If you can actually get one at a realistic price, dealers are ripping off customers, and it's bad for Toyota and car enthusiasts, because they may not sell as many as they could have....
@@DimSyco depends on where u live,cause u could get a 2020-22 mk5 for base price or like 3-4k more over(tho this depends on it being base vs top trim).
@@DimSycoI got a 2023 manual on order and don’t have to pay any markup. I’m going through the Toyota dealer in Concord, NC just north of Charlotte if you want a dealer that doesn’t do all that mark up stuff. They didn’t even mark up the 2 GR Corollas that came in.
@@madmyro Thank you, I will likely reach out to them! I really appreciate dealers that are not overly greedy. I tried to get one here in Florida, and I could tell they were annoyed and the monthly payment they proposed was outrageous ($1,300). With Toyota supposedly being an affordable brand, I got pretty upset. Most dealers are asking for $10k over, even on the GR86! Anyway, I'm glad there are some good dealerships somewhere!
The MX-5 has the same type of sun visors as the Supra. No living with episode would be complete without a trip to Costco, so well done sir! Really enjoy these living with reviews, keep them coming!
I really really wanted the 2.0 Supra in Nitro Yellow. It’s the perfect yellow for a car, close to Ferrari’s yellow. But man, the cabin is tight and I’m only 5’10”. Not sure I could drive this every day in a 30 minute commute. I’m fairly claustrophobic. And the roof line cutting into the vision at your head makes it worse. I think the GR86 has way more room. But the Supra in yellow is just fantastic looking.
Toyota didn't give us the manual late because of customer complaints... they gave it to us late because BMW didn't let them sell a manual for the first few years on the market. It was a 'paperwork' thing, unfortunately. We were always going to get it in the end. In the rest of the world, manual transmissions are pretty much the standard, we most of us are used to living with a stick on a daily basis. Toyotas are generally easy to daily no matter what shape and spec they come in, it's pretty much what they do best.
I dailyed a manual, commuting between Seattle and Redmond for over 20 years. Alfa 164, Mazda Protege5, MINI Cooper S and finally an ND Miata. It was no problem in any of them.
Guten morgen Motoman. Yes, "too much" sums up the Supra perfectly. Not a terrible sports car, just not for me. With that said, and price no object, for my daily manual (we called them standard transmissions back in the day), I chose a 2023 Camaro 2SS1LE, rapid blue, with the wonderful tremac 6 speed manual transmission. Delivered this past March 10th. What's it like daily driving? Pure joy! I've owned and driven many sports car over the years. The car is near perfection. Almost fully loaded, a hair over $53,000. But, to your disappointment, I did not option the sun roof...LOL! Stay well my friend...
The Camaro is just too claustrophobic for me, haven't been in a Supra yet but it looks almost as bad on video. It's a shame because both are amazing cars.
@@FurkanCemTurfanda Thanks for the reply. Honestly, not clausterphobic at all. I find most drivers feel the need to keep the seats low, especially with a manual transmission, as if your butt is dragging on the pavement. With proper seat height adjustment/position, mirror adjustment, etc., no issues at all. So from first hand ownership, the clausterphobic and poor visibility arguments are false. Regarding rearward visibility, for a sports car, it isn't bad at all. So much so that I haven't even used the rear mirror camera yet in traffic. But comfort levels and driver confidence do vary. It is truly a remarkable car.
Heresy:) That said, as a guy who grew up on GM cars, I am saddened to see Chevrolet giving up on the Pony car again. As in the past, I don't feel they competed aggressively enough with Mustang and Challenger (surprisingly, the sales king in that segment). They could have done a lot to address visibility in a heavy mid cycle refresh and still had a better car than the Mustang. In any event, good choice on your part.
I've had my share of GM cars - no more. After owning Mazdas and a Lexus, I will never go back to GM products again - too many issues over 10+ years. Good luck with yours.
@@davepaturno4290 Thanks. Regardless, it's a remarkable sports car. Whether it's for 10 years, or only 5, I'll continue to cherish all she offers. Lifes too short. If "issues" arise over time, I'll either address them or part ways. Until then, my grin ear to ear remains everytime I fire her up and go for a ride. Yes, it's that good...
I realllllly hope they do a GR PRIUS. Function and fun for daily commuters! Love the design of the Supra, but standing next to it, no being a larger person, it felt claustrophobic.
The gas tank is too small on the F87 M2 as well. I'm not sure if they upped the capacity on the new M2, but on the older ones it's the same size as this supra, with slightly worse economy due to the S55 engine and heavier weight.
Daily a stick? What do you mean? I don't own a vehicle that isn't a stick. My car and two trucks, one for play, one truck for offroad, and the other for horse hauling are all stick.
Not to my knowledge I have a premium MT Supra and it doesn’t have adaptive cruise even with the driver assist package it has lane keeping assist but not adaptive cruise at least in mine I wish it wasn’t the case.
There is no adaptive cruise in the MT to my knowledge even with the driver assist package only in the Auto. Please correct me if I’m wrong but I have 0 options for adaptive cruise in my premium MT Supra I wish it had it.
They needed to cut stuff to save money, all that interior stuff is missing for that reason. A sunglass holder up at the top of the rearview mirror would be nice as well!
I don't get the messing around with steering wheel aesthetics, completely agree with your take on the Supra's. I would say Audi is offering a severe downgrade with their new steering wheel design(s) as well.
I'd love to buy a manual GR Supra, unfortunately they are completely sold out for the next 2yrs where I live... unless of course I am willing to pay $15k over sticker.
Great video. My only question is whether a BMW G8X Platform would benefit from a trans swap with a Supra? I daily drive my manual M3 and enjoy it thoroughly, but I’ve heard multiple outlets say the Toyota feels better despite being the same trans.
@@kimchee411 depends on what you value in a driving experience. I don’t think the car needs more power and I’ve already addressed the sound. I’m willing to try a shifter upgrade first, but historically those are terrible on BMWs. If that holds true and they manual Supra’s gearbox is somewhat available from part suppliers or crashed cars, I’d be willing to give it a go.
@@TheManlnGold you’re right. Looked it up and it’s actually a different part number altogether from the ones in BMW. And that’s before Toyota made any changes.
It's the best manual ever I've ever owned nd I'm not hyping it. I live in Orange County and have had this Supra 6MT for 6 months. My only complaints are the lack of compartment space and small gas tank. It's not a good daily driver, but fun and weekend or 2nd car yes absolutely good choice
MotoMan, did I miss the assessment of the transmission in the video? So is the manual livable in Orange County stop and go traffic? How is the clutch and how are the throws when there's an accident on the 405?
It was there . . . with the exception of the clutch - which is light considering the size of the engine and power of the car. That being the case, very easy to use in stop and go traffic. As mentioned in the episode, the shifter is good. I would like a shorter knob but see why they do it here - also demonstrated in the episode.
@@MotoManTV That's unfortunate. Like everything nowadays - part of a "package." I can still remember being 10 and reading the window sticker on my neighbor's new 1977 Grand Prix and everything it was equipped with being an individual option. My first new car was an 85 GTI. Power steering, AC, sunroof and 4 speaker stereo prep. All individual options. GTI with a sunroof today? Package...
We are 4 years into production of this car, and Although I love my '21', I am so baffled by the ugliness of the steering wheel which looks like a giant dinner plate and a skinny rim. No hint of a sports car steering wheel. The automatic also has one of the strangest and un sporty shift levers. The infotainment is dim (I upgraded mine), the wind buffeting is still there ( also fixed mine) and the exterior vents….. well we all know about them. Couldn’t they make at least some of the 9 function by now? All the issues with interior room I’m fine with, there are expected sacrifices to be made with sports cars, but the other issues are so easy for Toyota to fix after 4 years, but they choose not to acknowledge them. Having said that, I wouldn’t give up mine for many more years, I love unusual outlier cars!😉

Well it's a dying breed right? People should reward the last OEM´s for providing manuals still. With EV´s it will be gone. I love shifting manually - but I have also an EV for daily driving which is relaxing if you are in heavy traffic. It's a dying art how we drive those still. It will be something we also know from classic cars only, like..the model T which is totally different to operate.
You can live with a lot of things, but that would be downright annoying to constantly have to run to a gas pump and only been able to fit in 13 gallons. 9:47
I really wanted to love the Supra but in anything but black, the fake vents are just too much. Where are the restrained Japanese designers from the 90's??? There was so much beauty with those sports cars that's lost in the overwrought nonsense of today's designs.
Looks great on the outside, I was ready to purchase until I got inside and drove it. Claustrophobic and uncomfortable. I’m 5’-10”, 170lbs. I wanted to get out so bad. Ended up purchasing a ZL1. Fit like a glove.
I'm the same exact size and weight. I went with the Supra 6MT. Heard great things about the ZL1. Might keep my eye on those down the line since they are going out of production
@@jareknowak8712 yes, but they are generally reliable cars. I have a cayman of that generation, only a few issues other than regular servicing. most reliable car I have owned and the parts are the same price as bmw, mercedes, audi etc.
This car feels so close to me but a couple of really big annoyances. Rev matching (training wheels) on by default, buffeting, electronic parking brake. apple car play only. I love Toyota, but its a no from me, I'll stick with my Porsche.
13 gallon gas tank? thats incredibly small... the only other car ive seen with a tank like that is my gf's ford focus 2003... she's always thinking ur gas mileage is no so good cuz she has to fill up often and range is mot good... well Thats why! LOL
Let's not forgot... the manual Supra is also lacking active cruise control. There is no excuse why it shouldn't as my 2020 6spd VW GTI has this feature. So many car companies are missing the mark and then you gotta deal with lack of inventory.
Hi Palindr0m3, Also, a big disappointment is that the newer and more expensive BMW M2 manual does not have adaptive cruise control, only standard cruise control. Whilst a huge surprise (in a good way) is that Nissan does provide ACC with their manual Z. Nissan can provide, but yet Toyota/BMW cannot. As you say, there is no excuse.
I have active cruise in my Mazda 3. If I get the i6 Supra, it will have active cruise. It really comes in handy as long as it I'd reliable. My Mazda 3 has been rock steady-reliable after 9 years.
One end may be on the fact that they barely bring that many/make that many as is that there's no point in doing it really or, they don't wanna steal the sales off the manual 4 banger Z4(this more or less is a prediction but at the same time it's not like bmw even acknowledges that the Z4 exists in their line up).
I wish this was a BMW coupe license built by Toyota...instead of a BMW with a Toyota badge. Which means fun for the time being but crud reliability long term.
Not so the B58 is a solid motor and this simply isn’t true especially in the case of the MT Supra it’s been very well cared for by Toyota engineers designing the MT gearbox flawlessly IMO it’s one of the best Manual gearboxes I’ve ever driven and I’ve been behind the wheel of many adversaries.
I do too, but shooting there is logistically more difficult and frankly, didn't drive enough views to justify the extra work. Yes, we will still shoot some episodes there but not all cars. Appreciate you sharing.
I just appreciate that a manufacturer offers a manual RWD sports car at a realistic price. 👌

Hi why does all supra boards all twinkle
You got to change the horn 🤔 you need to put the tundra horn 🎺🤣🤣🤣
The ZF 8 speed is faster and better than a manual, so why bother with such an archaic device as a manual transmission?
Your sentiments echo mine after my test drive. I wanted a fun DD and chose a Giulia over it, the 3 series, and CT4V
I have a 2023 Supra 6MT. It is NOT a daily driver and you made the right choice. It's my weekend fun car, but I would never daily this car

Depends on what I am trying to accomplish . . . Have never tried in any of our test Supras before so wanted to try a loop on regular.

The storage issue is incredibly annoying! They couldn't put 3 or 4 nets into this thing? I own one of these. Too much BMW, not enough Toyota!
I wish this was a BMW coupe license built by Toyota...instead of a BMW with a Toyota badge. Which means fun for the time being but crud reliability long term.
Can't argue with that math:)
Not so the B58 is a solid motor and this simply isn’t true especially in the case of the MT Supra it’s been very well cared for by Toyota engineers designing the MT gearbox flawlessly IMO it’s one of the best Manual gearboxes I’ve ever driven and I’ve been behind the wheel of many adversaries.
Typical BMW driver, taking forever at the CostCo gas pump.
Miss the hangar.
I do too, but shooting there is logistically more difficult and frankly, didn't drive enough views to justify the extra work. Yes, we will still shoot some episodes there but not all cars. Appreciate you sharing.
you are done with fueling, get out of the way people are waiting.
Costco gas. Well done
breh imagine being the driver behind him. Out of all places he decided to record there, lowkey cringe but good car.
