oil use, loss of engine compression, and oil leaks.
• Transmission problems: If your transmission slips, is noisier than usual, or has delayed shifting, you should bring your car to Toyota of Orlando.
• Suspension issues: Look for odd noises coming from your suspension system (like clunking) as well as uneven tire wear and poor handling. All of these signs can point to suspension problems.
• Electrical problems: If you notice sensor errors, electrical power failures, or flickering lights, you might have electrical issues and our Toyota of Orlando techs should take a look.
• Leaks: If you notice oil, coolant, brake fluid, or transmission fluid leaks, bring your car in. High mileage cars are more likely to have issues with seals and gaskets.

How Does Following a Car Maintenance Checklist Help Your Car Age Gracefully?

What are the benefits of sticking to a car maintenance checklist once your ride reaches 500,000 miles? Here are some of the perks you’ll be able to enjoy according to our Orlando auto service experts:

• Better reliability: You’ll break down less and your car will run smoothly 24/7, which means you don’t have to worry.
• More safety. When your brakes, tires, and suspensions are in good shape, it protects you and other drivers out on the road.
• Increased longevity: Routine car care extends the life of your car well beyond what you’d expect – you can get to a million miles and more if you’re driving a Toyota!
• Cost savings: Save money by catching issues early during routine maintenance checks – this will save you from having to spend a ton of money on repairs later.
• Resale value: A car that has a well-documented maintenance record has better resale value, even if it’s 500,000 miles or more!

What Happens if You Ignore Your Car Maintenance Checklist?

Now you know the perks of keeping a car maintenance schedule – let’s talk about what can possibly happen if you ignore it and don’t keep up with your Orlando Toyota’s care.

• You can experience major breakdowns. Small issues can quickly turn into expensive or even catastrophic problems, like engine or transmission failure.
• Your fuel efficiency may go down. Old oil, dirty oil filters, and worn spark plugs force your engine to work harder. This means you use more gas and subsequently, have to spend more at the gas pump.
• Your safety is at risk. Worn-out brakes, old tires, and unwieldy suspension can cause accidents and collisions or leave you stranded with a roadside emergency.
• You’ll have higher repair bills. Putting off your car maintenance checklist usually results in bigger and more expensive repair bills down the road.
• Your car’s lifespan will be shorter. Skipping out on your car maintenance checklist can dramatically shorten its life. This means you’ll have to not only shell out for big repairs but also replace your car sooner. Protect your investment!

Count on Toyota of Orlando to Stick to Your Car Maintenance Checklist
