I went from 2015 M4, 2017 911, 2019 M2 Comp, to 2020 Supra and feel like I hit the lottery with this car. Absolutely love it!

Wow that is saying alot with your history. Supra better than a 911? Glad you enjoy the car.

My 911 was a base Carrera, turbo charged 6. The car was solid, fast, but had no drama too it, like it was too safe, and too quiet. I would have needed sport exhaust, the S Model variant, plus added technology packages, which would put the 911 into about $150k territory.

the Supra feels faster, it makes a great noise, feels alive and has some character to the drive, has modern tech, all for $58k.

I’ve driven a 2016 981 S with the Na motor and that thing makes just about everyone at Toyota feel like a boat, even the new Supra because I own one. I’ve also driven a 2015 m4 and while that car is very good and a more potent motor, it lacks the direct response and mid engine feel of the Boxster. I picked the Supra because It was the best sports car bmw makes....and I can’t comfortable afford a decent spec cayman/Boxster. While it’s not quite the power of my buddies m4 at higher rpm but it feels a bit more nimble on its feet. A perfect compromise for my pockets.

I had a 981 GT4. Disagree. The 981 is definitely more communicative in the steering department and is stiffer. The body movements over road undulations were unsettling, the gears were too long, and the car understeered midcorner even with sway bar tweaks. I don’t miss it very much.

I’ve owned e39, f82 and m235. Idk if it’s jumping into Supra but I don’t care what badge the car holds as long as it’s good

Amen to that. Well, as long as the badge doesn't say "YUGO" on it.

Honestly, if I saw a decent Yugo today, it would be pretty neat in an ironic way.
