Used Toyota GT86 for sale

Every Toyota GT86 comes equipped with essentials like traction control, multiple airbags and ISOFIX child-seat mounts. There’s also a quick-reacting stability program that helps manage the car’s playful handling, especially useful in wet conditions. Later models added LED headlights for increased visibility.

The GT86 is fitted with a single engine option across all years: a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, producing around 197bhp. Buyers can choose between a manual or automatic gearbox, both six-speed. While the focus is on rev-happy, responsive performance, the manual type is favoured due to its perfectly placed cockpit position and engaging feel.

Standard equipment across the GT86 range includes Bluetooth connectivity, a touchscreen system (on later models), climate control, cruise control and a multifunction steering wheel. Higher trims or special editions may add premium upholstery or heated front seats, but even base models come well-equipped.

Official combined fuel consumption for the GT86 stands at around 32-36mpg, depending on model year and gearbox. Automatic versions have slightly better official figures, though real-world driving – especially if you enjoy the sporty nature – may see lower averages.

This is a spirited, tail-happy car, so inspect for prior accident damage. Early cars had some recall work needed for valve springs and power steering wiring; make sure these have been completed. Watch for signs of rust around the door pillars and check for water in the rear lights. For extra confidence, get a professional check done with The AA Vehicle Inspection service.

The GT86 benefits from Toyota’s steadfast engineering and reputation for producing reliable vehicles. While a few early cars were recalled for specific issues, regular servicing and proper care mean the GT86 often offers low-hassle, high-reward ownership for UK drivers.
