Review

I just love this car! Stylish without being 'over the top'. Good handling, comfort and ride without being irritatingly oversharp, bumpy and twitchy. Relaxingly roomy with great luggage capacity. IT SEATS 4! Ultra quiet and smooth when accelerating hard. It is a quality car that happens to cost very little for what it delivers - a lot of bangs for the buck.It is a Grand Touring car rather than a serious sports car. It has a timeless understated elegance that will/has not dated as fast as others.

Favorite Features

Supra is a HEAVY car which allows it to have a comfortable ride and aids stability. It seats 4 in relative comfort - try doing that in any Porsche or many other far more expensive sporting coupes.

Suggested Improvements

Better rear vision. Non pop-up headlights. TEMS with more settings than just 'normal' or 'sports'. Vents to capture and release more air to and from engine. Better sound system and fuel economy - AND more bhp - (who doesn't?)

Review

i have no complaints from my turbo supra. i LOVE it. the FACTORY headgaskets can be re-torqued for reduced risk of blowing. stock boost definitely doesnt pose a problem. im running a steel gasket with a garret 62-1 modified ct-26 turbo ad arp bolts. i push 350+ bhp out of my car and nothing less than a t/a or a z28 is a challenge. cobras neednt even bother applying ;) mods cost $1300 list price. did the gasket myself.

Favorite Features

power seats, targa top, headlight auto off(even though they pop up)

Suggested Improvements

cupholders, pop ups shouldnt be, targa ridgidity with top off, glass area makes for hot car, electric fans instead- 12 hp intercooler piping expands too much- loses boost presure

I love the car, where else can you get all this power with comforts that most cars today dont offer, heated mirrors, 12 way adjustable seats, adjustable suspension and automatic climate control cant beat that!!

Favorite Features

Power and comfort. Styling

Head Gasket

Review

I've had to replace the head gasket TWICE in 4 years! This has caused me to replace the clogged catalytic converter and the exhaust, muffler, etc. Toyota should be sued over the faulty engine design of it's 3 liter engines!

Favorite Features

The body design is among the best looking, and the features inside is numerous.

Suggested Improvements

The cooling system and the head gasket.

'90 Supe non-turbo to turbo swap

Review

Very quick car, and fun to drive despite its weight. Loaded with luxury features, too. Everything about the car is great untill it comes to the weak factory equiped head gasket. Swap it out for a metal one before it blows and your set.

Favorite Features

TEMS is great, sometimes you just don't feel like having a sporty ride, and sometimes you want to feel every bump. On the fly adjustable shocks are a definate plus. Luxury items in a fast car, like power seats and automatic climate control make the ride more appealing.

Suggested Improvements

The head gasket needs to be stronger. Sort of funky factory alarm as well.

Review

fantastic coupe, plenty fast w/ natural aspiration, blast to drive, yet comfy for a long road trip. reliable? you bet. 26 mpg hwy ok for the power provided. 5sp manual revs a bit high on long freeway drives (well over 3500 rpm at 80 mph).

Favorite Features

bullet proof quality, handling!, power.

Suggested Improvements

flat glass heats up interior, a tad more room for luggage (hight), possibly rear passanger, even though, it IS a sports car... / power window button replacement 180$ ?!

Review

A great car, that in its day was $22,000 and now you can get it for around 6-7Gs. still surpasses new cars in acceleration, sporty look, and cool adjustable air shocks. Reliabillity is great and you will definately get your moneys worth out of this car and mileage. have owned 4 supras, one of each generation, and have loved them all.

Favorite Features

the ease of tuning this car to achieve more horsepower and speed is great.

Suggested Improvements

head gasket needs to be recalled.
