1985 Toyota Supra Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1985 Toyota Supra are particularly fond of its fun driving experience, reliability, and unique styling. Many appreciate the balance between performance and comfort, with highlights being its powerful inline 6 engine and nimble handling. However, some drivers wish for more horsepower and acknowledge that modifications can be a bit challenging due to limited aftermarket support."
With the famous high compression in-line 6 cylinder engine and a manual transmission you can't help but have fun when driving this era supra. While it doesn't have the top-end speed of some more expensive sports cars, it has never mattered to me, the quick acceleration and tight cornering coupled with the P-Type seats make it fun and fast. In 23 years and 130+K miles the car has only let me down once and that was when it was new an electronic component related to the starter died after that NOTHING ever failed.
July 26, 2007I was about 17 years old, when my farther got one of theese, it came in bronzemetallic -with the "black in the middle" wheels. I was stunned, imagine this: I lived in what you would call "Hicskville" where Opel kadets, Citroen 2CV's, WW's beetles and Ford Taunus where rulers... My Granparents bought the first Toyota in 1967 (a british racing green Crown ) Dad got the firts Celica St in 77, then a Corolla DOCH around 82 -and then the Supra! -many years later, I got my hands on a black 85' Supra -with about 200.000 on the odo,took a drive from Denmark to Paris France and back again without a squeak! and I floored it all the way from Normadie in France ( about 19.00 ) and returned the next day around 13.30 in Denmark (CPH) including the odd coffebreak/mens room.
January 9, 2008The 1985 supra was in my opinion, a very behaved and overall good car. Until you put your foot into it, that is. at that point everything becomes relative. This car handles corners with ease. corners labeled 45 mph can easily be taken at 55-60 or more if there is a bank. While the stock power is respectable for an eighties vehicle, it leaves a little to desire. However i got a 20 year old one with 169,000 miles up to the 130 mph end of the speedometer. i dont recommend doing this, as the rpm's in 5th gear were a little over the 6500 redline. But overall, these are well built cars that are extremely well built.

June 19, 2008the performance of this car is amazing considering when it was made and whats under the hood. it has only a 2.8L I-6 that makes roughly 170hp, its RWD, stick shift, and has independent rear suspension. it is a fairly fast car and handles like a dream. also you can get around 18-19 mpg combined city/highway.
August 19, 2009Classic 80's looks with the sexy "Pop Up Headlights". Getting rare now specially in the condition mines in!! Lovely 2.8i Straight 6 engine and you got to love that Digital Dash!! Electric everything, its like being in a planes cockpit!!
March 24, 2008This is a fun car to drive in the summer and spring.
February 6, 20082.8litre straight 6. 0-60 in about 8 seconds (does weigh just shy of 2 tons). Top speed, don't know, although told would cruise at 135mph no bother! Built like a tank. Way ahead of it's time, on-board computer, digital dash, air con, electric everything.
December 10, 2007This car is a very unique 80s car which will have heads turn everytime u pass by people. it has great gas mileage which is extremely important today because of rising gas prices. This car is long lasting, dependable, and just exciting to ride. The only thing i wish could be changed is its power. obviously its not a v8 but more horse power definetly wouldn't hurt!
July 3, 2007this is my third toyota, my first was a gt always wanted a supra now have 2. very satisfying, reliable and fun to drive. i drive my supras daily. even with the minor problems i love this car and would recommend it as a second and/or third car.
September 4, 2007I find the 1985 toyota supra to be a fine example of Japanese craftsmanship. Although it's top end isnt all there, the torque is there to replace it. A great all round car for tight turns, thanks to the independent rear and all round disk brakes. The interior was designed very well. The many diffrent seat adjustments can be set comfortably for any type of driving.I also find the heater to work very well as for the ac. AWsome Ride!!!
