1987 Toyota Supra Turbo review from North America
"Would never buy anything else"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problems I have had with my vehicle thus far, has been the body. I live in a very harsh climate and, the previous owner drove it in the winter. I had to put new fenders + quarters on the vehicle, but otherwise it has been great. All I hear is all this jargan on the net about head gaskets being a problem on these cars. I have not had any problems as far as the engine goes on this vehicle.
General comments?
I would just like to reply to the gentlemen saying that the Supra is a headache and that a Toyota MR2 is the better buy. As for myself I would not be caught dead in those death traps. I am a fan of cars that don't have a 1000 pound body in order to get 7 seconds 0-60. I like the safer Supra like cars, that had safety in mind, not all out speed for a bunch of teenage show offs.
