model confusions!
Hi everybody!
I'm new here so gidday to everybody =]
I'm 18 and looking to buy my first car. The only car of choice is the Soarer Sc400. (I'm from Aus., so it will be an imported Toyota Soarer from Japan).
Anway, i'm a bit confused with all the different models and their different lineups. So here are a few questions:
- I know the UZZ32 is the flagship of the v8. I was told the UZZ32 is the only one that comes with air suspension, but i was recently told by someone else that the UZZ31 also comes with air suspension?
- Also, what are the main differences between the UZZ32 and 31, and how much do the sell for (used) in Australia (if anyone here is from Aus.)?
- What are the differences between a V8 4 litre gt-l and a V8 gt-ltd ?
- WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE OWN 1?
Thankyou =]
~Sameer.
P.S. I'm specifically looking at getting the one that is in my signature - please have a look and tell me what you think. It's in $AU.

Here you go:
this information can be found on www.PlanetSoarer.com
That site has a wealth of information, and you can find it very useful
chassis prefix UZZ32 UZZ31 UZZ30 JZZ31 JZZ30
Lexus (export) n/a n/a SC400 SC300 n/a
suspension Active sus. TEMS airbag coils coils coils/TEMS
steer 4 wheel steer 2 wheel 2 wheel 2 wheel 2 wheel
turning circle(m) 9.8 10.8 10.8 10.8 10.8
engine 1UZ-FE V8 4.0 litre 1UZ-FE V8 4.0 litre 1UZ-FE V8 4.0 litre 2JZGE 3.0 litre 1JZ GTE 2.5 litre Twin Turbo
mass (kg) 1730 1640 1590 1540 1560
1991 new price (yen) 7.45 million 5.45 million 4.81 million 3.03 million 3.38 million
power (kW) 191 191 191 165 206
torque (Nm) 353 353 353 284 363
fuel econ (L/100km) 16.7 14.1 14.1 12.3 13.5
Notes:
Only the UZZ30 (SC400) and JZZ31 (SC300) were exported to USA in LHD with analog dials instead of 3D digital dashes. A lot less problems with these dashes .Since these models are the least complicated they should give the best reliability.
The UZZ32 model (mine) is the flagship SOARER with Active Suspension and Active 4ws - heavy but handles and brakes best of the lot.. GPS navigation system for Japan. But it does have a TV, the Active Suspension hydraulic struts can be re-sealed, the handling is measurably better than any other SOARER (says so in Japanese manual), the turning circle is Volvo-like and the suspension test mode is a great party trick. Mine also came with the expensive, rare reversing camera - the colour resolution on the screen is startling.
The UZZ31 has the air cushion Toyota Electronically Modulated Suspension (TEMS). Soft ride, Electro Multi Vision (EMV or TV) screen was an option.
The JZZ30 is the screamer - these twin turbos really get up and go. No leather, no EMV or stuff like that - just a lightweight SOARER with coils and a great engine (1JZ-GTE). Ceramic turbos tend to break if you boost too much. Big power available with few mods
