KEN
Strength:
Awesome power,awesome handling,awesome brakes,very comfortable seats,easy to upgrade power,quick shifting automatic transmission and awesome looks
Weakness:
Absolutely nothing!!!!!!!!!! The only potential bad thing about this car is the price of repairs and routine maintenance... I paid $23,000 for my 1994 Supra with 29,000 miles on it..I would definitely recommend the Supra to anyone looking for a high performance car...It rides far better than an RX-7 or Corvette and will blow the doors off of either except maybe a C5...My bone stock Twin-turbo with the automatic transmission ran a 13.59 at 105mph on regular street tires....The automatic shifts so smooth in daily driving and when you want to race just switch it to the manual mode and shift it manualy.....In that mode it snaps off shifts a lot quicker....Absolutely the greatest car I have ever owned and driven....Period!!!!!!!!! Similar Products Used: I have owned 2 Integra GSR's and a Nissan 200SX and none of them compare in any way to the Supra..... |

Handling, acceleration, looks, build quality, reliablity
Weakness:
nothing The perfect sports car in every way. Bullet proof, super fast, unlimited top end, and great handling are some of the reasons to own this car. It can be EASILY (I mean easily) modded to 500 hp. You cannot hurt the engine. Toyota builds the most reliable engines. I have 40k hard, hard miles on the car and have only to change the oil. Even if it blew up today it would still be the BEST car I have ever owned. Forget all the reviews about "lack of soul" Yeah, yeah yeah. I've driven the "soulful" 911 up the California coast (a 2000 model) and actually liked the supra better. The ergonomics are PERFECT. The ONLY negative is that Toyota dropped this car. This has really upset alot of Toyota loyalists. Can you say NSX? Similar Products Used: corvette |

Strength:
IT'S FAST, THE BEST TOYOTA EVER NEXT TO A 4AGE COROLLA TWIN-CAM 1985 MODEL. SPORTY LOOK, THAT LOOKS BETTER THEN A MUSTANG,CAMARO,FIREBIRD AND HONDAS AS WELL. THE INTERIOR, THE ENGINE CARPARTMENT. THAT BAD ASS REAR. IT'S TOP SPEED 180MPH......AND MUCH MORE.......
Weakness:
IT DOESN'T HAVE A CUP HOLDER, FOR A CAR LIKE THIS IT SHOULD HAVE ONE OR TWO. IT'S BLIND SPOTS. MINE DOESN'T HAVE TRAC CONTROL!!! THE REAR SEATS ARE MADE ONLY FOR JAPANEESE PEOPLE...... IN THE $30,000 AREA.....I WOULD TO THE SINGLE COUPLE THAT LOVES THE FAST LANE AND THE SPORTY LOOK:) Similar Products Used: NUMBER ONE IS SUPRA TWIN TURBO THEN COMES THE 3000GT VR4 THEN THIRD THE 300ZX TWIN TURBO THEN FOURTH THE DODGE SEALTH AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE RX7 TURBO |

MKIII turbo
Strength:
Amazing upgrade potential!!!stock block(with exception of head gasket) is good to 500+ hp. try adding an exhaust/intake and gaining 50hp with another car, it wont happen. this car is very stylish. very luxurious interior(leather,power seats,pwr windows/locks,climate control..etc)
Weakness:
WEIGHT, this car weighs close to 4000lbs when loaded! gas mileage isnt what i expected...13-15mpg or so...could also be due to lead foot factor. The MKIII supra turbos are simply incredible cars. Typical japanese over engineering, rock solid chassis.The 7M-GTE powerplant has incredible power potential. the additions of an aftermarket exhaust/intake and a boost controller can easily put you over 300hp/325trq in this car. the headgasket is a weakpoint in this car. have your stock HG replaced and have the engine taken to a reputible machine shop. buy an HKS/Greddy metel head gasket. with this...your engine is running very conservativley at 320hp. with an HKS F-CON and FCD 380-400hp is not out of the question. take off acceleration of the car could be stronger..no slouch by anymeans, but if you have ever experienced the 3.0 inline 6's top-end, it pales in comparison. Civics need not try these cars. mustangs look elsewhere. sure the LT1/LS1 V8's might get you to about 80mph, after that kiss them goodnight...trust me. i know from experience.

Strength:
Its a great car,it handles well its acceleration is amazing,yet the Mitsubishi gt 3000 with similar power is a great deal quicker.I still manage to blow most cars off the road.
Weakness:
I like every thing about this car,it has great all round performance, the only thing which it lacks is 4 wheel drive I paid $27,500 for the car,it is a twin turbo charged 3.0 litre with 320 hp.It has been extremely reliable never skipping a beat.I would definetley recommend this car to any person who has the the need for speed.But if you want to go real fast get a Mitsubishi gt 3000!!!!!!

I purchased this car with the hopes of becoming a man :). And it did make me a man. My car is the 3rd Royal Saphire Blue TT Targa Supra to land in the United States. First of all this car looks amazing. Especially the rear end. I haven't had any mechanical problems with it. Have driven it over 70 000 miles in the last few years. Current mileage is 82 k. The cockpit is sweet. The TTs are a blast, chicks dig it. A lot of power for towing campers!! I recently had the opportunity to race a 98 boxter on an open 2 mile stretch on the trans canada highway, well there were no curves etc we both stopped in the midst of the highway and started on a common 'go'. The porsche had faster acceleration but when I hit sixth I toasted the boxter, we stopped for lunch at a gas station and the guy was really pissed off, especially since I told him that maybe it was because his Boxter was made in CANADA EH..... ;)
Weakness:
Nothing much, just get a good stereo, that stock really needs help?? For the price I paid this car is worth it. It runs well with minimal mechanical problems (none yet). Lots of power (I actually towed a trailer on 500 mile route in the rugged mountains of Northern Ontario Canada. I also towed my friends ford ecoline for 150 miles. This car has exceptional handling. Nice color. Back seats aren't good if you wanna be a man. If you haven't guessed yet well I'm 16. Nway I'd recommend it!! Similar Products Used: 92 Mercedes 560 Sel Coupe (in germany, sweet thang), 89 porsche 911 (I could run faster ;)), 94 300zx TT (good only when new) |

Strength:
Pretty fast
Weakness:
Hard to launch. Uninspiring looks. Lots of repairs. Mods not as effective. 6 speed awkward gear ratios. Uncomfortable interior. All things relative, a disappointing car. Not up to par with other sports car out there. BPU is NOT as advertised. Getting womped by a Z is not an embarassment I had in mind. |
