“Higher price tag keeps the kids away”, sounds true and I like that

I daily'd a 2020 supra and in one year put 22k miles on it before i had to part ways for a family truck. It got 26 mpg in city and 32 hwy. No issues with it. Its comfortable and plenty of power for passing idiotic drivers in the fast lane. The ride was excellent with the adaptive suspension. Had it on custom setting, normal suspension with sport mode was my favorite combo

Great video man. Love the part about showing it to the kids and sharing it. I come from the same generation as you. Grand tourismo, need for speed, fast and the furious. Getting in a car like this when I was 14 would have been life changing and that’s what the car community should be about. Great stuff man and beautiful car!

[@VinceChristmastree]

Thanks man! Yes, you definitely know where I am coming from and seeing others get excited/happy about the car honestly makes me more happy than being in my own car. Appreciate it and thanks for commenting!

[@SwnkyTiger]

Heck yeah, especially as we take our own vehicles for granted some days. I found out a coworkers kid loved my car (M240i). So I came up to the house and took him for a rip, his father figured I made his week and he took lots of pictures. It took me back to being a young lad, my head turning on a dime hearing a neighbours M5 take off a few houses down. It was humbling and just a nice moment to realize that I might be 'that guy' to a new generation. Still have to test drive a Supra though, I can't stop lusting until I decide between it and what I have now.

[@jortenthusiast]

Great video! Looking into getting the 2023 and trying to learn the monthly/yearly costs behind such an expensive but beautiful car. This helped out a lot. Keep it up!

[@VinceChristmastree]

Thank you! Glad I was able to help. Definitely the goal of the video was to let people know just because you can get the car, doesn’t mean that the maintenance will be cheap. If you have any other questions, let me know!

@@VinceChristmastree I know you don't specify in the video, but since you've owned the car, how much have you roughly spent for maintenance/other costs on the car? What's the highest expense you've encountered?

[@kweesaboiigaming3997]

Wow thanks for the full information about the car...already saving up for the manual 2023 and ordered it. Wait is 3 to 6 months or longer but I don't mind, winter is coming and don't want it during that time yet until spring at least. It will be my first new car myself. Owned 2nd hand cars till now. It was always manual. I was going to get the Subaru STi but they stopped making em. I was so devastated. I wanted a 4 wheel driver car but the Supra takes you to another level but I hope it drives well in the winter if not I'll store it at my father in laws.

[@VinceChristmastree]

You're welcome and thanks for taking the time to comment! I've had so many STIs so I know how you feel. Even though they are expensive to make go fast, the experience to drive it is amazing. The Supra will be fine I think in the winter assuming you have a winter setup. If you want a AWD car, the RS3 is great, but it's DCT. You could look at the previous generation Golf R for a manual or current gen if you're okay with DCT.

[@jellyjustino]

awesome video!! have one coming in next month after such a long wait. i was wondering what you tinted your sides and front windshield ty!

[@VinceChristmastree]

Thanks for the kind words Justin! I’m excited for you! You’re going to love it. I tinted my front 50% and sides/rear 30% Llumar IRX. It’s pricey, but damn it helps a lot with the heat rejection. So worth it!!

Very nice detailed and informative video bro! This was a very useful video for me because I own a CTR right and now have been thinking of making a move to the supra since I don’t really need the extra space in the R. When you bought the Supra, did you ever look back or regret selling your Type R??

[@VinceChristmastree]

Thanks Brandon! The CTR was amazing in the 9 months that I owned it and I do miss it, however, when I do drive my Supra, I am reminded that I made the right choice. If you don't really need the space, then the Supra would be a great choice! I do wish that I could keep both, but if I had to choose one, I would choose the Supra.

There’s so many dream cars that I would love to have. From mustangs to single cab pickups, I never really paid too much attention to jdm cars such as Toyotas and Nissans but after checking this Supra, civic si, and some other cars in really starting to want this car more and more. Currently I have a 96 Chevy pickup truck but I would definitely like to have a fun, less gas hogging vehicle and the Supra kind of hits the nail of wanting something fun, fast, and reliable. It’s expensive but that’s what you gotta pay to have something like that :D

If you can, try to get one used that is not selling for MSRP or higher. Not sure what trim Challenger you have, but if it's not the Hellcat, you'll like it more. There's a lot of former Challenger owners in the groups and they all love the car more.

[@SUPRA_SOLDIER]

Informative! If I'm new to cars, but really drawn to this one.. Is the MK5 worth learning how to change your own oil and modify?

[@VinceChristmastree]

Change your own oil, absolutely! You just need a jack, jackstands, ratchet, 17mm and 22mm sockets and you’re ready to go. As for modification, it’s more on the complex side so I would say start with a Honda since they are super simple to mod and understand since the B58 platform gets somewhat technical. Not difficult by any means, but can get confusing.

The only thing holding me back from the supra is the sub-par sound system. Yes, I know you can upgrade it aftermarket, but I hate the idea of already bending and removing car panels on a new car just to get a decent sound system.

@@VinceChristmastree I've found being lowered isn't as big of a problem as having FWD or AWD with good snow tires. I just sold my Fiesta ST that was tucking tire and my lowered WRX did just fine.

How well does the Supra handle in the winter time? I live in the PNW n the winters can be really rainy , sometimes a few inches of snow.

[@VinceChristmastree]

Can’t really give you a super accurate answer since I live in a different part of the country. I know some people have an extra set of wheels with snow tires and they’re fine. If you are able to go that route, you definitely should. During the summers/spring, get quality all seasons like Pilot AS3s which grip really well for all seasons and handle amazing even in rain. The stock super sports are decent in the rain and useless with snow lol

Thank you! I’ve had so many silver cars that I wanted to get a different color, but people say the silver looks good. It does look cool at night when the light starts hitting it! Downshift blue is so sick. Pretty rare color too!

[@yewtubez]

cool vid! Do you reckon your car 700hp would be more fun with a manual?

[@VinceChristmastree]

In terms of being fun, absolutely, but would I trade the ZF8 for a manual? No. I’m getting older and lazier and rowing gears in traffic isn’t really my thing anymore. The radar cruise control on the car is so nice and the ZF8 is so fast that I would take it any day. If I had enough money, then I would get a manual MK5 Supra as another fun car. It wouldn’t be replacing my silver car.

I’m 6’2 and I drive a s2k. When I hopped in the Supra for a test drive and it did feel cramped

[@VinceChristmastree]

Not the first time I heard that honestly! I’m assuming you did adjust the seat to the lowest and furthest position? Have a buddy who is 7’0” who dailies their Supra somehow lol

[@CalifornianWayfarer]

After making it through the pandemic and the ensuing car shortage, I'm going to upgrade from my 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT Manual. I've seen Supras in Santa Monica but not driven one. Good to see your positive owner POV. Does the passenger seat fold down? I need to fit a kiteboard bag from the back, but that could only happen if the seat folds. Thanks

[@VinceChristmastree]

Hi! Thanks for commenting. You can push it forwards and recline it to the front most position. It won’t completely fold unfortunately. I’ll try it in the morning and I’ll report back on how far it goes.

[@CalifornianWayfarer]

@@VinceChristmastree great thanks

[@VinceChristmastree]

Just checked this and the front seat will move as far as the rails go, probably a foot or foot and a half of clearance from the back of the seat to the speakers and the seat will only recline forwards a maximum of about 90 degrees. Hope that helps!

[@CalifornianWayfarer]

@@VinceChristmastree awesome, thanks for checking. So by 90° you mean the seat back is straight up vertical? Does it seem like a kiteboard or a shortboard can fit when inserted from the trunk towards the passenger seat?

[@VinceChristmastree]

@@CalifornianWayfarer Yes, that is correct. Maybe leans a little bit forward, but not much. From the chassis brace in the cabin (behind the seats), it's 40 inches from there to the end of the trunk. You can potentially fit skinny items further into the cabin, but it will rob some of your arm space and might intrude the cup holder area.

[@andrewchang7194]

I’ve been eyeing the new Supras since I was in college. It sucks that nowadays, most dealerships will mark these cars up 10k-20k so I don’t think I will be able to get one in the near future, at least for new. I am looking to find one used, so I’m just wondering, what’s a high mileage for sports cars like these? Typical daily drivers (Camry, Corolla, etc) are considered pretty new if they have 10k - 20k miles. I’m not sure if sports cars are the same way, or if they age like milk LOL. What mileage should I try to aim for if I’m trying to buy used?

[@VinceChristmastree]

High mileage in my opinion would be cars that have over 15-20k miles. Sadly, not a lot of owners drive their cars. As for the mileage to aim for, it really depends. I would suggest going for a 2020 so you don't have to deal with a unit that could potentially have an oil burning issue and you can at least mod the ECU if you want without having to pay up the ass to get it unlocked and all that. Also be aware of examples that have been modded before and returned to stock since people take shortcuts sometimes. I got lucky with mine, bought it with 6.3k miles modded, but really well taken care of and I have not had any problems with it.

[@andrewchang7194]

@@VinceChristmastree thanks for the advice, I’ll see if I stumble upon any used supras that people are looking to offload, if I could get it even at MSRP with minimal mileage (

Hey! Thanks for commenting. Depends on your usage. Auto for daily driver duties because of how great the ZF8 is. If it’ll be your weekend car, manual 100%. Video will be going up soon on the manual!

[@Joolz1982]

Good vid covers a lot of stuff with GR Supra. Like yr colour you chose too never seen that colour in the U.K besides once. I’m trying to get a used red or white I think as (yellow seems to attract too many bugs) for £40,000 after my 2017 GT86.

[@VinceChristmastree]

Thanks for taking the time to comment! Funny you mention that because silver is such a common color for cars here and I've owned so many silver cars so I never really thought about it. Red or white would be awesome! Red is my favorite color so I'm biased. If you can get a deal on a used one that hasn't been abused, definitely go for it. If you can get a new one at MSRP, then jump on that since I'm not familiar with the car market in the UK!

[@Joolz1982]

Cheers for the reply. U.K people mostly go for white or black cars not sure why, occasional Silver Mercedes. I’m gonna buy low mileage below 20,000 miles if I can used for GR Supra. MSRP usually fine here for new cars, just wait times a pain. If I spot a rare U.K Silver GR Supra like yrs I’ll be on that in quick, or the dark blue one also which is also pretty rare here. We get Warranty through dealers for used cars so will probably go that route. Keep up the great info.

[@joshuarhule3089]

The reason why people hate on the new Supra is the fact that bmw is not known for their reliability so yes bmws are great sports cars, but at the same token people are upset because they don’t think it’s going to be reliable since it has German touches if that makes sense

[@VinceChristmastree]

Understandable. So far so good on my end, seems like Toyota put their magic touch on the German stuff.

Does yours have adaptive cruise? How well does it work?

[@VinceChristmastree]

Yes. Works pretty well for what it is. I came from cars without it so I’m glad to have it. I always use it especially in traffic so the car will inch forward by itself. Doesn’t have automatic lane center steering though which kind of sucks.

[@mdw1000]

@@VinceChristmastree yeah, it is awesome. We have an Accord with it and a manual Miata. When it comes time to replace the Miata, I still want a sportscar of some sort, but I really want the adaptive cruise too for heavy traffic and long road trips

[@VinceChristmastree]

Having it in your sportscar really just changes your mindset driving it to more places. With my STIs and other sports cars without adaptive cruise control, I would always just be hesitant taking it further just because I didn't want to deal with traffic and the "work" of long roadtrips.

[@kevindepew8193]

I think the hate on the Supra because it is really a BMW is because people want Toyota reliability and serviceability. You say you don't understand the issue, but that is it plain and simple. A BMW cost a significant amount to maintain. Parts are ultra expensive. Service costs are ultra expensive. Reliability is nowhere near as good as Toyota. The BMW M4 (Pre-Giant Buck-Teeth styling) was a great sports car, but I wouldn't want to own one because I would not be willing to put up with its reliability and maintenance costs. I want to keep my cars AT LEAST 10 years. These things aren't going to be feasible for keeping on the road 10 years unless you are willing to spend A LOT of money maintaining it.

[@VinceChristmastree]

I mean you're not wrong about it being expensive. It's a 57k car so of course stuff isn't going to be cheap. Reliability is up there as plenty of owners have racked up insane miles on their units with no major issues other than the oil burning issue for the 2021+ A91s. Unfortunately, not everyone is going to be like you where they plan on keeping their cars for 10+ years. A handful of owners have already put up 80-90K miles on theirs with just routine maintenance. If you have a little knowhow, oil changes, brake pads, rotors, etc. are quite easy to do. Tires will be expensive if you've ever owned a sports car in this price range. If you plan on taking it to the dealer, then obviously it's going to be pricey. I'm sure you've heard of "fast, cheap, fun...choose two of those in a sports car". It definitely applies in this case. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Are sports cars really meant to be daily driven though? I feel like they should only be for the track, street racing, and weekend warriors.

Depends on who you're talking to. Personally for me, I want to always drive an exciting car and typically those are sports cars. I don't mind the compromises related to those types of cars. Like what they say, "life is too short to drive boring cars". If life permits, I will always daily a sports car.
