1987 Toyota Supra LIFTBACK review from North America
"A fun piece of junk!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Window and door seals leaking at 90k
power window switch at 92k
shocks at 100k
rear shocks at 105k
head gasket failure at 133k
engine burns 2 quarts of oil 1000k!
Ignition module at 135k.
General comments?
I purchased this car brand new right
along with it's rival, a 1987 nissan
300zx. overall the supra gets
decent gas mileage, a great ride
and handling. and has one of the quietest
running six cylinder engines I've ever
heard. but until recently the reliability
has been poor, and not to mention
expensive! the head gasket was close to
$1700.00 to fix by itself! was very
tempted to not repair it, but there
aren't too many of these anymore in this condition. I wish toyota would cover their faulty head gasket issue.
