1994 Toyota Supra Turbo review from North America

Power antenna has bent twice... left it up both times through the car wash! Replaced with a rubberized GPS-style stubby antenna.

Weather-striping at front of targa roof became loose causing turbulence when the targa was off. Added 3M double sided tape to cure this.

Toyota was years ahead of the competition when it introduced this car in 1993. Even by today's standards, this car is still very relevant. Fantastic engine performance, stupendous brakes, driver-centric comfortable interior, and RELIABLE. There are few sports cars that can match the reliability of a Supra.

My Supra is a 1994, and has been tastefully modded. It now makes over 500 horsepower at the crank, yet is still docile enough to be my daily driver. Combined city and highway driving yields 22.5 MPG, which is amazing for this caliber of performance. Put flatly, the performance is immense. This is one of the few cars that you can truly say pushes you back in the seat with its explosive power and acceleration. How fast? Mid 12's in the quarter mile on street tires on relatively low boost. The interior is very comfortable, with the center stack tilted towards the driver. A tach sits front and center in the gauge display. The ride is firm, but very comfortable and forgiving. It is nowhere near as harsh as a C5 Corvette, yet delivers better handling (.96G on the skidpad!). The targa adds a nice touch for summer days, and is remarkably turbulent free.

But best of all is just how reliable this car is. You'd think with the amount of horsepower, that things might break. Not so. All that is done is regular oil changes every 3000 miles. I also change the spark plugs at the same interval since it's cheap to do and keep the car performing perfectly. Nothing has gone wrong with this car. It's as reliable as any other Toyota, which means just add gas and go, go , go!
