1989 Toyota Supra review from UK and Ireland
"One of the highest levels of performance and luxury combined for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine management problems with a cam-sensor at 90,000K.
Head gasket blew at 110,000K (turbo models are more prone to this).
Always extremely hard ride from TENS Active Suspension (Imports only).
Removable roof leaked from a perished window seal.
Back lights failed when water drained off the tailgate into a light sensor box (black box under the driver's side rear light cover) corroding the components inside.
General comments?
Expensive when it goes wrong, but usually reliable. Turbos less reliable.
High performance imports have the capability to blow themselves apart (head gaskets especially).
