1993 Toyota Supra RZ review from Australia and New Zealand
"Excellent performance with great reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1. Replaced the battery twice.
2. Rear hatch rattle. This drives me nuts!. Apparently this is a common problem on these cars and can be rectified by re-fitting the rear hatch bumpers. I've been informed that these cost $8 each, but can be a nuisance to fit.
3. Small electrical problems. Gear selection light doesn't illuminate. Appears to be only a minor problem. Temp selection light also occasionally fails. Rear brake light strip shows a few bulbs out. Overall these are only minor problems.
4. Jesus handle on passenger side is broken. It was like that when I bought the car.
5. Minor squeaks and interior rattles.
6. CD player fails completely leaving the CD jammed inside. Won't turn on or off. Then miraculously starts working again.
7. Traction control is very annoying at times. I always turn this off.
General comments?
This is an absolutely awesome sports car. For cost effectiveness nothing compares. These cars are now selling in Australia for mid to low 20's. Twin turbo traction control, performance is mind blowing. The sound of the turbo is absolutely awesome. Styling is superb, reliability is excellent. Insurance for younger drivers may be quite high. Occasionally parts can be an issue. For anyone considering purchasing one of these cars... my advice is get one today, you won't be dissapointed. This car is now 10 years old and turns more heads than Wimbledon.
