1997 Toyota Supra RZ review from UK and Ireland
"A lethally awesome, gorgeous machine!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In my experience practically nothing.
In all extremes of weather, I've had 100% start up every time.
General comments?
Had this car two years, and have enjoyed it tremendously.
Its beautiful to look at, especially from the rear with its awesome spoiler and high tech light cluster, and turns heads all the time, real street credibility and presence-remember the Fast & the Furious!!
Acceleration is amazing,0-60 in 5.1 seconds, and overtaking easy, though real agility slightly compromised when compared to somewhat smaller and lighter sports cars-not to be thrown around on slick roads!
Fuel economy-lets face it if you have to ask then you've picked the wrong car!
I'd recommend the turbo version, which engages with an awesome sound and roars up to high revs such that you're literally jolted back in your seat!
Equipment levels are standard for most of these, plenty of toys and gadgets as you'd expect, but factory stereo/ICE not much to write home about, personally I installed custom set-up, Alpine, Phoenix Gold etc.
