I was tired of waiting to see this manual Supra on sale for $60k+, so I purchased a Miata manual in Soul Red in the RF GT trim. Great fun and offers everything the Supra does for about 1/2 the price! To all those enthusiasts out there that are wanting a manual Supra and are tired of waiting and don’t want to spend about $70k after a dealer add on, test drive a manual MX-5 Miata in either soft top or in the hard top RF which is like a coupe style wise!
Congrats on Miata. How does it compare to GR86/BRZ?
@@wingonglingou2042 - I have no idea on that. But you should test drive one.
@@wingonglingou2042 - It’s a convertible and is a lot of fun. The other cars are fun but not drop tops!
MX5 is less cost, tyres, pads & fuel, and probably better long term maintenance wise. Still want a manual Supra though 😂
@@wingonglingou2042GR86 if it’s your only car (far more practical), MX5 for 2nd/toy car. They behave similarly but the GR corners flatter.
I'm trying to save the manuals, I have a 2024 supra mt on order, can't wait!!!
Nice!
Wow! Rough day at the office, Brian! LOL. Glad to see that you dressed appropriately for the event! Nice review. No wonder that this car is on the list of "long wait times" and "high dealer mark-up". After hoping that some fun cars with automatics would have enough "other" engaging character to offset the lack of a third pedal, I am now pretty convinced that for the most part (short of some actual race car or 6 figure Porsche), that it just isn't going to happen. It's always the same thing with the auto. "Great car, but you really need to get the MT". I suppose it is in keeping with what BMW offers, but kind of interesting that the 2.0L is NOT available with a MT.
The shirt is always available in the merch store! As for the car, I haven’t check on delivery time, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they’re in short supply. This is better than the manuals that BMW currently offers. Actual race cars aren’t enjoyable on the road. I drove our AMG last month on the road for Woodward Dream Cruise and it was no fun at all…except for the burnouts!
Thanks for recognizing the collaboration between the manufacturers. Most folks struggle to see past BMW’s involvement. As a package for drivers, the Supra delivers.
Thanks for watching. It's easy when you have a broader perspective. The manual in the M3/M4 isn't BMW's best work, while the manual here is excellent and it's clear that Toyota was behind it. BMW eventually got it right with the new M2, but this one is superb. Plus, this thing has street presence like no other car in the category.
Now I really got to drive one asap. Love the review.
Fyi the.logo has to be best the best in business! It's terrifying... almost like a roller coaster lol
@@BrianMakse Don't stand close to this guy when he's talking. Look at all that disgusting spit shooting out of your mouth while you talk. Gross.
Great review
Thanks!
Thoughts about BMW's B58 long-term reliability? Thanks god they didn't put a huge screen in there. How does the experience compare to an ND Miata (other than obvious power differences)?
Can't wait to order one of these eventually. Hoping to get it in manual but I could care less. I just love the car.
Currently my dream car right behind the GTR.
This is soooo much more engaging than a GTR. Tomorrow’s episode is about the new Z btw.
This is going to sound funny, but the thing about the GTR is that it's "too capable" and becomes scary fast too easily (as do many modern sports cars). I mean just simple FBOs on a GTR and you have an absolute monster. Fantastic car for racing, it's hard to go wrong with that. If I were going to have a car for track duty, I would get a GTR without question. However, the Supra seems to work best as a "normal car" that can be enjoyed in the streets a bit more. It doesn't have the latent potential of the GTR, but it's a smaller and more streetable vehicle that is fast enough to put a smile on people's faces. Sometimes less is more in certain scenarios.
“Couldn’t” care less.
funny if you go FBO on the supra it'll be quicker than the supra. GTRs aren't that quick till you start upgrading turbos, plenty of faster and more capable cars on stock hardware. Fangirl prob never drove any lmfao@@dannyllerenatv8635
Thank you.. will give the manual a try
I think you’ll like it!
I have been torn between this, the M2, and the CT4V Blackwing. I have settled on the Blackwing
Brian thank you for the review, I'm moving away from the German brands and coming back to the Japanese makes. I'm looking at the GR Supra and cross shopping the Lexus RCF, auto for both as I'm looking for a GT. Is there anything else that you can recommend and what are your thoughts on the RC350 so the pricing is closer to the GR Supra?
Have you considered a Nissan Z
Well…tomorrow’s episode is about the Z 🤔
@@timw2083 I have thought about it briefly, but unfortunately I don't have confidence in Nissan as a brand. I have owned a 76 280z and a 94 300zx TT in the past, but the last 10-15 yrs Nissan hasn't impressed.
Moving away from german...? Guys should we tell him?
Moving away from German brands..so get a Toyota with BMW engine, BMW transmisison, and BMW electrics......dunce
Id like to hear you discuss hill assist, launch control, and Toyota sensing in the MT Supra these features are fully removed correct? I saw a sticker on a MT Supra and it said it has hill assist how do you use it? I can’t find it on mine does it not?
None of those things are terribly interesting to me, so I don't cover them. Hill assist? Don't need it. I never bother with launch control on anything, it's just a circus trick. Safety systems? Standard equipment and nothing to talk about.
i hav hill assist on my stang. if unwant it in u go to the settings. if the incline is mild u will still roll back nut when it s a little steeper on lce u put
it in gear and take your foot off the brake and put it in the accelerator the car will hold for about 3 seconds hope that helps
I have thr manual supra. Not sure how to disable it but it's automatic hill assist
Ordered one today, im 3rd on the list but both guys wants auto so im first one for the manual, kind of excited, i will be trading in my audi s3 2020 with only 17k km on it 😅
Congrats! Which colour did you order?
@@BrianMakse cant order one lol, whichever color they get i get
@@Chocobohunteryou couldn't choose your desired color? that is so lame!
@@RotaryPoweredRX i dont really care as long as its not blue, plus if other dealerships have the colour i want then they can trade
Is as Fun as a MX5 ( the slow fast feeling) ?
It’s fast fast.
I have to agree it’s a wonderful car to drive but the low window line that you like drives me crazy. I’m pretty tall and find I have to duck down to look out the side when checking for cross traffic etc.
I know that’s not picking but ……..
Otherwise they have an awesome product there.
Thankfully I’m still race driver height. I don’t have too many complaints. Wind buffeting with the windows open is bad, but fixed by the aftermarket. It gets looks like a Lamborghini, if that’s your thing.
I almost knocked myself unconscious getting into a Supra and I’m only 5’9”!😊
Got a Miata instead! I like putting top down for a more thrilling experience!
@@BrianMakse - I was almost knocked unconscious getting inside the Supra; it’s so low and you need to duck…to avoid the blow! It’ll knock you out!! 😂
Sold my 2021 2.0 back in May (for $4500 more than I paid for it!) and now have a 2023 3.0 Premium MT, the manual is so much better. The 2.0 should have the manual option as well, but it does not!
Nice work! The two litre with a manual world be interesting.
That color is tight
It’s great in person I don’t think the camera captures it.
@@BrianMakse 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
maybe its the angle? but it seems like you're sitting pretty crammed in there. that seems like the 1 main issue I worry about
Don't worry, just go drive one!
I don't get why so many comments here about a Miata? Lol it's not on the GR Supra league...drop it! Still waiting for my Supra MT next yr.
We love to drive on this channel. It has nothing to do with a perceived “league” or otherwise. One of my favourite drivers in the last couple of years is the Huracan Evo RWD. Is that your league?
There’s room in the Supra?? It looks like you’re stuffed into it. I’d seriously be on the fence about buying one, due to claustrophobic tendencies. Even the GR86 is roomier.
We can help you with cars on this channel. Can’t help you with claustrophobia or other disorders.
Nice review ❤
BMW built a nice car, at least is not a garbage EV or Hybrid.
I think it’s Magna who actually assembles them 😎 BMW still does some fantastic work, like the M3 CS we drive a little while ago.
@@BrianMakseIt’s no 2JZ engine 😂
It’s scary how most people settled for the auto version #SaveTheManuals
The auto is far quicker, uses 15% less gas. manuals do NOT work with turbo engines Goober
Whatever you say, Chad! You're clearly the expert!
Plenty of choice. I'm happy that Mini is committed, at least in the short term, to saving the manuals.
@@worldofz00 That must have been you I saw blocking traffic--at 55 mph.....try it at 80 mph and see what happens Gomer
@@worldofz00 You are a troll hiding behind a fake name.....you have no credibility.....stick to your toy car videos kid........you aren't even old enough to shave.......let alone lecture anyone about anything.....LOL....
I had a guy try me in one of them.. I don't know what he was thinking?? I have ripped 2 BMW's too already too.. Then I get this Dual clutch Elantra N next too me.. I was short shifting at 4500 RPM and he thought we were racing LMAO!!!! Then we pulled over and talked.. He thought I was lying about short shifting.. So then i had to take him to the Black Horse Pike in South Jersey and rip him proper.. I ran 1,2,3 out to 7,000 each gear and I was gone.. It was over.. I can't do 60K on a car like this, when there are Muscle cars out there for the same price, less even..
Which performance driving schools have you completed?
"provides near supercar levels of performance" bro must be talking about supercars from 15 years ago
Bro what we’re the last five supercars you drove bro
@@BrianMakseAudi r8 v10 plus, Lamborghini huracan LP610-4, 911 gt3rs Weissach, 458 italia. Driven several other higher hp cars, but still wouldn’t call them “super cars”. Stock mkV Supra is average performance by todays day and age bruh
So, all old stuff then?
@@BrianMakseall those cars smoke the Supra soo now you’re just contradicting yourself. It’s okay maybe a car reviewer like you will get to drive such cars one day 😂
@@MikeyG003please tell me about your driving qualifications that allow you to have such amazing insights
grMn
Too expensive
I see that you fit not so well !!
I am 6’2 and I can’t fit comfortably in the cabin!!
I fit perfectly. Lovely car.
To expensive? What are you comparing it to? For around 50k this is the best RWD sports car you can buy
I'm still waiting for this guy to stop kissing the backside of toyota. Give me a break.
Let me guess. You’re really fun at parties because you suck the joy out of everything.
It is a really ugly BMW with no room inside.
Another fake shill review.....want to shift manually that is what the 8-speed paddles are for on the automatic.....0-60 in 3.7 seconds and 30 mpg highway. Manual 24 mpg highway and 0-60 in 4.2...SLOW....the first Nissan Z will embarrass you at a stoplight. Turbo engines like this are designed from the ground up to work with AUTOMATICS......peak torque at 1,800 rpm.....always beyond peak with that with automatic. All a manual does is slow you down with a turbo car--doesn't work. You want a manual get a natural non turbo car like the Mazda Miata with its higher torque peak.
Shill? Tell me about your driving credentials, cowboy. I'll wait.
Lol
@@BrianMakse I test factory cars for a living....get $1.7 -$2 million million worth of new cars every year and put at least 500 miles on each one, been doing it for three decades.....not like you a dealer loaner with a 5 minute shill drive. Yes I know how to drive a manual.....and know turbo engines are designed to work with automatic transmissions from the ground up, NOT a manual box...manuals only perform with a non-turbo design. I said it in public, I said it to Toyota, and they gave me four of these anyway......no reason for lie to the public. Glad you waited....I wont pound you too much....anyone who lives in now Marxist Canada under prime minister Tru-Doo needs sympathy. He will be taking your cars away soon so enjoy while you can.
@@chadhaire1711 get some help, kid. You're completely unhinged.
It is about the fastest numbers, it is about fun and interactive driving.
