I'm pretty sure everyone is just having a bit of "tongue in cheek" fun and paying out a car that they actually love..




Correct.

I have two of the things, but that doesn't mean I am blind to the flaws in the car.

Thank you Toyota for designing the rear end in such a fashion that you have to completely disassemble the rear axle group just to change a wheel bearing.

Thank you for making it so damn heavy!

Thanks for not putting cup holders and centre arm rest for the rear seats.

Thanks for not putting an air bag for the passenger side.

The Soarer is still a beautiful thing nontheless :-)

It's pretty comfortable though :-)

Yeah Ali I know the passenger airbag only came out after 96 model I think. But anything prior to it they didn't. THEY HAD THE TECHNOLOGY lol oh well

Dear Toyota, thanks for making the remote for central locking $600, it really makes my day.
I'd much rather buying a full aftermarket alarm system for a faction of that

Funny you should mention that, I lost my key and am up for $500-$600 for a New blank+Remote+Chip, to make things worst I have to prove to Toyota Japan that I have my car registered in Japan (Security Reasons) which is not possible

Gawd, the first thing I do when I get a car with factory remote locking is replace it with an aftermarket alarm system - factory systems are usually pretty particularly in older vehicles - as I recall the Soarer one is a single button, so you are never sure if you have just locked or unlocked your car right? And even with a fresh battery in the key I seem to remember it not working from more than about two meters away.

Dear Toyota,
Thank you for making a car that has aged and continues to age gracefully. One that still looks modern and sounds like a pride of really pissed off lions rather then a swarm of fat bees when you put your boot into it.
Thank you for the smile it puts on my face even when I just took the skin of knuckle number 4 trying to undo some bolt that hasn't been touched in 19 years.
Seriously though WTF were you thinking putting the alternator below the power steering pump??? and why can't I re-condition my TEMS air struts? I don't wanna buy coil overs Mr Toyoda
