The Toyota Sera is an unusual car -- and today I'm reviewing the Sera to show you what makes it so weird. I'm going to take you on a tour of this Toyota Sera, and I'm going to show you all of its quirks and features -- and then I'm driving the Sera to show you what it's like to get out on the road.

There's no actual way to turn the "Funky Mode" on, the car detects your inner funk level and makes adjustments accordingly. Doug is not currently funky enough to initiate full Funky Mode. But he can always increase his funk level at a later date.

@fauzanriez9472 5 жыл бұрын

Other than Mazda mx3 and Nissan nx100, Doug can also try to get his hands on cars like Toyota WiLL and Toyota Paseo. Toyota iQ. But what's more important is for Doug to look at what other car manufacturers were offering in the 1990 especially the American brands. Let's not forget in 1990 among other great cars Toyota produced were the 1st model Previa/Estima minivan, the first generation of Lexus LS400 and also the world rally champion Celica GT4. Again, we have to look at what other cars sold during that time to realise how advanced and special these cars were. Other Toyota models that Doug maybe never saw include Toyota Corolla Levin of the 1990s which had a combo of supercharged engine with 4 throttle bodies, 5 valves per cylinder and 6 speed manual transmission and Toyota Caldina GT4. For a start, Doug can google or watch videos in KZfaq.

The SLSS came with a three mode Digital Sound Processor (DSP) which cycled through 'off', 'Casual' or 'Funky' mode by use of a button labelled "WARP" on the CD/Radio or CD/Radio/Cassette head unit. These produced slight differences in sound quality through preset values for settings such as bass and treble, as well as rotating the speakers in the rear unit to either project directly into the car or bounce off the rear window. A complete and functional SLSS is one of the most highly sought after options by Toyota Sera enthusiasts, but by being factory fit is quite hard to retro-fit.

SirLovesALott I’m sorry, as much as I would love the revival of Toyota the 86 is actually a Subaru and the Supra is actually a Z4. We’ve yet to see a pure Toyota sports car. I just don’t think Toyota has the same passion for sports cars as it once did. Though there’s no doubt the two cars are excellent drivers cars

The SLSS system also incorporates an amplifier with a central channel, plus a Digital Sound Processor (DSP) which has three modes - off, Casual mode and Funky Mode. These different modes provide a slight differences in the sound qualities, and also the rear deck speaker rotates from reflecting the sound from the rear hatch glass incasual mode to pointing directly towards the passenger when in funky mode. The DSP modes are controlled by a "WARP" button on the head unit. The CD has random, scan and repeat modes, the radio has 6 presets on both FM and AM bands and the cassette mechanism has Dolby and track search facilities When the car was new you could purchase the SLSS system with either a single height CD / Radio or a dual height CD / Radio / Cassette.

If you think that's crazy there's a very rare speaker that was a Japan only product. It was a rear deck speaker just like this SLSS system but aftermarket. It's the Pioneer TSX-90 which is extremely hard to find any info on. All I really know about them is that they exist and sometimes show up for sale on Yahoo Auctions. Not sure if there's any in the US. It had electronically adjustable speaker height so part of the speaker would rise up 2 or so inches! Here's a video of it in action, its amazingly pointless which makes it amazing cool lol: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h8uJgJSk16uyeWg.html

That's surprisingly cheap. My father had a 1991 Mazda 929, Mazda's attempt at an ultra-luxury saloon, it's sunroof had an inbuilt solar panel which trickle fed the car battery but primarily powered vents & exhaust fans to keep the cabin 'cool' when parked. Remember back in 1991 that was nuts. Anyhow there was a massive hailstorm with Hail up to the size of tennis balls, one piece happened to crack the sunroof. Luckily the car was comprehensively insured. The replacement cost for the solar powered sunroof ALONE was $9500, and that was in the 1990's... $9500...

Hi Doug-I'm just repeating my request for a review of the Mark 1 Audi TT (the V6). I had many hours of sublime driving pleasure with one and it could also hold a surprising amount of cargo. I could fit my bicycle in it if I took off the removable front wheel. I enjoy your reviews and would like to see your impression of it. I'm only six feet tall so you would probably find the headroom a bit of an issue. p.s.: I think the idea behind removing the deck lid cover is so you can take it off the hinges and move it out of the way to the side without disconnecting the rear speaker.

@Wiggy321 5 жыл бұрын

Hey Doug this car was called the Sera Live Sound for a reason. Toyota designed it that way for the acoustic experience. It wasn't meant to be a hot hatch. It also wasn't associated with the MR2. It was built on the Cynos, Corsa and Starlet chassis. In America that chassis was used in the Toyota Tercel and Paseo. So mechanically, they have the same parts. The Starlet Gt engine can also be swapped into it or the engine internals (I think it's the pistons) and turbo system.

I mean... quirks and features, right?? One of the weirdest cars you've reviewed and you missed some of the cool and interesting things about it. Still a fan!
