Faults:

The entire drive train needs attention:

-Differential grinds when turning sharply.

-There's some play in the Universal Joint causing a "clunk" when applying power.

-The back left Constant Velocity Joint rumbles and vibrates at low (below 20km/h) speed.

The left hand Power Window Motor appears to be dead.

General Comments:

The body is close to immaculate, still shiny black, a single spot of rust on one of the bottom door seams. No leaks in the sunroof, no leaks in the hatch.

The engine and bay are clean enough to eat off, no leaks whatsoever.

The engine seems to be in good condition, it's easy to spin the wheels in second gear even with 245/50 tires on the back (no wonder the drive train problems). Doesn't seem too hard on fuel consumption tho'.

The seats are comfortable, especially the drivers seat with pneumatic lumbar support controls. With all the available adjustments you can set the seat up like you're strapped into a cockpit.

All the electronic options still work (bar the left window). Sound system is stock, but good enough to not bother upgrading. Digital dash display is still all go.

Heaps of room for carting stuff in the back. No problem getting my 3 year old daughter in and out of her booster seat.

The long bonnet with the low seating position took some getting used to, even with my head brushing the roof.

It's fun to drive when you want it, effortless when you're not in the mood. I'm sure I'll be pulled over any day now.

Nothing, but routine maintenance items.

General Comments:

I have always enjoyed this car. As the years went by and all cars began to look the same it became increasingly stylish and distinctive. It has always been fun to drive and practical in all weather, but nasty snow storms. I've since also owned a 300ZX turbo and a BMW 5 series, but have always loved the Celica Supra the best. I hope to keep it going another 5 years!

In my three years and over 30,000 miles of ownership, nearly nothing went wrong with this car. I had to replace the gas tank when it got it, because a small hole had rusted in it about half way up. Other than that, regular oil and filter changes were the only things I had to put into it.

General Comments:

While the horsepower (167 stock) may no longer be impressive compared with the cars manufactured today, the suspension and steering still make this an outstanding ride.

Everyone expects a Supra to be a high performance car. Everyone knows that Toyotas are bulletproof. The surprise with this car is how utilitarian it is. The rear seats, while not good for a long trip, are certainly large enough for adults to ride in while driving around town. These seats also fold down, which, along with the large hatch, makes for an astounding ability to move large items around in the back of this sports car.

A number of little touches make this car truly a joy to operate. The driver's seat is one of the most comfortable ever. There are little lights positioned wherever you might want or need one. There are sprayers to clean off the headlights.

All in all, it's a fun car to drive and surpisingly practical.
