MANUAL Toyota GR Supra - Getting what you wanted - Test Drive | Everyday Driver

It's finally here, the Manual Transmission Supra we all asked for. But we worried that the feel of the manual might let us down. A drive on a backroad and the track allow us to really see if this has been worth the wait.

[@joeracer302]

Toyota has some of the most egregious dealers that stack on absurd markup (as a %), and there are also ones that are happy to take a few hundred and let you sit on a list with hundreds of others when they know they’re only getting a few dozen allocations for the year. If you have to buy a car now it is what it is, try to find a deal for current market, but if you already have something fun and can wait I wouldn’t even bother for 2-3 years. Maybe just spend some $ on some upgrades or going on a road trip. Buying new cars right now should only be done under actual necessity or if you are high earner/independently wealthy and the $ doesn’t hurt or matter to you, but you know what they say, you don’t get rich by spending money (at sleazy dealers, ADAB).

The Supra is perfect in many ways despite what the internet says. It's a knock out in the performance department. If there's only one big improvement this car needs is to address the buffeting when driving with the windows down or offer a removable top like the MKIV Supra.

To get a gr86 to the same speed, comfort of the supra plus paying for style in the gr86, it looks like supra is the superior if you talk about pricing and what your getting and in for gr86 what more you will need to spend to be a true competitor against its big brother

[@DJMotoVlogs]

Honestly, Toyota needs to hold their dealers accountable and stop the ADMs. It's going to hurt Toyota and sales. Force them to sell these at MSRP and more ppl will put deposits and buy them. The auto Supra is pretty popular at least in NYC. I see them quite often so ppl do like them.

[@korrosiv3]

Why would they? I’d love for these cars to be retail price just as much as the next guy trust me. But if they’re constantly selling out for 8-10k above msrp it would just be bad business put an artificial market cap on the price

[@Kamukix]

@@korrosiv3 Toyota doesn't get any of the markup money, once they've sold to the dealer that's the 'end' of their transaction. So it does hurt Toyota because they put out a product that then won't sell but not because of demand, but because the price becomes artificially higher than the buyers they were trying to get unfortunately. There will absolutely be people who buy over msrp anyhow though. (unless you meant why would the DEALER not sell above msrp, that's a totally different question)

[@davidsucks922]

They can't force dealers to sell at ADM, but I agree something needs to be done. They need to track dealers that add ADM to high demand models and stop sending those to them. Punish them by flooding them with Corollas and Camrys instead. Problem with ADM in this market is it doesn't hurt sales because every car competing with the Supra is marked up too, or is a long long wait

[@stms4411]

It’s capitalism….you can’t blame the dealers for making all they can. And price fixing is illegal in the US

[@davidsucks922]

@@stms4411 True, but doesn't mean it doesn't hurt manufacturers. ADM killed the Focus RS, Pontiac GTO, almost did the same for the Civic Type R first gen too. ADM on the EV6 and Ioniq5 is turning buyers into Teslas and Polestars while Kia and Hyundai are trying to gain a foothold in the EV market. Can't blame the dealers for being shortsighted but doesn't mean manufacturers should just sit back and watch it happen, it hurts them too. Dodge withheld Hellcats to dealers adding ADM and as a result you actually see them around a lot, no reason Toyota or any other manufacturer can't do the same

[@62Sketch]

I'm one of those that hated on the Supra and gushed over the Z. Pains me to have to admit that the Supra just smacks the Zs arse all day long performance wise.

[@62Sketch]

[@CarStory]

I think I'm done trying to buy from dealerships. They are completely out of control with markups. I called a Nissan dealer to ask the price of a Proto Spec Z that was in their showroom and they replied "we are taking offers" like it was a house or something. So they are taking offers on a car that has a $52,990 MSRP. They can keep it as far as I'm concerned.

[@lorenswag_]

Fr Fr, I live in Puerto Rico and taxes for cars are crazy expensive. An GR 86 is valued at $40K-$50K MSRP 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@raiqulikesyou]

"It just does," is the exact statement that explains why I want an MT Supra. The SS 1LE is amazing and the Nissan Z has no real world reputation, though, neither are flagship cars for their brand. In comparison, the MT Supra with BMW tech and revised by Toyota for better feel and reliability is the most curated package of all it's competitors.

[@joetz1]

If you believe the surveys consumer reports compiled, this car is actually reasonably reliable too. I know it kills the traditional JDM fanboys to admit it, but it’s actually a very good car

[@raiqulikesyou]

@@joetz1 Exactly. And Toyota knew this. The B58 paired with a ZF8hp is a crazy reliable pair for the output it’s capable of. If/ when something does go wrong, it’ll also be cheaper thanks to shared components bringing the cost down of both the vehicle and it’s replacement parts.

[@brandonjames1606]

I put my money where my mouth is in '20 and bought one. I got a crazy deal at the time and absolutely love the car. However, if I could find a dealer that would sell me an MT edition for MSRP I would trade mine in without hesitation. Unfortunately $15-$20k markups will be common, which will ultimately kill this car.

I am so glad there are still companies that care about the enthusiasts, Toyota is a hell of a company. And they've got massive balls for putting a manual in this thing in the age of cars driving themselves. It shows they still give a shit

[@StandingUpForBetter]

Amazing! With this Supra, the New Nissan Z, the upcoming GR Corolla, the GR 86 and of coarse the Mazda Miata and Honda Civic Type R, we have some of the best, attainable, manual transmission sports cars ever made. It is sad these cars are going away but I am so glad these cars are here now. Actually pretty amazing is the fact that many of these cars are Toyotas. A driving enthusiast would be foolish to pass on any one of these cars if he or she had the opportunity to buy one before they are gone. Thanks again for the review. This manual GR Supra is on my short list. Now a 6 speed manual Camry TRD or even a "GR" Camry would make for an interesting proposition if Toyota wanted to add a 4th car to its already outstanding 3 car manual line up. Keep up the great work.

[@FLBoyCanScrap]

Nissan Z forced Toyota's hand which is great, but I still want to see the manual take rate on both through the generation. Enthusiasts love manuals but enthusiasts don't buy new cars, especially new cars about $50K. What enthusiasts really love is to complain while not contributing to the market. Just take a look at the Corvette manual take rates over the last few generations followed by the enthusiast backlash to the auto only C8.

[@LLG47]

Yeah but the Corvette is an older generation dream car and the Supra is chiefly a millennials dream car and they're starting to come into money

[@FLBoyCanScrap]

@@LLG47 You are confused. The Corvette is a dream car to all generations. It never went out of production and is always a super bargain. The amount of people with money that are car enthusiasts are rare and they would have rather spend 60K heavily modifying a Honda S2000 than buy a new midrange sports car. So you are left with a small number of reasonable car enthusiasts but mostly people wanting a sports car for appearances only of which will likely choose competitors over the Supra and wont consider a manual at all.

[@LLG47]

@@FLBoyCanScrap I'm aware of all that but I'd wager to bet that the average age of the Corvette is older than that of the Supra.

[@FLBoyCanScrap]

@@LLG47 Depends on which Corvette. C5 is full of high schoolers now. Also the C8 dominates the Supra in sales. You overestimate how many younger people can responsibly buy $50K+ cars and will do so over putting there money into real estate, investments, or vacations first. Car first people are rarer than you think, and as I said the Supra has a ton of competition and many drawbacks.

[@JacesOwnWorld]

Maybe your right, but if you are, then why haven’t companies just made automatics only from decades now? Manual cars haven’t sold better than automatics for decades. Your philosophical argument doesn’t only apply to current sports cars. So why the need for manuals anyways anymore? Hell, why the need for ICE vehicles anymore too? Most EV’s are faster right?…

I'd love to see a street and track comparison with this MT Supra, the MT Z, and a Camaro 2SS 1LE MT. Unfortunately Z didn't give what I wanted, it's not a sports car, more of a floaty GT. The Supra is uncomfortable because I'm taller too, and Toyota took too long to get this to market and I bought myself that 22 2SS 1LE 6M. You could sneak a Mustang GT:PP too. But they're the last "affordable" sports/muscle cars with Manual Transmissions.

[@al151]

I am on the same boat. Got a 22 2ss 1le in satin steel. Manual. Its summer only and occasional track car. I take it to work and even carry my daughter to and back from daycare. It has been an amazing car. I had to have the back seat otherwise this manual supra is very tempting or waiting patiently and getting a c8 vette.

@@al151 how is the back seat? Also, the steering road feel. May I ask how much you paid. I have a jid in daycare and considering the 1le or Corolla GR. Visibility of the Camaro is a bit of a concern for my kid (he likes looking out) otherwise I'd have one today. Supra won't work with a kid for me.

[@jrzez]

@@al151 Great choice! I take my little guy to Pre-K in mine as well! Would a 4-door be easier? Sure. but then it's not a 2-door coupe with those sweet lines. After years of 4-door sedans/hatches/SUVs, it was time to go back to my roots. And I love the car. I'll daily it "most months" out of the year, though we get some bad winters here and it'll be keep away from that.

[@jrzez]

@@sunnyvalentino Steering feel is good for electric, and you can decouple steering settings from the mode you're in, so want Tour steering in Track for the rest? You can do it. You can put the car into Track mode for more precise throttle, touring steering for lower weight and better feedback/feel, and exhaust into sport if you wanted. Good stuff. And then there's a lot more useful modes buried in there too. I wasn't sold on E-diffs until driving this. I paid sticker for mine, which was $52k as it's a 2SS 1LE w/sunroof and some other add ons like Strut-tower brace (cool) and black anodized lugs/locks (I was fine with these). Amazing car. Astounded this is a Camaro. It cruises so well, the suspension is so well damped while the chassis is crazy stiff. Turn off the stability control and go into competitive modes, wow in the turns.

[@gravityhammer25]

Have you guys ever tested a Mini Cooper JCW GP3? It is an automatic, however I found mine to be a quirky fun hot hatch. I'm coming from a tuned Type R FK8 and the Mini is everything I wanted and more. Not as stable as my CTR was, but more thrilling. With the B48 turbocharged engine the Mini has something in common with the Supra, the 4cyl B48 is part of a modular BMW engine family along with the 6cyl B58. The Mini B48 also features a reinforced crankshaft with larger main bearings and new pistons with a lower 9.5:1 compression ratio. This allows the engine to handle more boost. I have not driven a Supra but after feeling the B48 in the Mini I'm sure I would love it, these BMW turbo engines just make great smooth reliable power and my Mini has the capability to get mpg of 24 city 30 highway if I don't keep my foot in the gas all the time. My main reason for going with the Mini GP3 is that I wanted a fwd hot hatch that could perform on a level similar to my Type R but I did not want another Type R.

I had replaced an engine in a 2015 335xi a few months back with the 6spd manual,it was the only one I had ever driven with the 3.0 and manuala combo.I have worked on many 2.0 and 3.0 cars mainly timing chain jobs but a handful of complete engine replacements as well. This particular car was a very nice car and I was anxious to drive it after the new engine and clutch install,after the job was complete I did drive the car for about a week before delivery as it was a $15k job and we don't want a come back for even the smallest issue. But to my point,after driving numerous automatic BMW products and then finally driving the 3.0 manual I can tell you in my opinion the manual hurt the car,the automatic is a fine transmission and well matched to the cars performance,the manual(at least in this particular car) was just more of a burden than it was anything else,the car felt slower and just felt wrong in the car. Again just my opinion but I would take the auto all day over the manual at least in that application,which is very similar to the Supra. Have there been any acceleration numbers yet? I would not be surprised to see it is slower than the automatic car,and yes I know there is much more to it than just 0-60 times,but for me that is a bog factor.

[@BWM135]

We are trying to buy one. Dealership are keeping us from doing that. I can't find a place to buy it at MSRP or even close. They are being marked up 20 30k

[@pigeonsil240sx]

the internet was mad when it was introduced because they showed us the ft-1 concept as being the new supra.this right here gave extremely high expectations so when supra was released it looked like a wish version of ft-1. if they didnt do this and it had a manual option from begining it would had been a hit,and a epic hit if the vents were functional and they didnt add the engine sound through audio.

[@systemerror4781]

Woulda just loved a Targo top version too :(

[@jimiverson3085]

Now if they could have someone with working vision rework the styling. I've gotten used to the front, but the clashing lines and fake creases on the side are just a mess.

[@JulietActual]

The thing that sucks now is though they don't sell to non locals if you were to find a deal somewhere else. Depending on the dealership that is. So calling around would be a headache. Goodluck to future owners. If you're under 100 miles you might get a shot.

[@brandonlewis9324]

FINALLLLLLLLY!!! Now it's time to head to Toyota dealership.

[@Snafu2346]

I've got nothing against the Supra, looks like a great car. What I have against is the stealerships that are now marking this car up $50,000-$70,000 above sticker. Its over $100,000 at most stealerships. The Mak Haik Nissan here in Houston wants $130,000 for the Nissan 400Z

[@mmadchef808]

You what they say….there is a seat for every a**.

[@Pharaoh_The_Great]

GTAV prices 😂

[@threadoflife]

Yep good luck finding one

[@katrinagwen]

I'm #2 on the list at my local Toyota dealer, submitted half a year ago but still waiting for the allocation.

[@threadoflife]

Yep good luck the dealers are buying them as well if they are high up I’m dealing with that at my local dealer it’s hell!

[@katrinagwen]

@@threadoflife I actually got my allocation and it delivered to dealer in Feb 2023 (about 10 months total wait time), but I backed out and received my deposit back in full (I have pretty good relationship w/ my Toyota dealer). Instead, I got an allocation and took home the 2023 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 in Python Green this past May. Very happy with my decision. Oddly enough, I bought a 2024 BMW M240i 2 weeks ago to replace my 2019 Civic Type R as my daily (we have winters). It has the same B58 engine and ended up with the same color specs, in Brooklyn Grey exterior and Tacora Red interior, as the Supra I initially ordered. I purposely didn't spec it that way but it's what BMW had in their showroom, so no allocation/build wait times for me fortunately. Happy with that purchase too, looks more under the radar. But the M240i has backseats and X-Drive for AWD, so still more functional than the Supra for daily driving. Regardless, nothing can really replace the Supra within the price point. If you put in your order this year, your dealer probably won't start getting them delivered until Feb-Apr 2024. So hopefully you get through all the obstacles and take home your Supra!

[@anthonykiedis1765]

Those new wheels are gorgeous. Can't tell if they are black or gunmetal. They kind of look like both depending on the lighting.

[@deej628]

Matte gray

[@kize32]

This car is a rare sight in Europe, considering they're made in Austria. Don't believe I've seen one yet

[@robred123s]

Hard to decide. Before the Corolla, this is what I wanted. Now there's a choice, especially since I already have an 86, so rwd is covered.

[@thechad1708]

You’re not the only one. I got tired of waiting for the manual Supra and got the 86. The GRC is next… Supra will have to wait.

[@stms4411]

Had an m235i and got rid of it (in favor of a 981 boxster s…..BMWs make great motors but everything seems to weigh 3500lbs….this Supra is 100lbs lighter, but my boxster is 500lbs lighter still. Never mind the power-to-weight ratio - I don’t want my sports car to drive big or heavy. This is probably fun…..would be way more fun if it went on a diet.

[@Trio3224]

Have they fixed the loud wind buffeting sound with the windows down? That's really the last deal breaker for me

[@aroundomaha]

The chicane is nothing but cones? Hahaha time to go bowling! I can't wait until you can unleash the Corolla coverage (in what universe did we ever thing that would be said?)

[@ukyo2010]

My kids gave me a 3 day rental of a 2020 Supra for my birthday last year. It was certainly my best b-day present ever. The Supra was a lot of fun to drive. However, the aesthetic design rubs me the wrong way. Were it not for the aesthetic design, I would buy a Supra.

[@lw1878]

I hope as much as the internet complained, they go out and buy a manual A90 and not prove Toyota right about offering the auto initially. The Z is a swing and miss so here's a better new option.

[@Hopscotchlemonadespritz]

Hearing elsewhere that the fake vents were meant to give the aftermarket a built-in template to work from, it shows how misunderstood this car and immature its timeline remains. While the short wheelbase fails to recapture the stunning show car's exotic proportions and inspiration, it's still a sporty li'l bullet of a thing. Looks better in person. I would most revise both it & The Z from the back of the headlights forward. The track-inspired nose has been perfectly stunted. The Z's headlights have an awkward backward glance, a hangover from the industry's neo-retro trend 20 yrs ago.

[@pushslice]

That funny dude over at Haggerty insinuated in his vid this past week that BMW gave Toyota a lower-spec version of the B58 for the supra, and that the B58 equipped BMWs are putting out even more power e.g. M240i I wonder if you guys believe this take?

[@threadoflife]

Not true

[@letsgobrandon416]

Never wanted the Supra as a 2 seat. Was really hoping it would remain a 2+2.

I would add the M4 carbon bucket seats!

[@christopherbassit2757]

Loving my gr corolla

[@J.D.Vision]

Now they just need to make it a convertible as icing on the cake, with the cherry 🍒 on top.

[@idokwatcher2062]

"Getting what you wanted" after a pandemic and a massive war. Gee so nice of them.

[@dzynguy]

so, it looks like if you have a drink in those holders, you'd be constantly knocking it when shifting?

[@benjmin1542]

Legend😮😮😮🙌

[@MyPantsAreOhSoFancy]

HAHA I don't think I've ever watched a review on the supra where people didn't make weird grunts and other noises when getting in and out of it. Kudos to Toyota for finally giving people what they have been screaming for.

[@Briguy288]

Wait, how did you guys get the manual supra out here and not on their test track like everyone else? lol

[@litespeed65]

The only Toyota I’d ever consider…

[@bradalexander6252]

Good show

[@thomasdowney3688]

Welp, time for me to buy one!!

[@kpatt2006]

Can the supra be driven with the windows down now?

[@spy2sa54]

I just subscribed🙂

[@TestDriveVideos]

Thank you. Glad to have you with us!

[@markburke2414]

Sounds like it has a bit of rev hang??

[@TexasRiverRat31254]

I'm not surprised by the comment about Cayman like rotation. For the final price of this after dealer price gouge I'll buy another Cayman and have a much better car that will hold more of it's value.
