1991 Toyota Soarer UZZ30 4.0 GT review from Australia and New Zealand
"Quite simply, the best money you'll ever spend on a car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Repaired the "Blinky-Dash",a common fault with 30 series Soarers:$27.50.
Fuel Pump ECU replaced:$390.
General comments?
Very, very impressed.
I've owned a lot of cars over the years, and this is one that's a definite "Keeper".
Smooth, quiet & powerful.
Very economical considering the weight (1590kg) and power available.
I like it so much I'm seriously considering adding a Twin Turbo JZZ30 as well.
I still get that "New car" feeling every time I drive it, and that's NEVER happened with ANY previous vehicle I've owned.
I definitely think these cars are under appreciated, and if more people test drove one, they would become instant converts to the excellence that is Soarer.
