1992 Toyota Soarer GTL 2.5 twin turbo
Summary:
Great quality, bang for performance buck!
Faults:
Dash cluster (the infamous 'blinky dash'), crumbling door trims.
Other than that I honestly can't think of anything...
General Comments:
The Soarer Twin Turbo got me into LOTS of trouble - the performance is terrific. As the revs mount, the 'hand of God' pushes you back into the seat and you leave just about anything way behind. I surprised WRX's, Holden HSV drivers, Porches, AMG's on many occasions - and all this from a $15K Japanese import.
In the wet? Watch out! the car is unashamedly tail happy, and I had to tip toe it around traffic circles, away from lights, corners...
Styling was timeless. My car was well looked after, and the paint gleamed - I would catch other drivers checking it out often.
I truly loved this car, and if it had been a manual, I would still have it...
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have owned my V8 Soarer for 10 years now, and it was built in 1994 and it has never failed an MOT. The quality of the car is unbelievable. Stainless steel exhaust, zinc plated body panels. Awesome stereo unit (built by Cambridge Audio). Parts are easy to obtain, as most parts are the same as the Toyota Supra. Buy one now.
All the best, Alan.
