Oh I can certainly see why people would think that, it's subjective and yeah, it's a really small car. I'm 5'8" in the biggest shoes I own, and like 180lbs. It's really comfortable for me! It feels somewhat claustrophobic even for me though, and like I said, I'm not very big. I've got a buddy who I've been meaning to try and fit in the car - he's 6'6". I'll ask him how comfortable it is when he finally gets a chance to get in. :)
Shorter height for the win. I love the size of the car. Drove 10 hours straight in it and was totally fine. It's my DD in the summer. To low for the winter though. Coming from a BMW I rarely used the back seat anyways. Usually for a bag or two that's it.

Used to have a CLS550, CL63 and a M6. All of which in my opinion are great cars. I like my Supra more. Would recommend minor bolt ons. A tune down pipe and meth to bring out it’s true power without breaking the bank. Suspension could be better. At a minimum I would go with hks lowering springs and a Cusco rear power brace to improve driving over 100mph if you ever decide to go that fast.

If you have an extra car for hauling as mentioned and no intentions for kids, I'd highly recommend the Supra.

I've had an ISF, BMW F80 M3, and BMW M2 as my most recent cars and love the Supra. Ride quality is very compliant as a daily driver. No regrets so far nonetheless.
Coming from a new M3, that's high praise! Feeling more confident into jumping into it

Waiting for the 2021 hopefully improved suspension fixes the concerns

I sold my W204 C63 AMG to fund the A90. No regrets. I love the C63. Brutal, analogue, sounds absurd. Love it.

The A90 is just as fun - in a different way - but no regrets. Would own another C63 in a heartbeat if I could afford it and had the room.

Came from, still have my 2018 Audi S6. Two different animals. I'm must admit Supra is much more fun to drive. All wheel drive V8TT in the audi is a blast but Supra has a different feel.

I came from a 2015 Porsche Macan S and it's weird, but in a good way. I got use to the large, go over anything (e.g. speed bumps) that I forgot that I have to do the sports car crawl every time there is anything but a smooth road.

The power and nimbleness makes up for it in spades.

Haven't made the move to the Supra yet, but my current ride is my 1991 Porsche 911 964. In the past I've had a Spec944 for track use, and my ex wife and I had a Boxster for a weekend car.

Supra is still top of my list for my next car. When that happens, I'll be trading in either the M3 or C63s for it. As always, the Cayman is fantastic but I don't feel the value is quite there for me personally.
