1992 Toyota Soarer review from Australia and New Zealand
"Reliable performance in comfort"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Central locking lost power
Heat damage to climate control
Boots struts have gone weak.
General comments?
When compared to a commodore the same age this car is miles ahead. Fully optioned, no rust, no faded paintwork and still looks modern.
Low maintenance, I change the oil, oil filter and air filter every five thousand kilometers and had no mechanical faults since I brought the car. Soarer's automatically tune themselves to the way you drive and the fuel you use, making this car easy and cheap to service.
Has plenty of power if you wish to take the car out on track-days or the drags and comfort for daily driving to work or take the kids to school, making the soarer the perfect car for the dad who like to have fun on the weekends.
