I think I should try the manual version and see how much power it gives.. Regardless, the car's tail does swing sideways on strong acceleration like a rear wheel drive car should do and traction control kicks in at the last moment leaving you to enjoy that tail swing.. I have finished my review and damn, I need a break, 5 days of driving the car, a couple of days without a decent sleep due to the fact I was too excited to push it around.. I loved it; I would buy one in the future.. Links to my reviews: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 |

In Jordan the highest fuel value is 95. I was thinking of buying the car from Oman/UAE and taking it to Jordan. Please tell me it is ok?

As far as I understood low quality fuel will clog the injectors on the long run and periodic cleaning of the fuel injectors is vital to avoid such expensive damage. |

FR-S Octane Rating from Manual:
"...The engine is designed to operate at maximum performance using unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 93 AKI (98 RON) or higher. If 93 AKI (98 RON) fuel is not readily available in your area, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 AKI (95 RON) may be used with no detriment to engine durability or driveability. However, you may notice a slight decrease in maximum engine performance and you may hear some knocking (pinking) of an engine while using 91 AKI (95 RON) fuel. Use of 91 AKI (95 RON) fuel will not affect your warranty coverage...." RON is Octane. So thankfully 95 octane will work, though not as smoothly as 98.

"note" our gcc car is called toyota 86 just like the Japanese model, and it doesn't have the huge GT logo that you see on the european version. Last edited by adprokid; 06-13-2012 at 01:00 PM. |

My father checked the price in Oman: Manual (lowest trim): 11,000 OMR (~ 105,000 AED) (Not in stock - 6alab only) Auto (2nd trim): 11,500 OMR (~ 110,000 AED) :: I might buy, BUT seems overpriced?* *The car seem to come with the Premium Headlights (Black Housing rather than all chromed headlights), rear parking sensors and perhaps some other stuff. I am not sure, does the Middle-East version come with more feautures?

One guy bought the base manual model for AED 95K, the other bought the mid-range automatic for AED 115K.
The base automatic in the UAE is AED 100K and comes with no LSD.. Here is the spec sheet for the ones sold in the UAE: http://www.86cult.com/wp-content/upl...Spec-Sheet.jpg |
