Every year, there are fewer and fewer affordable, engaging enthusiast cars on the road, so each time a new one comes out, it’s worth a more in-depth look. The MK5 Toyota Supra has been on the road for nearly three years now, but finally, for 2023, it’s offered in a manual transmission, making it more “enthusiastic” than ever. And we have the all-new 2023 Honda Civic Type R, a car that’s earned praise from across the automotive spectrum for its inputs, pace, and redesigned exterior. Matt and Zack hit the canyons with these two similarly-priced enthusiast cars to celebrate them and compare which is better.

*Affordable is of course a relative term, and that's before you factor in ADM. According to KBB, the average price paid for a new car in 2022 was over $48,000.

[@aroundomaha]

I miss some of the unrehearsed chemistry you guys have in things like Two Takes. I’m skeptical about the CTR due to its limited production and not enamored with it as an affordable pick.

I like comparisons but the music is distracting to me. I also skipped the podcast section because I didn’t want to hear it again or skip it when I get to the podcast

[@jahnemann]

I like this quite a bit. Excited to see it continue

[@negativecalamari]

I’d prefer you add background music to the studio part of the video, and have the car be the music during the driving commentary..

Guys more of this format! This was awesome. The intro with Matt brought me back to the OG days. Production was great and love the in-studio breakdown afterwards. More more more!

[@Ottofalcon]

Awesome!

[@dwaynebolan2583]

I agree

[@TheCynicalOptimist88]

Comparisons are awesome you could even add in some new affordable enthusiast cars that have been modified like ECU tunes etc or with simple affordable bolt ons... Could approach the suppliers of these add-ons and then find people with the vehicles to addon too: make the content around it. I bet you would have insane views on stuff like that👌

I'm a A90 supra owner and agreed with the format and review completely. It was honest and very respectful towards both cars. In my opinion they are different cars with different purposes. I've been thinking of trading on my 4 runner for a CTR and keep my A90 project. Thanks again for the review and the feedback!

[@arshole5380]

I enjoyed the new format, seems the semi scripted conversation works well for you guys and it flows more naturally from y’all than other channels utilizing something similar :) I’m not personally in love with how the music plays in/out but I see what y’all are going for.

[@ethanmonat]

The music is not bad, but it could use better editing. Don't put music in sections where you're actually discussing the car (vs. making Clarkson-eque exclamations of vehicular-induced excitement), and don't put it into a beat where it's only playing for 5 seconds. Other than that, I think the music does add some flavor and feel to exterior shots.

[@southernpimp5252]

This format was so much fun! A very entertaining change up from the normal format! I enjoy the extra personality in it!

I especially like the studio break down at the end! Keep it up!!!

Love that you guys are taking a shot and trying to make the type of content you always talk about wanting to make. Great choice on cars aswell very different approaches to the same end goal with different priorities. Also love that you guys include a studio segment as it leans into how killer you guys perform in studio for the podcast.

[@mstSean]

Overall really like the new format, feels like a mashup of one take and the podcast. I think head 2 head comparison really helps bring out the details on a car more than just a one take. The only things I would change is a few less back and forth in the driving section so that each segment in one car is a bit longer. The other small thing would be to reduce the volume of the music in the driving sections.

[@Thaiseaweed]

Yeah, music felt very early 2000s action flick

Regarding the anticipated Ring time for the GR Supra (7 min 40sec) by the Chief Engineer, this was in reference to the first year GR Supra with the 335rwhp B58. The 2021MY+ GR Supra with the 382rwhp B58 and revised suspension/steering/differential tuning should be notably quicker.

[@2011blueman]

Only affordable stick shift I know of is the mazda miata. Both the supra and the type R are selling for porsche money from the dealerships because of markups, so you're better off just buying a manual porsche instead of a supra or type R.

[@hevatibm]

Civic Si, GR86, Veloster N?

[@DylanTK]

you can get the Supra MT if you're diligent. Have a buddy that walked into a dealer here and bought one a couple weeks later for right around msrp. That said, Type R is a different story, as-is the GR Corolla.

[@BlueFL5]

I’d never buy a Porsche unless you can afford to maintain one. Paying 5-8k over MSRP for the FL5 (dealers are selling them at this price you just need to find them) is the better option. It’s cheaper to maintain, track, and still holds its value when you go to resell it.

[@marcinfil3673]

WRX stick shift, light as the type R, handles, drives and practicality on par or very close to the R. Easy tune leaves the R in the dust. AWD an icing on the cake.

[@BlueFL5]

@@marcinfil3673 from a value perspective the WRX is awesome. Right out of the box with no mods, I’d rather spend the money on an older FK8. AWD is nice if you live up north, otherwise it’s just added weight and loss of power to the drivetrain.

[@matiass7989]

Loved this new format! Adds dynamism and makes it more entertaining. You should also consider reuniting back at the studio after a review, to chat about the car and make comparisons with some sort of scoreboard.

[@AproposAndy]

I think some better field audio would go a long way for this. Getting the little noises like door closing, cold starts and exhaust notes kind of builds the characters of the cars more. Maybe do a half-time meet up where you can both stop on the mountain and discuss the feelings in the moment of each car? Play around with the structure while the format is still new and have fun! Thanks as always for the videos guys.

[@specops]

[@jprhea97]

Love this format! Honestly I’ve always driven manuals but I still love my 22 Supra and its 8speed auto. I think it’s an incredible transmission and that car wasn’t made to be a stick.. I think it’s great they did!! Personally I’d rather buy 997 Porsche 911 (or an s2000) as a second car than trade my Supra in for a manual. I’ve been spoiled by some incredible manual transmissions in previous cars and if I’m gonna buy another I want it to be the best manual you can buy sub 100k 😂 as always love the channel!

[@camryt]

Thanks for this vid, really enjoyed it! I’m a looooong subscriber (I think I subbed after S4 vs RS4 comparison yeeeears ago), so this brings back memories. I always loved your „budget Top Gear” productions back then, but understandably it wasn’t sustainable. I hope to see more videos like this one, it seems like both of you enjoyed making it quite a bit! One suggestion would be for you to be both in the car you are discussing at the moment, I feel like some chemistry was lost there.

[@tylerbecker3348]

Love this hybrid format! I think the rapport we've come to like from the podcast and two-takes works really well here. The in-studio wrap up is my favorite addition, since I love hearing about these cars in the podcast eps. Here, we get a bit of variation and a more 'rigid' and 'polished' version of chatting on the podcast. Personally, I love the VO intro, classic comparo format, and I honestly haven't watched some TST vids (the new SL comes to mind - just not a relatable car to me), but I'd be way more inclined to watch with this format and if you did SL vs. M8 to get more bang for my buck and a more entertaining vid. Excellent job and I love how y'all continue to evolve.

[@vette6600]

Because either vehicle would be a 2nd car for me, I would choose the Supra. While the engine is more common, I subjectively just think it sounds so good with simply an aftermarket downpipe. All other comparisons seem rather close. Also, I know Matt really did not care for the 2021 auto Supra, so looks like Toyota made some worthwhile updates. If the civic was easier to obtain (huge dealer waitlists), I would be tempted to get the R. But, currently I’m 2nd in line to get the Supra so I will stick with that! Both awesome cars, props to both manufacturers for spending time developing their enthusiast vehicle’s inputs and feedback

[@WynterK]

I like this format. Not necessarily change your regular reviews but, rather, augment them with these comparisons. Each of you had your preferences which are great to hear from gear heads. Then the rationalization at the end makes it real world for a daily vs a weekend car. From a guy who had an intega type r almost 20 years ago hearing a civic type r is a acceptable daily is sweet sweet nectar. Wait till full race gets their hands on this new type r, easily 450 bhp!

[@noobasdfjkl]

This format needs a little work, a little refinement, but the increase in production value is a welcome change to the TST reviews. The podcast has often had some more insightful analysis of a car than the videos have, so this merging of the platforms works very well.

[@noobasdfjkl]

In terms of being fast on a road course, C&D lightning lap had the old CTR at 3:00.7. The 2020 Supra did a 3:01.4, and the '21 did a 2:59.3. The manual is unlikely to have made the Supra faster, but has the Type R gotten 1.4s faster around VIR? I'd say probably so.

[@GrimSRT8]

That’s the Civic on R compound tires. Put R-compound tires on the Supra and it will drop 2-3 seconds per lap. Or just buy a Camaro SS 1LE that easily beats both of these cars by a significant margin for $45K.

[@noobasdfjkl]

@@GrimSRT8 Cup 2s are definitely not R comps, but I see your point nonetheless.

[@noobasdfjkl]

@@GrimSRT8 Also, an SS 1LE is really only a rival on the race track, which most people really just aren't going to. Plus, if we're talking tires, the 1LE comes on very sticky 220TW Supercar 3s. In the real world, the Supra is just as fast light to light, weighs a lot less, and gets way better fuel economy. Plus, it'll be right up there on the same tire for lap times. The back seat brings it back to the Camaro a little bit, but you just can't see out of the damn things, and it's 8" longer than the Supra.

[@GrimSRT8]

@@noobasdfjkl a road course represents all street performance: handling, acceleration, braking, transitioning, etc. There is no better representation of performance than lap times, and the Camaro SS 1LE solidly beats the Supra 3.0 on the track. Go look at the gap on Lightning Lap, and they never tested the updated 2019+ SS 1LE with the A10 that would post even faster times. GM says the 2019+ SS 1LE would drop 3 seconds from the lap. Some comments from MotorTrend on the SS 1LE after it was lapped on Willow Springs, “The list of cars the Camaro went faster than should embarrass some OEMs: Porsche Cayman GT4, 2014 Audi R8 V10 Plus, Ferrari 458 Italia. I mean, come on! To put it bluntly, the Camaro is in another league, with legitimate supercars.” and went on to say, “Chevy has done the near impossible, transcended the genre, and turned a once provincial pony car into an honest to goodness world-class sports car. This $46,000 miracle punches so far above its weight that I'm in danger of saying weird things that could easily be taken out of context. Such as, if I were an engineer at BMW or even Porsche, I'd be clearing off my drawing boards.” In an article where MotorTrend was comparing the Supra 3.0 to the Nissan Z, they took time to tell the readers to go buy the Camaro SS 1LE, not either of the cars in the test! They make the point that the Camaro drives much better than the Supra or Z, while being less expensive and faster. As for tires, the Supra and SS 1LE use similar types of tires- Ultra High Performance Summer tires, Michelin for the Supra and Goodyears for the 1LE. When I get new tires on my 1LE, I’ll likely be getting Michelin PS4S. If you think visibility is better in the Supra than the Camaro, I’d be shocked. Plus the Camaro has a camera mirror you can get that gets rid of all blind spots. I’m not sure if the Supra does as well, but I’ve driven sports cars for 30+ years and visibility in the Camaro is not significantly worse than other sports cars. It’s no worse than my Corvette. Maybe it’s different for me as I’m tall. On top of all of this, the Camaro is *considerably* less money than the Supra. So, you you may get slightly better fuel economy in the Supra, but the $10K price difference pays for a ton of gas! The SS 1LE will also cost less to insure and cost less to maintain. So what advantage does the Supra have? The Camaro performs better, drives better (according to the professionals), and costs significantly less. And this is coming from a guy who has owned 3 Supra Turbos in his life, and never a single Camaro until now. If the Supra was a better car, I would have bought it.

[@kevinc2332]

I think what it really comes down to is what people like beginning with the styling, then moving into the features and mechanics, then further into the track details. In my opinion, the CTR is better than both the Camaro and Supra, simply because it's a do-it-all vehicle with four doors and does pretty damn well at everything. However, I can appreciate both the Camaro and Supra for what they are - both amazing vehicles. Enjoy your Camaro to the fullest, brother!

[@NicoBremeau]

For everyone arguing about “affordable”. Yes they are relatively affordable for a new enthusiast vehicle. Cars have gotten exponentially more complex over the past 10 years with new safety standards and technology. And considering the average new price of a car is $48,000 I would consider them affordable for the modern era. (Without pesky adm ofc haha)

I like this format! Your One Take/Two Take vids are great, but this is a refreshing change!

[@SpookyConcepts]

This format is excellent!! Please do more! Thanks for the reviews guys

Great video. I was waiting for this comparison. I like the format. Here’s a couple of suggestions. First, have each driver drive both cars in the same video. Second, and most importantly, I’d like you answer, which one is more fun to drive? The latter is probably the only metric I can about. As you alluded to, it doesn’t matter about numbers, it’s about the style of the car and experience for me. I hope that helps. Thanks guys!

Thanks for this type of video. It does remain me old TST videos before the ones takes like the E92 comp video. Really good well made

[@Thighwatts]

Absolutely love this format… it’s not apples to apples but it’s definitely helpful for those looking for a daily or a second toy.

[@MegaRetr]

Guys more of this format! This was awesome.

[@Shredlock_Holmes]

I love the comparison, as well as the VO approach!

[@TheHDTheater]

Loving this, has a Throttle House vibe with TST flavors! Great work. Both of these are definitely on my radar when I shop for my next vehicle.

I appreciate this new format. Especially the studio segment at the end.

[@123ihk123]

[@PassionForWater]

How about the Extra Affordable comparison, Elantra N vs GR86?!

[@ddroadkill]

Great video as always! I really dig this new format also!

[@wesleyt7388]

Great new format! Keep up the good work guys!

[@asfandmunawar]

Format is awesome, enjoyed the video a lot.

I love the format it’s much more engaging than the previous - mostly in car format. For special-single car reviews this would fit nicely to give us a little history lesson behind the development of some cars. I don’t think many other journalists do that currently.

Enjoyed this format! Still love the raw onetakes but this was a great quality comparison

[@AlexandreCardinal50]

Loved the format more than one takes, way more content per minute since it seems more prepared

[@Spartan_Pope]

I REALLY like this style of format! I value the opinions you both share and disagree with. More please!
