1989 Toyota Supra Turbo review from North America

"Buy this car if you can"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Starter/battery/cable issue, fails at times to start, most of my Toyota Celicas and Supras had this issue, phantom won't start. Usually self correcting.

Squeaky brakes, drives me nuts.

However a solid performer, may not like to start but will after a time, usually close to when you can get a tow set up.

I have only been stranded once due to my error. Usually can limp to a shop or has a bad day in front of the house.. all the Celica/Supras I had exhibited this unusual quality.

I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and in the winter at -30C my 3.0 liter Supra will come to life, even without a block heater; never came with one, same as all the Celica's I owned.

General comments?

Constantly have unsolicited offers to purchase.

Can easily sell the same day you list.

Fun fun fun to drive, quick and responsive.

Very impressive performance from a 3.0 liter turbo.

Handles very well.

Looks awesome, and with a ground effects package, even better.

Equipped to the nuts as the high end Toyota of 1990.

Can move furniture if necessary due to the hatch.

Nice stock seats, electric divers c/w lumbar, temp set A/C, good gauges.

If you can find a turbo 5 speed targa roof model, buy it, you will not be sorry.
