1992 Toyota Soarer V8 Limited review from Australia and New Zealand
"A wonderful luxurious bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car was in very good condition, therefore nothing much was wrong with it.
Only afew cosmetic problems, the cd stacker had a few problem trying to read and load.
The front arm-brushes were worn out, but doesn't hurt to drive with them.
The transmission and engine mounts were replaces. Common problems in soarers.
General comments?
For $20,000 the car was worth every penny. It had luxurious options that that's worth more than $20,000 alone.
The ride was very comfortable due to the comfy seats and drving position. The quite interior made music sound like a concert.
The doors are a little big and heavy, but looks good.
Boot space was reasonable, with a space saver spare tyre.
When on the road, the car is a beast. Managing to out do most cars its size. Not so fun when you hit something. The repairs or parts for these cars are really expensive.
But well worth the price and ownership.
