1990 Toyota Supra review from UK and Ireland
"Impressive, but sadly not reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After 3 days of taking delivery the gearbox had to be rebuilt by the dealer.
Managed to get through 4 radiators.
Head gasket (as per a normal Supra!).
Radio-cassette code locked up without incorrect entry.
General comments?
Servicing expensive, e.g: spark plugs £20 each!!
Don't buy one when it's due a plug change!
Breakdown cover very useful which had been provided by the dealer (opportunity to drive the rest of Toyota range!!).
Impressive performance & well built (except the engine!),
Sadly the gearbox from the 2.8 could not handle the 3.0 Turbo!
