Lexus Soarer 2.5L

I have owned my Soarer since 2000 and have to say its the best car I have ever owned. It is a 1992 and has never failed an MOT.

In the 7 years I have owned it, it has only let me down once, and that was the battery, not the car.

Servicing costs are reasonable in line with most other dealer costs and most parts are readily available. Be prepared to pay a bit more for specialist parts like interior trim etc but all in all, highly recommended.

Oh yeah, nearly forgot to mention its fast, very fast for such a big car.

This is a real drivers car can be modified to over 700 bhp and a quarter the price of a Nissan Skyline, with more style.

Definitely a car to own once in your life. Everybody goes on about the Porsche 911 in this way but this car can give you its benefits but with a comfortable ride if you want it!! A heavy car that handles like it was on rails and just keeps on accelerating.

On the other side of it although in normal mode the suspension is still slightly hard for a true luxury cruiser, considering its a sports car the car is very comfortable to ride in, and unless you press the engine you almost can't hear it. When you do though all you really hear is the beautiful roar of those twin turbos ramming the air (and petrol) into the engine. In my opinion you will find this car has a split personality, its a sensible comfortable cruiser one minute, but when you put yur foot down the laws of physics start to bend!!!

I would recommend only buy a good one though, they are not designed to be worked on if they go wrong, so it is essential it appears well maintained as being an import you won't get a service history. Bodywork is not a problem but even to replace a thermostat was no easy task.

Launching in one of these is just like a tt supra, except luxury. They run very low 14's stock and with a liitle mod, even low 13's. The baal bearing turbo has its obvious advantages and not to mention the vvti. not as good as v-tec but a good second best. Overall awesome, cheap to maintain and very reliable. I would reccomend it to everyone except they are fairly hard to find out of japan
