ilicos Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) Been covered many times befoe but as a general guide you are looking at: Reliabilty = excellent 0-60 =6 seconds Faults = Normally just age related not specific or costly MPG = Around 22mpg (but depends on driving style) Top speed = 156(sat-nav) so far (On a private road of course:D:innocent:) Edited August 1, 2009 by ilicos (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbonut Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 19 and buying a supra, you will be looking at a hefty insurance premium but if you do a search on here there are lots of suggestions. These cars are getting on a bit now, I've had my NA for 2 1/2 years and wear and tear is the only issue. They are thirsty too so if you're going to do high miles you'll need deep pockets, especially with the fast pedal being so tempting RWD can be an education in the wet if your used to FWD The forum here is great for help and suggestions when problems crop up. Good luck and happy shopping!! Linda x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 been given a quote of 1200 just wondering if theres any out there that are any good? Yes it is just make sure they quote you on a imported mark 4! Insurance people often quote for a uk spec, or the mark 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w41k3r Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 i went from a civic coupe to a n\a supra, the supra is far superior you feel it just sitting in it as for 0-60 its around 6.2 from factory brakes were the problem on mine siezed calipers all 4 now lol great car in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 faults: rear calipers tend to sieze ,rust around the the rear hatch where the glass meets the panel bottom corners,and the dreaded heater matrix other than that its bulletproof ,unlike TTs which break down all the time [see tech section] enjoy mate there great cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
