I cannot speak for all, but I don't know that many drive their sports cars in the snow.

Agreed. IF, we get any snow where I live in VA I definitely won't be driving my Supra. I'm fortunate that my Supra is not a daily driver. I have another vehicle better suited for snow duty.

It's definitely encouraging vs some other cars these mags test with less than 40K and lots of issues. I think a lot of this is because the Supra used a lot of already tested and proven components like the B58, ZF8, etc. The iDrive system is the previous gen and lots of bugs were worked out, this is not some groundbreaking car in terms of all new components and parts.

I know people like to bitch about BMW but if you look at their reliability ratings at Consumer Reports they have definitely improved in recent years.

I added these deflectors, they look great and are very stable. I can drive this beast at over 100kph with no buffeting. Happy days ?

That's fantastic! One day when I cop an A90 I'll have these in mind.

Pretty good results overall!

I added wind deflectors the day I got the car and upgraded to AMS gloss ones since then

Fuck a rare winter tire

Take it in for the free toyotacare oil change then never go back and you're golden

We have 2.5 seasons in Southern California so I'm chillen. Sucks to suck, everyone who's in the snow ?

Love this car. Lol

Same... I'm not sure I'd even say we've got 2.5 here. Basically it's "chilly" or "blast-furnace" - with the latter taking up 70% of the year and only about 2 weeks between the two. I briefly considered buying a set of PSAS4's as I now regularly drive over a mountain pass between homes - but then figrued I could just go around the long way on the 5-6 days it actually snows on the mountain.

I mean, I could drive one of our SUVs on those days... but any day I'm not in the Supra is a day I regret my choice.
