1986 Toyota Supra Coupe review from North America
"A reason to take a new look on imports"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Emergency cable locked up and destroyed brake shoes, a lot of leather fatigue on seats, strange drive train noises.
General comments?
Being 6'4 I can't comfortably drive most vehicles so my scope is somewhat limited when buying a new car. However, I was astonished when test driving my 86 1/2 supra, it's fast, takes abuse and the comfort features are mind boggling for the year it was produced. I didn't hesitate to immediately add a K&N Fipk system, MSD ignition, Borla exhaust and a killer stereo. The targa roof is also a welcome feature, even though I've owned the car for a short time it is likely that the white rocket will be a fixture in the garage until it moves to my son's in about fifteen years. Many applause to the designers and engineers at Toyota!
