2020 Supra Quirks

that wind buffering has been mentioned a few times, super gross since I love driving with the windows down...IMO it is due to the shitty window mounted side view mirrors instead of body mounted ones like on the 86 which for me don't cause any significant buffering. I read a couple folks mention that you can buy some plastic piece to mount on the side view mirror stalk to help reduce the effect..

It's from the A-pillar, not mirrors.

#3. First thing I disabled in the car. So intrusive.
#4. Most German cars i believe don't have this. Instead Supra comes with Ventilation mode which you can setup from your phone. It only Vents, no A/C or heat...
#6. Had not even realized that, but the seat is one piece as many others pointed out. So with helmet (haven't tried yet) could get in the way.
One thing I find somewhat annoying is, i sit too high even at lowest setting. And lowering button also fiddles with the knee height or whatever its called. Can't say that I'm used to the 14 way seat.
#7. Haven't tried the horn yet. Lol.

I wanted to save hp/torque page to the shortcuts, it doesn't allow it.
Would have liked to see tire pressure around the tacho, not the screen.

I totally agree with you on the tire pressure since i live in the east coast with shitty road, i'm always worried about tire pressure.

That’s not why. For example, Porsche’s do it. It’s just because of the way the air flows over the a pillars. The more aerodynamic, the more thrumming.

Used my wiper fluid yesterday which then promptly shot up onto the roof (fine) and then off the sides & dripped inside the car... So yeah, wiper fluid with windows closed next time.

Wipers seem a little weak too (shuddering), not sure if just a 'break-on' type thing or the ceramic pro rain coating on the glass.

Paper on "The effect of buffeting noise in passenger cars"
The first page abstract is dry, but open/download the PDF which has some great illustrations of what causes this.

how can we fix this window buffetting noise issue!???

Little wings on the A pillars would be my guess.

Seems like Toyota would have done this themselves if it were that easy (like they do on other models), but then again they didn't design the mirrors.

I'm surprised they didn't notice this in their testing. Maybe they always ran with the windows closed.

If they were like me, I never drive with both windows fully down and only experienced the buffeting because I was trying to make it happen (due to complaints) - I suppose it's possible the testing was done in such a way as for the buffeting not to occur. *shrug*

No. Main. Console. Storage.

I’m used to have a big storage inside of car, not in my trunk.

Am I looking over storage in main area or Supra really don’t have anything? First time I got the car I though cup holders would open and that would be storage, but nope. Nothing. Nada.

I did noticed the small “net storage area” on passenger side.. but more storing option would have been nice.

You didn't miss anything. 2 cup holders and a little square cubby right behind those.

Did you not watch any videos since may. Thought everyone knew it lacked storage space.

1. I also have the rain coating and my wipers shudder. Does anyone without coating have the same issue? I'm wondering if there is too much friction now and it may wear out the wiper motor?

Other things.....

2. Not being able to turn off the automatic engine off at stop lights when in comfort mode is annoying
3. If you open both doors on the LE and look from behind, the passenger side doesn't have the red leather on the doors. WTF?
4. Wireless charging isn't easy access, especially with a USB plugged in (work phone doesn't have wireless charging so I'm often charging both at the same time). Also my phone gets pretty hot with wireless charging
5. Would prefer a center storage counsel. When I have coffee in the cup holders it interferes with my natural elbow position for using the infotainment!
