I doubt the MT pulls harder since the auto 0-60 is 3.7 vs manual at 4.2. I’m interested to see Sam CarLegion on YT put them against each other.

Dude, it’s not what you think that matters. It’s what Max said after testing the two side by side that matters. 0-60 includes shifts tine and we all know the AT shifts like lighting. In terms of in gear pulls, Max said MT pulls harderI doubt the MT pulls harder since the auto 0-60 is 3.7 vs manual at 4.2. I’m interested to see Sam CarLegion on YT put them against each other.
Doug Demuro already did. I like his reviews of cars for the quirks and features but his reviews are largely inaccurate technically. He’s good at showing the fine details of operations and function, but SavageGeese said it best that a manual over automatic transmission is not a big deal in todays world because the automatic transmissions aren’t the terrible transmissions of decades ago.Wonder when Doug is gonna review it
Not sure I could disagree more with this statement.SavageGeese said it best that a manual over automatic transmission is not a big deal in todays world because the automatic transmissions aren’t the terrible transmissions of decades ago.
i understand where you’re at because I always had manuals when I could. However this does sum up the works of today very well. I’m not anti-manual preferred them most of my life. What he says is quite on point though.Not sure I could disagree more with this statement.
It's interesting that he talks about how development and care isn't really done with modern manual transmissions anymore but with the new MT Supra, we've seen how this isn't really the case and Toyota actually did put a lot of thought and tuning into the manual setup (even being non-Toyota parts to begin with) and you can see how MT owners are enthusiastic and have been giving great reviews of it since the manual version came out.i understand where you’re at because I always had manuals when I could.

I drove the auto Supra when putting my deposit down for the manual. While it's quick, it just wasn't for me. The paddles just aren't fun for me. Now that I have my A91-MT, I'm very glad I went with the manual. Absolutely love it.It's interesting that he talks about how development and care isn't really done with modern manual transmissions anymore but with the new MT Supra, we've seen how this isn't really the case and Toyota actually did put a lot of thought and tuning into the manual setup (even being non-Toyota parts to begin with) and you can see how MT owners are enthusiastic and have been giving great reviews of it since the manual version came out.
It says a lot that it's 2022 and there's still a pretty good demand for a transmission that on paper is worse in almost every way performance wise than the 8 speed automatic option, yet for me personally I would take the MT over the auto every single time for this gen Supra and it seems a lot of other people out there would too.
He only did an overview of a preproduction model, no driving involved.Doug Demuro already did
