1990 Toyota Sera review from Australia and New Zealand
"A beautiful, pleasurable car to own and drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gas strut on the drivers side door is leaking causing the door to jamb halfway up.
Seats are very hard to clean - my interior came as an off white color and has many stains due to age.
Back window broke when attempting to remove plastic aftermarket wing, which was very costly to replace considering their rarity here.
Passenger side door will not open from the outside - clips have broken.
General comments?
The most amazing car I could have ever chosen for my own. May not have all the power, but it has the body to start hearts.
If you have the bodywork done by the manufacturer, and all you have to do is drop a turbo and a manual into it, which is cheap and easy to do, you can't go wrong.
