1989 Toyota Cressida review from North America
"Don't buy one unless you like pulling heads off"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
3 blown head gaskets. This is the Supra engine. I am very disappointed in Toyota for not admitting the problem. I have a lot of miles on it, but I also have a 65 Mustang with a lot more and not one blown head gasket. Toyota should address this persistent problem and get their heads on straight because I for one am going to Honda. I don't think I am alone.
