Compared to Nissan`s 350 Z which has less power but due to a design flaw from what I`ve read recently. Heres a flavor of it and just be greatful that your Supra isn`t as bad as this !

Favorite feature:

The car was quite fast and driving it was a pleasure.

 

Least favorite feature:

The design flaw with regards to not being able to adjust the camber leads to tire problems at very low mileage and the interior quality was not very good.

 

Advice to buyer:

Shop around and ask questions about the tire problems which is due to an alignment flaw.

 

Detailed review:

This Car has spirit and handles reasonably well. The drop down top works well. The major problem is the tire feathering issue which Nissan tends to keep quiet. The tires were shot at 10K miles and after sevral fruitless discussions with Nissan, I traded the Nissan for a BMW. Sorry, but could not be bothered to change tires every 8K miles.

Seems to be a z related problem, the 300zx's front tyres

wear out horrendously quickly. They 'drag' the front wheels

when going round corners. Reckon on approx 6000 miles!!

Had a go in a 350z a while back, sounded awesome, but

the interior build quality wasn't up to much, just looked

cheap & plasticky.

Well I got my Supe about 11 months ago with nearly new Goodyear Eagle F1s, covered about 15k miles and both front and rears are ready for replacement. Seems very resonable to me, especially since the new set are costing me £368 (excl fitting).

Yup, for a supercar thats pretty good going. I've been impressed too, relatively cheap (if on stock tyres).
