The odd thing to me in the two trims is the 3 piece strut bar only comes on the A91-MT and not the Premium MT. Obviously you can add it yourself, but it’s still unfortunate they didn’t include it for all manuals (all models honestly). It looks so much better than the 2 piece, I had to order one for my A91-CF because it looks so much nicer for those staying OEM+.

It was the exact spec I was looking for as well. 3.0 premium Nocturnal MT and they gave it to me at MSRP because it was the end of the month. The only negative was that I had to pay for the carbon fiber mirror caps. Oh well tho!! It was well worth it.

What are your first imptessions of the car? What is the driving feel like?Looking to see if anyone has taken delivery of their a90 MT. Haven't seen any and was wondering if im one of the first.
Waiting for my MT allocation to pop in.
Thanks

It's my first manual car I've ever driven so Idk if im the right person to ask, But it feels amazing and really easy to drive. Shifting feels natural and the car is super quick! Car feels really nimble and suspension feels great. Auto rev matching works really well. Overall the car is amazing but I haven't felt how other manual shifters are so I have no reference. Whatever you do, don't trust the parking brake censors.

That makes me really excited about the car! I love the fact that it is a small nimble sports car with a powerful engine. I bet it feels like a go kart on the road. Is the suspension smooth yet firm in sport mode? Do you like driving in sport mode as well?
Thanks

Kinda wish it was a bit more stiff in sport mode but that can be fixed. I prefer sport mode especially since it got the burbles and pops. Normal mode has barely, if any burbles/pops. Also feels more responsive in sport. Had a dude ask me if I had an exhaust on the car, said it was really loud. Stock sounds good but not loud enough on the inside for me.

I’m about 300 miles into my A91MT and the driving experience is excellent. I’ve been driving manuals for more than 50 years, and this one ranks way up there. Clutch take-up is light and very linear, and the shifter feels notchy and precise. It has a nice, heavy feel to it. The rev matching is very cool — more aggressive in sport than in normal. Car handles great, but I’m still getting used to driving a car with this short of a wheelbase. I’m observing the factory break-in recommendations, but you can feel the power that the car has. Fit and finish are very good, and the seats are great. Headlights are excellent….which is especially important for someone my age!

I definetly will be installing an intake for louder turbo noises. As for exhaust I feel you on that, I'm just not sure what the best route is. Catless downpipe would be great but then we get a CEL.
Great to hear that, I think I will drive in sport mode 100% of the time haha.

Im happy to hear positive impressions! For short wheel base do you mean how the car feels? Or moreso how the hood is long and we sit on the back wheel?
I am very happy Toyota focused on making the shifting feel good and percise and notchy.
Can't wait to get my hands on this car!
