4. Toyota 86 Philippines Cons

• AT detriments performance – the automatic transmission of the 86 is geared in conserving energy so as a result even if it is a smooth spread, the return will be below par.
• Lack of space – definitely the back seat is pretty cramped. It is more likely to be used as a cargo shelf than to squeeze in some small kids there. This might be a downer for drivers with kids.
• Car technology needs – the Toyota 86 doesn’t have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, which is somewhat disappointing as these applications have become a staple to car technologies. True that the 86’s infotainment system can be paired via Bluetooth and there is also the presence of a USB, other mobile apps won’t be available to be taken advantage of.
