The Toyota Supra FINALLY Gets a Manual Transmission in 2023. Is it Any Good?

20:00 the first time one of these rolled up to the dealership I’m at, I was pretty impressed with how it shows what gear you’re in so quick on the dash. I thought that was a super cool touch. I have a ‘13 FRS and I hate how laggy the gear indication is! Honestly if you can get past the fact that it’s a BMW side project, the new Supras are pretty great cars

[@SupraSav]

Appreciate your in depth, honest review. Some people will stop at nothing to bash BMW, but you criticize and praise where deserved. I love how notchy that shifter is, you can just hear it! Hoping to pick one of these up in the coming years. I will probably wait a year or two till JBL is no longer making the sound system(hopefully).

[@johntheaccountant5594]

The Supra needed a manual transmission from day one. It is a shame that the Supra doesn't have a Toyota 6 cylinder or the Lexus V8 engine in it.

[@blackcoffee730]

Absolutely agree!

[@j.howardj]

The Supra is actually called the Lexus RC or RC F. No manual trans. But it would be 100% Toyota at least.

[@chrisginoc]

Please google MKIV sales from the 90s. Maybe I'm dating myself, I remember Toyota stopped selling them because of poor sales. Toyota doesn't have to make an in house sports car because they profit more from suvs, sedans, trucks, etc. This was a low risk move by Toyota after getting burned with the MKIV and LFA sales. Maybe the MKVI is going to be in house and a hybrid. Only time will tell

[@mxkcrm]

B58 has potential 💪

[@mosswine5417]

Fuck it just get a corvette. I'm just gonna look out for a clean 08 and up c6, weighs around 3100lbs too, no need to worry about turbos etc..Maybe even try out the c7 with the 7 gear manual transmission. However i would much prefer the v8 in the is-f/gsf/rcf but whatever. OR EVEN the v8 in the E92 M3's that revs up to around 8400k. Thing screams!!

[@walpoleandworcester]

I see this red Toyota Supra all the time in the neighborhood and it looked pretty cool but then I remembered how much it costs to even have one. Glad to see this car on the channel and your thoughts on it.

[@starbai410]

Didn't realize accelerating and decelerating isn't good for the drivetrain. I do it all the time in my Supra to just to hear the turbo/engine. Even in 8th gear lol. Car has so much torque it picks up in 8th too.

[@Joolz1982]

Great to hear you talk about GR Supra again plus other tid bits with the Manual, and also indicating where more Toyota logos hidden as never heard those extra ones before. Hope my plastics don’t break as you mention, at least engine will be reliable as Toyota tore it apart before signing off. Thanks for mentioning the battery drain which can happen if seat belt left plugged in etc (yes GR Supra / BMWs always in Standby!). I’m having Throttle hesitation issue at moment in my Auto 2020 GR Supra randomly, believe this is a BMW thing. I’m always scared not to release the parking brake as feels weird lol. Regards styling bits as you mention the large hood, PDR dents can be pain to remove from aluminium doors and hood. Yep trunk massive pain in the ass to open.

[@marcussilva8440]

Yo, get your cars firmware updated, that fixes my issue with the throttle. I made them hook it up to the computer. I was forum hunting for an answer almost a year ago, I had it done and it’s been like a new car ever since. Don’t let the dealer tell you otherwise

[@Sie84yv]

Thanks for an honest Mechanic's test drive! Love your perspective

[@burntnougat5341]

It's a ZF manual from the Z4 20i. It is fine

[@JZ_Cars]

Im really starting to like this car. I spoke extensively with some folks at a Toyota Thrill ride about the Supra. It sounded like Toyota was very critical of this motor and made sure it would meet their demands. The rep told me they tweaked it a bit for their needs. I believe this motor is a very good one and would have no worries about the longevity. Also for those who complain about this not being 100% Toyota, please try to understand economics. Would you rather have NO SUPRA???

[@shyro76]

People really love to glance over the economics when it comes to the Supra. Toyota, in the US, literally has not made an in-line 6 engine since the 2JZ itself. The amount of money they would have spent trying to make a new inline 6 from the ground up would’ve skyrocketed the price of the car drastically. Toyota fan boys can complain all they want about how the Supra is largely a rebadged BMW, and some of those complaints are fair game, but BMW taking the reigns is the reason you can buy an entry level Supra with an line 6 for around 55 grand

[@JZ_Cars]

@@shyro76 My thoughts exactly! Then I’m sure they’ll say, but Nissan…. And for that they have to realize, Nissan took things in an existing parts bin and took what is an existing platform and tweaked it. I’m not saying it’s not great what they did, but they didn’t have to come up with an all new drivetrain and platform. It has underpinnings from the previous Z and the engine from the Infiniti Q50/60.

[@louv409]

Yes I rather not have a supra w a German engine

[@JZ_Cars]

@@louv409 vote with your dollars then, given what I have seen and experienced, there are plenty of car enthusiasts who aren’t stuck on that fact

That single cylinder engine in the diff is a great idea. It'll power you home when the complex main engine fails.

honestly the supra looks super good but for me BMW is big money wasted. ain't touching their stuff. great video

[@lordt78]

Nah, the 4th gen Supra is the best. The BMW Supra is ugly.

[@drewncars9505]

I was extremely excited for the release of the Supra when it was announced. Even when they said they were partnering with BMW. I figured if there’s anyone to get an inline 6 from BMW is the best bet currently. After they announced that it was auto only initially I was extremely disappointed. Completely turned away from the car and ended up going for a 6mt Tacoma instead to get into off-roading. Of course the GR Corolla was also not out yet either when I got my truck. I really want a manual Supra or the GR Corolla. I unfortunately now need to wait until I pay down the Tacoma more before I can get rid of it

AMD, With the GR Corolla and GR Yaris Toyota has shown us they don't need ANYBODY's help to build a performance car. Having said that, it is always good to see another manual come to market.

Not releasing the manual in the first year is a marketing strategy. BMW did the same when they released the Z3. First year was the 4 cylinder version and people bought it for the looks and being a new model. then they added the 6 inline, and so on.

I don't think anyone will regret buying a manual Supra. Solid engine (B58) that's even the preferred engine in the BMWs, these will always be desirable. The only shame was they introduced this car with the auto only at the beginning.

[@SHUJINCELL]

If Toyota did it themselves, it would be over $120,000 from factory, before dealership markup. If you want an "all Toyota" vehicle, which is probably the Supra prototype, get the Lexus RC F Track Edition. You'll spend more on a worse platform in comparison to the Supra.
