1986 Toyota Supra review from North America
"86.5 - Quick and Comfortable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car ran hot for a year, but never overheated. The dealer couldn't determine the problem. Finally, a local mechanic determined it was the head gasket at 75,000 miles.
The stock Goodyear Gatorbacks are horrible in rain/snow. I recommend RIKEN tires on this car. They don't last forever, but are great if you use the car all year round.
General comments?
The car is extremely comfortable on long trips. The driver seat has all kinds of lumbar supports.
The digital climate control is my favorite feature. Works just like a programmable home thermostat.
With the stock exhaust system, you can't even tell the car is on! A very quiet sports car at 200 hp.
