1991 Toyota Sera review from UK and Ireland
"A distinctive small supercar design classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There are common faults on this model, eg door gas struts which eventually leak, the rubber grommet holding the bonnet prop perishes, the vinyl on the rear compartment cover can come unstuck and the headlamp covers go opaque, but can be refurbished with a light abrasive cleaner.
General comments?
For a car which was put into production after being originally a show vehicle, it is extremely well engineered, reliable and easy to own.
Parts availability is very good.
It can seem underpowered to some, but is well within its design capabilities as a lightweight sports coupe.
