1987 Toyota Supra review from North America
"Has turned me into a Supra maniac"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My head gasket went the year I got car. Appeared owner, prior to me, had put fix it stuff in to make it good for awhile. After I had head gasket fixed by a real mechanic, the engine has been excellent.
Other things have been general wear and tear things for a car with 175,000 miles on it.
General comments?
Even with the head gasket problem I have truly enjoyed and loved driving this car.
Excellent performance and handling.
The seats are so comfortable I want to have them in every car I own. Prior car (VW Golf) was totally uncomfortable.
People may complain about service cost, but I find myself having to be at a garage a lot less with this car, than any other car I have owned.
