In my quest to find a fast turbocharged Jap car within my budget (£5k) i've come across another vehicle which has grabbed my fancy - Lexus / Toyota Soarer. The one i've been looking at is a 280 bhp twin turbo'd auto model, with 28k on the clock up for around £4k.

Anyone know much about these cars? I assume they share a lot of the parts from the Supra as I think it's the same 2.5 litre I6 from the MK3 imports. I'm also assuming they're pretty damn fast.

I can get insured on one quite cheaply - not much more than for an MR2 turbo.

Nice looking cars, especially when modded, but the weight lets the handling and performance down a bit. More of a GT than a genuine sports car.

Nice cars, but more performance can be had for £5k.

I really want an FC TII but I can't find one for love nor money :(
