Buying Guide

Good

• 'Toad' shaped Supra (the orange car at the end of 'The Fast and the Furious') with 326bhp and choice of six-speed manual box or four-speed auto.
• 4515mm long by 1810 wide.
• Fully adjustable air suspension. Aerotop had lift out targa roof panels (as per 'Fast & Furious' Supra).
• Type R bodykit brings the high flying rear spoiler which is how most UK cars were sold.
• Expect 160mph top speed, 0-60 in 5 seconds and 17-20mpg.
• Toyota generally 10th lowest average warranty repair costs in 2003 Warranty Direct Reliability index (index 74.95 v/s lowest 31.93) Link:- www.reliabilityindex.co.uk

Bad

• Official UK imports stopped in 1996, but independent imports continued with the result that most post 1993 Supras in the UK are grey imports.
• Need the Japanese RZ model for 280 - 326bhp (Japan gives conservative estimate for legal reasons).
• Non turbo Japanese SZ puts out 225bhp and doesn't usually have a rear spoiler.

Watch

• Check spec carefully.
• Know what you're buying.
