It's not about whether or not it is quicker or anything else. It's about how it makes you feel. Sum it up, every vehicle is better with stick shift!

[@emigdiofranquez2906]

I wish Lexus made the IS in manual!!!

[@WarriorsPhoto]

Yes a manual does lead to fun. Especially in a sports car. 😊

[@Euroburger]

That statement would be correct if we were still living in the '80's. Since we're not living in the '80's anymore for quite a few decades the automatic transmissions outperform the manual in every way. And that sorry excuse of it being more involving is just a fantasy which all those wannabe racecar drivers would like you to believe. And that's basically the focus group that still prefers a manual over an automatic, people stuck in the '80's and wannabe racecar drivers.

It's a shame that so many people under 35 don't know the pleasures of a manual transmission. Another well crafted review from you.

[@kevinb8283]

And a lot of people under that age that have driven them either, don't know how to drive it properly, or complain about the clutch

[@shanekeene947]

I'm 26, trying to teach my friends. Most of them are convinced they're gonna instantly blow up my car even though I didn't know what I was doing when I started either. The few that do get it way quicker then I ever did, mostly because I teach it better then my parents ever did. Not that my parents don't know what they're doing, I just remember what it was like having no idea what was going on.

[@SarahnTuned]

I’d drop that number by a good 10-15.

[@mattnordsell9760]

The percentage of people who know how to drive manual is always seeming to be dropping more and more. I've known how to drive manual since I was 14 and I'm 35 now.

[@N8076U]

A manual transmission is actually a theft deterrent these days....

[@Thumplepuss]

The speed at which I tapped the notification 🏎️💨

[@wild_lee_coyote]

I love how Toyota’s GR line still includes manual transmissions for all its cars. I think they should still be an option in their performance packages for any manufacture. It’s not always about 0-60 times.

[@XenoRacing]

Most buyers want an automatic, hence why the manuals have become some uncommon. The market dictates it. There are only around 3 dozen or so models sold with manual in US, and slightly more in Canada.

[@bmw328igearhead]

​@@XenoRacing Yeah ... Stupid people that can't drive seem to have all the money. That's why H-patterns are being phased out. Fixed it for you.

[@wild_lee_coyote]

@@XenoRacing the problem also is that manufactures think that people only want a manual as a cheaper alternative to an automatic. So only the base model will have a manual option, but dealers always try and upsell to higher trims, or they want the performance packages that only offer automatics. And that’s even if the dealers get a manual for their innovatory. It becomes a self fulfilling idea that no one wants automatics, when in reality is that the cars they want manuals in never offer them. Like I would love the Subaru Impreza RS to have an optional manual. But they don’t.

[@FullChamber]

@@wild_lee_coyotebut can you drive without a rev-match option? Boi

Sarah has the best car reviews on the net love your channel Sarah❤

[@bsmirnov]

I've been waiting for *this* review. I mean a review of GR Supra MT by Sarah - 14 minutes of condensed information, all on point.👌 I'd also choose GR86 over Supra - better fun per💲ratio. Also it's the one I can actually afford. P.S. Subaru announced 2024 BRZ tS - a cousin to 2024 GR86 Trueno.

[@cadmando18]

I just detailed one of these! What a cool car. Just hard for anyone over 5’8” to get in smoothly. You have to adopt a new entrance and exit strategy so you don’t hit your head.

[@dannyyin9663]

Wow. I haven’t watched one of Sarah’s videos in a while until this one. Great review. You’ve come so far in the past couple of years.

[@Digiphex]

This already the answer for the Nizmo Z because this already has lots of features more like magnetic ride, a better manual, full leather and a better motor.

[@johnmccabe7645]

Great content Sarah, you have come a helluva long way in your discussions

[@jeroenm.7802]

The cool feature of the “station buttons” is that they are like short cut buttons for everything. I used them for phone contacts, screen on/off and radio etc.

[@johnmbell4642]

Hey Sarah, i’m glad you like the manual. I was impressed with all the work Toyota did to get that manual right. and couldn’t agree more about the steering wheel the wheel is a big part of the character of the car, but in this case just isn’t right, I would definitely go aftermarket and I don’t really like doing that but I’ve seen some really nice wheels that definitely improve the look of the interior. And you nailed it again absolutely the 86 for half the money thereabouts , I want a supra But the 86 is definitely the smarter thing to do we shall see have a great one🐧🐧🐧👍

[@roadkillraker]

So glad they did a 6m. Nice pointing out the little details.

[@benslooking4coolstuff]

Awesome vid! Awesome hair color!

[@stucook8622]

Thanks for another interesting video Sarah 🐧

[@bitkeeper4lj]

While the general public is gambolling in the comments section here, Sarah is probably ice blasting the other Supra... Also, you can call this car names, but it's exterior design is freaking awesome! Fell in love with it from the first sight. Now with a manual it's legitimately become my dream car.

[@SarahnTuned]

Correct ✅

[@tomheringer2047]

The high temp in Tucson on the day this video was posted was 106°F. Previous two days were 108 & 109. Perfect time to be ice blasting the underside of a vehicle!

Looking amazing as always 🎉

[@jaywest9786]

Nice review as usual. Love the black top by the way.

[@TheCluelessEnthusiast]

I wish every car manufacturer would offer manual transmissions for their sports cars. Sometimes the driving experience is more important than quarter mile times

[@Torsee]

Hey! New camera angle! 8:29 Love it!

[@cnorton1us]

So, the manual Supra is even more fun than the automatic. In other shocking news, dogs bark, it's hot in July and it rained again in New England 😁 I guess you'd need to go to Colorado to really test out that uphill hairpin turn function - I found plenty of them when I took a road trip there last year. I really like the color of this one, and it sounds great, too. Great review, and looking forward to more videos on the other Supra along with the V-8 Celica!

[@roymurray6374]

Happy Friday Eve Sarah!!! The more I see new Supras on the street I get FD RX7 vibes from them, they definitely do have the eyeball factor. Great review as per always. Stay excellent!!!😎

Nice! Manual transmission should be an option on all of their vehicles, wish I had one in my 4Runner. I like to be in control of shift changes not a computer.

You should rate breaking by measuring the angle above horizontal your hair achieves under max braking such as 22 degrees above horizontal.
