Bless you for testing this. I haven't gone faster than 155 and that was in a 2008 STi (on the autobahn, of course). To be young and have some cajones....that STi surprised me at how stable it was at that speed but I imagine the Supra feels pretty darn stable in comparison up there....just...
I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned other than some brief mentions of FCA, but I've been in several states and the small Jeeps like the Compass, Wrangler, and Renegade are ALWAYS speeding like they have 1,000 HP. Interestingly, Cherokees aren't nearly as bad... those people that buy the...
I haven't run into this at all but I only have about 1400 miles, probably a little less now. Like others mentioned, reverse was a bit tough but in reading as much as I could about the MT before I got the car I was expecting that. It has loosened up a bit. Second to third is smooth for me so far...
Lol, exactly how I feel at the end there so you're not alone on that. I will never understand why people do dangerous shit or just generally drive fast to get to a red light and then have you sitting behind them....what does that even prove! Wasted gas and look like a fool while managing to make...
Haven't really got any looks so far. I had one older gentleman see Supra written on the back and he started saying how he liked the MKIII back in the day. I had another guy say "nice little car..." still not sure if that was intended to be an insult or not. I think maybe it makes other people...
I test drove a 21 a while back. Compared to my MT, I do remember the 21 doing some more burbles and stuff. I just got out of the break in period and have been using sport mode and it definitely made a difference but still isn't quite as animated as the 21. I drove a 23 auto real quickly too and...
This happened to me too. Car came off the truck and then i had to wait about 48 business hours and a Sunday for it. Never saw anything like this happen before because dealers usually make every effort to sell the car as quickly as possible (particularly since i had a deposit on it when it was in...
For those enduring the long break in period and doing it by the book like I did - I hit the 1200 mile mark last night on the way home from work. Tldr: was worth the wait.
Oh. My. God. So after some moron sped by me at like 20 over the limit and then we were sitting at the same light anyway...
Wow I did not see that coming at all. To be honest, I was a bit sad about the previous lightning lap times being so close to (and over) 3 minutes and slower than some other cars I would have hoped it was quicker than. Those four seconds make a big difference when considering the times of the...
Silly question but would these work on a 2023? The Toyota parts site lists 2020-2022 so I just wanted to check if anyone knew. I imagine they would, but better safe than sorry!
Wow i didnt expect that. I have a manual and that car sounds stock too. I don't know how in the world it would have a gearing advantage over the auto when the auto has two more gears but maybe that's it? I'm sure someone will have objective information on that. It does seem to pull like crazy in...
Thanks for the input everyone. The times that this is most noticeable is when I'm going up my driveway which has a slight incline and I'm trying to fit it through the garage door opening and when I'm trying to reverse on an incline or decline...so I'd say it seems pretty safe to say it's the...
That was my understanding that it was standard in the premium and that was one of the things that sets it apart from the base model along with the slightly larger rear brakes. Or at least that's what I thought. My premium has that and I'd have to look at the sticker but I know it's not listed...
Welcome! I have a white manual as well. Exactly what I wanted and I absolutely love it. I considered a ton of other cars but I feel like I made the right choice...glad I went white too!
Touche, I was generalizing a bit too much by saying everyone and agree with it having just the right combination of looks, performance, and features for the price - said that same thing actually earlier in the thread! And I get what you're saying about it being a Toyota to a degree and agree...
Cognitive dissonance maybe would be a better concept if someone is second guessing their decision and grappling with those thoughts and feelings counter to the decision they actually made. Confirmation bias probably is a bit more fitting since that would be the tendency to look only for...
I'm a bit embarrassed now. I just commented in the hill start assist thread a couple days ago and didn't even consider that'a what it could be. Thanks - it makes sense because it seemed to be something that I noticed most when I was parked at work on a slight decline facing a curb where I was...
Hi all,
Hoping this is in the right place for the forum and that it's nothing but wanted to get some feedback:
When I'm at a complete stop, put the car in reverse (it's an MT with 650 miles for context), and try to get moving, it sounds like the brakes are maybe sticking a bit? There's some...
I've tried my 2033 at varied speeds as high as our highest speed limits in VA and at all windows positions and am still waiting for the awful sound everyone described. Maybe the buffering doesn't bother me...totally wasn't expecting that but am pleasantly surprised. Maybe it just doesn't bother...
