Isn't it annoying driving at 4k rpm on the freeway?

Not really, Im on the freeway for less than my drive and even then im always switching lanes and never cruising. I do tend to gas it pretty hard and I downshit at every light instead of braking.

I’m glad you don’t live anywhere near me.
You sound like a menace on the roads.

I had the 2.0 and now I am on my 2nd manual 3.0 (traded black '23 for '24 blue!) . If the 2.0 was a manual I would still be driving it.

BUT, I do really love my 3.0 manual. Averaging about 27 mpg in the manual 3.0. On the highway, the 2.0 would easily pull 36-38 cruising at 80 mph.

Mate, your car must have been a lemon, assuming you bought brand new, what kind of break in did you do? I'm getting average 26 - 27 MPG (US) (8.5 - 8.9 l/100km on 95 premium in Australia) fuel economy, that's combination freeway/street driving with occasional hard acceleration for fun, I don't drive the tits off the car every gear change. The computer is saying my average since I bought the car brand new is 26.7 MPG or 8.8 l/100km (that's including break in). No way you are getting 16 l/100km without doing something stupid.

If youre getting 27mpg in your 3.0 Im going to assume you dont drive it hard at all or youre just feathering the pedal on the freeway. I do drive my cars pretty hard and I always change oil every month or two.

I have averaged 26+mpg over the last 15k miles I've put on the car and I have not been conservative with it

Unfortunately, insurance companies agree with you. I have a squeeky clean driving record (no accidents/tickets in last 3 years) but somehow my supra insurance went up from 200 to 550/month in less than a year. People have told me its because of the vehicle info tracking bmw sends out to insurance.

That’s insane.

This is why you need to opt out of lexisnexis data selling and not use the Toyota app or insurance apps on your phone. At least turn off location tracking and cellular on the app in your phone settings. There are threads about this. They will absolutely use the data against you.

Or…..
Save the ‘whipping it hard, constantly changing lanes, and downshifting hard at every light and never breaking’ for the track and drive on the street like a responsible human being.

Dude, thank you so much! The apps make so much sense, turning off my location services.

Related question: if i turn off sata transmission, i cant track my vehicle location. If my car were to ever get stolen, could insurance deny me bc i got the car tracking discount but i turned off?

The Supra is much much lighter than a GTR by more than 200 lbs. GTR's are like 3900+ lbs while manual 3.0 is 3350 and 2.0 is 3180.

With the A91 its allegedly 200 lbs lighter than the GTR and I dont feel it one bit. The 2.0 and 3.0 is roughly 220 lbs lighter and I can feel every fucking pound its lighter.

How? The GTR is like 3900 pounds, and the auto 3.0's are 3400. Manuals are roughly 100 pounds lighter than that.

I've driven a GTR and a C7 Z51 package (roughly the same as a Supra) on track and can definitely feel the weight difference.

 

[romanLegion9574]

Also, your definition of fun here is very subjective. I felt the GTR to feel way too safe, like the car's computer was driving it more than I was, and that's the same feedback I had from a few Supra owners who moved into GTRs after.

If you are getting 13mpg out of a 3.0 manual, then you must be reckless driving everywhere for no reason... Having owned both Ill still take a 3.0 supra everyday over the R35.

I get 14-15 mpg in my 3.0 manual ? Only driven hard and running on E25

this post is dumb as hell lol, mod your 3.0 and you wont ever regret selling the 2.0
