Faults:

Not a lot:

Clutch was gone when I bought it.

Cruise control doesn't work.

General Comments:

Very well built, easy to work on & maintain. Totota common parts are everywhere so fairly easy to maintain. I drove it round for a few months before converting it into its new role destined for a slightly harder life than before.

Has now been stripped out & converted into a D1 GB Drift car running 260bhp on the original engine. Uprated suspension, LSD, six point cage, fire extinguishers etc. This car does sideways!!

Faults:

Condensation in passenger side headlamp, easily dried out with a little patience.

Occasionally squeaky, rear anti roll bar bushes, at slow speeds.

Small, not very noticable, cracks in the interior door trim.

All the above are relatively commonly found problems with Soarers.

General Comments:

This is a very smooth and quiet luxury grand tourer with sports coupe styling. A nice head turner! Performance with the 3.0 litre engine is adequate, but not mind blowing. My fuel economy, with mixed, but mainly town driving, averages between 25-30mpg.

Very solid with good build quality throughout.

Despite being nice and spacious for the driver and front passenger, for such a large car space seems to be limited. The rear seats are next to useless for anything other than small children. The boot is deceptively small too, but it's still just big enough to get a couple of suitcases in.

Headroom is good in my non sunroof model with at least 5cm to spare. I'm 6ft 3.
