2 Years of Ownership Update! LONG TERM MK5 Supra Review!

[@danepoitra9146]

Thanks for this kind of review. So many of these reviews are just initial impressions that really don’t mean much. I’m buying one, but I’m waiting for the manual to drop. I’ll definitely be looking at more of your stuff.

[@nickchaconas]

Awesome! I’m glad you liked the review. You’re going to love the car

[@frankiebpr]

Hi! I own a 2022 CF Edition and would like to know if you finally did away with the wind buffeting issue. If you have? What product worked well. Thanks Frank Puerto Rico

[@manfredstrappen7491]

“Zero issues, the only issue is the transmission is slipping”, leather seats aren’t holding up, etc. Those are called “issues”.

[@vsonic86]

Dude thank you for beginning honest with your experience man.

[@brandonsodomick6250]

I pick up my 2024 Supra next week, so looking forward to it.

[@Jaico2024trd]

Transmission issue at 16k miles?! Thats a major issue.

[@mk5jonsh]

Love it man! Already have 11000km on my 22 supra, such a blast to drive cant wait till its easier to tune it.

[@xRenegade_999]

Bro you mind if I ask how much of a down payment you made on your 2022? And credit score? I’m really trying to buy one this year and I’m wondering where I need to be at to where my monthly bill isn’t ripping my asshole wide lol

[@westcoastplinkin6559]

@@xRenegade_999 30K downpayment, 750 credit score. My advice is if you don't have the entire lump sum, don't buy it. The insurance and monthly payment will be a lot unless you're making high six figures (I make low six figures).

[@emmanuelgutierrez8725]

Any problems with the engine yet? Has it been reliable?

[@AyGrip]

“Shiny” leather is your body oils. You should regularly clean and condition leather seats. Sonax is a good brand to use

[@nickchaconas]

Nice. I’ll give it a try

[@axelrod311]

Beautiful ride, great video! What gas mileage are you getting? I'm thinking of getting a Supra myself

[@nickchaconas]

Thank you! I will have to check and see…since I did the big turbo I haven’t been checking because I’ve been driving harder. Before that I was able to get close to 30-32mpg in normal mode 8th gear just highway cruising at 1600rpm. It sips fuel.

[@touayaaj84]

18-20 city (sport mode) and 20-24 (normal). I get about 32-36mpg on the hwy. it’s a great platform. The Z gets horrible mpg. 😂

[@raffydelfin1956]

Get one bro it’s a lot of fun driving the supra trust me ur not going to regret.

[@keokih]

2 years, 40k on my ‘21. No issues. Traded for an M240i.

[@nickchaconas]

Awesome! Love to hear it.

[@MrOmar0021]

Well, I guess next year might be time to pull the trigger on that Manual Transmission Supra 🙏🏼

[@OvernightCrew]

ty for the honest review, i have a 2015 WRX on flex fuel and although it hasn't given me any issues, i know the FA20 isn't the most reliable engine. Also, do you need a retune for every single upgrade you do?

[@Filip_Switch]

Good video, exactly what i was looking for. And your build also really suits my taste so i have to tell you that xD Beautiful!

[@nickchaconas]

Appreciate it!

[@hi7man5]

I had 50k miles on my 2021 Supra before I sold it. I never had a single issue with it. I bought a GR86 and already have 24k miles on this car now lol.

[@LateNightDateNight]

What’s your preference between the two vehicles in terms of fun factor?

[@hi7man5]

@@LateNightDateNight 86 by far. The Supra was cool. The 86 is fun. The Supra is still a great car, would love to own both if I could but would chose the 86 over it honestly. No regrets making the switch.

[@nickchaconas]

Awesome. That is great to hear!

[@TheRandyns]

@@hi7man5 im trying to make the decision on which to buy. The Supras so bad ass but the 86 is the 86!!!

[@hi7man5]

@@TheRandyns if you’re more of a driver than get an 86. If you’re more into straight line power and wanting an eye catching car then get a Supra. That’s my advice. The 86 is for the enjoyment of driving and the Supra is a jack of all trades master of none kinda car that is just nice to have. Don’t get me wrong, the Supra is still a cool car, just comes down to what you like. It also cost twice as much as the 86.

[@michaelraffi5122]

Thanks for the review brotha. Looking at this or a new Z. Might wait for the manual Supra to come out before making my final decision.

[@nickchaconas]

Appreciate the love! Both will be great cars, I am more bias to the Supra though. Left Audi for the Supra…the B58 is just so good.

[@michaelraffi5122]

@@nickchaconas Coming from a G37 IPL, so I have faint love for the new Z. Really good to know that the Supra is incredibly mod friendly and still reliable! Plus looks wise the Supra wins and exhaust wise as well. Not a big fan of the exhaust sound from the 3.0T in the Z.

[@TheIcybus]

Great video with an honest review

[@rave6294]

Awesome video, I’ve been lookin for something like this instead of “BMw mAKes bAD CaRs” thing

[@nickchaconas]

The Supra is a great car. Very solid and can handle a lot of power reliably

[@aaronrodriguez1410]

Whoever said bmw makes bad cars are idiots

[@raymondhu23]

I’m think about buying a matte grey Supra. Did you put any ppf on the paint? I’m afraid the paint is fragile. Thank you.

[@denbittre]

Get the xHP tune and the slip is gone. Love the car!

[@nickchaconas]

I’ll have to try it

[@johnyaskoweak5731]

to your final comments,and a great review...it isnt a crime to own a nice car regardless of where you vacate too,if youre NOT doing anything wrong,and the "cops" dont like it,they can hold it in their ass frankly,and resign to other employment,because on the flip side,"cops" can not target ppl/civillians either,goes both ways,dont hide that car be proud of that car.

[@Swaangin]

Appreciate this video but I feel like it really doesn't justify anything. As soon as I heard "16,000 miles"...? That's still a brand new car. The car isn't that old but people should make reliability videos of 30-50K+ miles, that's when these BMWs start to show their true colors.

[@nickchaconas]

I’ll make more as the miles climb

[@Swaangin]

@@nickchaconas Earned a sub for that.

[@konig209]

Thats what i thought at first. I feel like making a vid myself on mine. Im at 50,000 miles in 1.5 years.

[@universalg_]

@@Swaangin my b58 is at 48k miles tuned with DAW v2.5 turbo and i havent had any issues other than signs of vcg leakage. dried oil spots

[@jamestgilkey75]

What kind of hp is it making? Just asking because I seen several people say the Trans slippage doesn’t happen till about 700hp

[@slow_fk8]

Only 16k miles on the odometer

[@Yggdrasill8]

Just got mine, Gr3.0Red had it for three months now and wondering about how long I should keep this car

[@PatsGarageOnline]

Sweet ride! Glad I get to see it in person from time to time.

[@nickchaconas]

Now you need another ride!

[@beastlaser9611]

Now with the 21 models -22 you can unlock ECU.

[@Pokka676]

The seat’s aren’t genuine leather. They’re synthetic leather.

[@thatcarguy1768]

badass supra, i need one!!!!

[@chrisphan9669]

is it hard to see blind spots in the supra ? i heard that it’s rlly hard to see

[@nickchaconas]

Not the best but not horrible. Blind spot monitoring system helps with that

[@mrblackbond]

Are all 2020 ECU’s unlocked or how do you know if it’s unlocked ?

[@nickchaconas]

If the ecu has a pre 6/20 build date than it can be unlocked. If not then it has to be cloned

[@rush8044]

Is the color turbulence grey?

[@nickchaconas]

Phantom Grey

[@SantosCovarrubias]

I thought the 2021 ECU was now unlocked?…

[@nickchaconas]

Not exactly, the 2021-2022 ECU’s can be shipped overseas and be cloned to another ECU that then can be unlocked. So you have to source an older unlockable ECU and copy and paste data from the new ECU over. It’s not as straight forward as the 2020/ early 2021 ECUs. Also more expensive to clone the ECU

[@tempeztad]

is the transmission issue is due to power the engine is producing now?

[@nickchaconas]

Yeah. Mainly torque

[@vashx47]

Any issues with smog for the car since it's tuned?

[@nickchaconas]

Haven’t had to take it to emissions yet. But it should pass from what I hear

[@vashx47]

@@nickchaconas give me an update on that plz if u can thanks for the reply and ur videos are very clean and clear good quality

@@vashx47 thanks bro! Will do

[@BimmerMk5]

Do you have XHP transmission tune?

[@nickchaconas]

No

[@t-lo3707]

Is it good for the winter?

[@nickchaconas]

Not really. I haven’t tried. With a tire I’m sure it would be

[@AaronEbright]

I would never buy a car without an oil dip stick!

[@Muddy.Teabagger]

no problems apart from the trans slipping, so you did have problems then lol and on a 2 year old cars with 16k miles that's not a good thing at all. its like the phones ads on Facebook "works fine not a thing wrong with it apart from the broken screen"

[@nickchaconas]

That’s only because I was pushing 700wtq which I knew would make the trans slip. Dialed the torque back to 650 and it’s fine. Stock transmission’s on the MK5’s hold 650wtq all day

[@Muddy.Teabagger]

@@nickchaconas well at least you know why it's doing it and how to fix it.

[@brasileiroloko5375]

im my country the mk5 is cheaper than the mk4 for some reason, crazy shiet

[@nickchaconas]

I think that’s the case in most countries right now. In the US a clean MK4 goes for almost $100k or over

[@justicesegat391]

Where’d you order the steering wheel from ?

[@nickchaconas]

East Coast Supra

[@GT-RTData9]

Ever have any issues with throttle hesitation?

[@nickchaconas]

Actually yes, once. Back when it was just DP and tune. It was really weird. It was like a delay in acceleration for a second or two…but I’ve never had it happen again so idk why it happened

[@carguy...]

Great video but no offense 2 years and 16000 miles the world's worst car isn't even broken in yet so this is hardly a long term review!!! Again it's only the miles you have on it but I would rather see 4 or 5 years and 70000 miles to see if a car is actually reliable not when it's still almost new.

[@nickchaconas]

There is a guy on the forums with almost 80k on his 2020. Completely stock, regular maintenance ab no issues.

[@victorchea7671]

Seats probably got shinier when you've been farting on it. Gas may evaporate but certain gas, such as human gas, when hitting a surface can turn into liquid. Time to get that leather cleaned and reconditioned buddy 😂

[@nickchaconas]

Lmao!

[@Dragon228833]

😂😂😂

[@joeblow4795]

Panel gaps a BMW thing? You should take it to the dealer and let them align it. Shouldn't come from the factory like that. Unless, of course, BMW neglected it for Toyota.

[@nickchaconas]

It’s just how the MK5 is from factory. I heard it’s common with BMW’s 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@brolyvi1211]

Panels gaps on mustans too. If you send the car to the dealer who knows which shop they send it to lol. No thanks.

[@joeblow4795]

@@nickchaconas It's quite amusing that it's great that it's a Toyota. But if there's an issue, it's because BMW built it.

along side the 2j?..................................how dare you...........nothing will ever beat the 2j............long live the cast iron block

Cast iron block is hard to beat…but I see why they went to aluminum to cut weight. Regardless 2JZ and B58 are both great engines
