10 reason MK3 Supras are garbage
- Thread starter zSP3CTERz
- Start date
6 of the 10 points (7M is garbage, it's heavy as piss, red interior is terrible, and aftermarket styling is pathetic) are actually extremely true and anyone arguing otherwise is just incorrect. 2 of the points are just straight up wrong (suspension design is actually great, targa top is an OPTION only), and the remaining 2 points imo are a "who cares".
The A70 supra is nothing special, and there are deff some better 80's-90's platforms available from a straight performance aspect. But the A70 does have some great features that make it a fun car to own and a great alternative to a lot of the other cookie cutter 80's sport cars.

The title should have been "10 reasons why the mk3 supra is garbage, in my opinion." (the opinion of the writer).
Most of the items are subjective to individual preferences and few of the points are factual (and wrong (suspension, weight etc.)).
Needless to say, I'm not going to let this guy's website bother me. It's his own opinion... lol

7m's have a tendency to reflect the knowledge and dedication of their owners, they're only heavy if you compare them to pure sports cars (and even then only of the time they were made), styling is subjective... All in all man, I have a hard time saying that there was a better overall car made in the 80's. I will concede though, that burgundy interior is pretty nasty...tErbo b00st;1830569 said:

There are plenty in the reviews (old magazines) tested that I posted.

I Love supras mkii- mkiv, but have to admit the mkiii sucks because of the 7mbhg. If I had to put them in order it would be mkiv, then mkii, and lastly mkiii. So I have no problems with someone calling out the mkiii. It is what it is, but I still love them.
Yeah, it's really too bad Toyota didn't jump on fixing the head gasket problem right away in the 80's. I'm sure the car would have a better rep.
Either that or they should have replaced the 7M with the 1JZ in 89'. That would have helped just as much.

+1. But only in the mk3 supra because it suits the 80's styling.

Fixing what? Oh wow, you blow a headgasket wih a shimmed wastegate after 20 years and 100K+ miles :icon_roll
There was never a recall because it was never a problem with the car.
I love the 7m! It has allowed me to pick up 2 sweet mkiii for $700 and $800. One only had 55000 miles.
All of the rest.T701jz;1831062 said:
Hey, even NA's blow head gaskets, but it's really not that uncommon of a failure point for a vehicle. I've seen BHG's on pretty much anything. About the only thing I haven't seen a BHG on is a rotory.Poodles;1831361 said:
first time ive seen that. he sounds like some clueless kid. first big hint is he thinks his massive 2 years of experience with mk3s make him some kind of expert.....bahahhaahahhaaa
Can't help but to wonder what his "2 yrs experience" entailed. At best maybe some kind of oil changing grease monkey at the local Express Lube by the sound of his ranting.

There are quite a few people around here that have been messing with these cars for longer that two years who I would rate at a knowledge level of "doesn't know their own ass from a hole in the wall". And no, I'm not naming names - do a little reading - they stick out like a sore thumb...
Results matter. Show me someone who's been messing with these cars for that long and can show you a string of failed, blown engines, and I'll show you someone who doesn't know what the fuck they are doing. I'm sure the author falls somewhere close to, if not in that category...
