1988 Toyota Supra Turbo review from North America
"A quick car from the era when it was cool to have a bigger engine than sitting space"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The windshield needed to be replaced in order to pass inspection.
I am still having a problem with burning antifreeze and cannot pinpoint what exactly the problem is.
General comments?
I cannot help feeling like I have blasted back to Vice City in this 1988 model.
It has so much torque.
The thing handles better than any car I have driven.
Being that it is rear-wheel drive, driving it is extremely fun. If you try it is really easy to let your back end fish-tail around corners.
The only thing I do not like is the lack of trunk space, which makes for few options when it comes to car audio. You can really only put a 12" sub-woofer, and that is with a custom-made box.
