I just wanted to share my thoughts on the Supra after owning it for a year since February of last year with 21,000 miles.

I daily my Supra. My daily commute is about 15 miles to my work. Part of my commute is city driving and highway driving. I drive in sport mode in the city and comfort on the highway.

the Supra isnā€™t a perfect car by any means. Itā€™s a thorough sports car with no compromise.

That being said, it is a cramp cabin. So if you are a bigger person and have a passenger, it will fell very closet phobic. The cabin doesnā€™t bother me. I actually like it. It makes the Supra feel like a sports car.

Another issue I ran into is not being able to recline. The Supra have very little room and a rear crossbar is blocking some of the available back space. So how do create more space? Easy, remove the rear crossbar. It gave me an extra 3ā€-6ā€ of recline. Those extra inches make such a huge difference. And thatā€™s what she said too. ?

Another complaint I have is the JBL system. It sucks. Even with the subwoofer mod and ASD disabled, it still sucks. My Acura RSX Type S bose system sounds better.

The stock MPSS tires tread wear is awe full. I noticed tremendous wear around 10k miles. I also felt that the SS tires were easily over powered by the B58 and its chassis. I replaced my tires around 20k miles with MPS4S. Itā€™s a night and day difference. I highly recommend them. MPS4S have a 300 tire wear rating.

I only ran i to the oil consumption issue around 3,000 miles. I changed the oil to 5w-40 and since then have zero oil consumption issues. I change oil regularly at 3,500-5,000 miles.

The clown hornā€¦..enough said.

21 locked ecu. ?

So whatā€™s the good? No compromise performance. We need to give Toyota a ? . They were able to keep the weight under 3400lbs.

The Supra turns in sharp, even sharper with the MPS4S. When you are turning hard around a bend, keep pushing it as the mechanical grip will keep you in your line. However, you will not feel it. It becomes numb after the transition Iā€™m to the curve. You just have to trust it. ?

I have zero complaints about the storage of the Supra. It fits everything I need to carry, to include my military gear.

I love the Supra and will continue to keep dail
