1991 Toyota Sera review from UK and Ireland
"A rare work of art"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far, no major faults have been encountered. The door struts had started to sag, so they were re-gassed which seems to have cured them for now.
The super live surround sound had a problem with the amplifier when bought, but this has since been replaced.
General comments?
Just to explain, the comfort marks seem low, but that's only compared to my previous car. It's not really that bad.
The Sera isn't a fast car, but it's nippy. It's not about speed though, it's about driving a very rare and stunning looking car. A glass roof and gull-wing doors for a few thousand pounds...
