It is almost as if BMW builds amazing high performance engines and Toyota built a great car, despite the braindead hate from people who can't even afford a new Corolla in the first place.
I can afford a "new Corolla" several times over and would have paid over $100K for a true Supra successor. Try not to generalize so much - it makes you look "braindead". If I wanted a BMW - I would get one - but I don't. I want a car that will last more than a few years - like my 1994 Toyota Supra turbo - that will still be running great after this model is gone. BTW - Toyota built zilch for this car. Go under the skin and find a Toyota part. You won't.
@@doctorlarry2273 Doctor, heal thyself. The original Supra was never that great unless it was modded. This Supra will be great modded but is better stock than the original-by far. There’s a reason they stopped selling them. Porsche they were not.
@@HEADLINEZOO The only reason they stopped selling them was because they could not move them at the price.

@@doctorlarry2273 The original unmodified Supra’s failed. Period. They became a cult classic because of a movie and modification. BMW’s make great cars and great modifiable in-line 6 engines. The new BMW (Toyota modified) Supras are superior to the old ones. My Porsche Cayman S and Panamera 4S AWD are far superior cars to the old one-trick pony original Supra’s. The new Supra’s look much better.
@@CarExpertAus That is incredible. The Supra definitely is controversial - gets a ton of love and hate at the same time. Every 10k miles for service? Or less?
This is so cool. Surprised people didn’t like the wheels, i love them. They’re so JDM. Also loved this style of videos, feels very personal/conversation. Subbed!
I like the wheels, don't get rid of them! They remind me of what I had on my Forester XT (Rays G-Games 99B). Plus, I like your style of motor journalism, it is thinking outside of the box, if you know what I mean. Keep doing it!
CarExpert nah it was too far out of my budget range so I ended up buying a used 2015 mustang ecoboost instead. I’m definitely hoping to buy a supra later on tho
Wow, great video! I love the format. I just bought my 2020 A90 and I absolutely agree with every point. I had a similar process for selecting my next vehicle. I was considering the C8 Corvette, a lightly used Cayman, or an M2. At the end of the day imports always win for me so that took care of the C8. The value that the Supra provides is what ultimately convinced me. This car will be cool forever!
This is a great review car expert. I love the intro and the Outro, all the tech features and the extra details about the car definitely a plus. I’m curious, how long have you been a car reviewer?
Paul was one of the co-founders of a group called CarAdvice which is one sort of like Australia’s motortrend or road and track. They’ve been around for probably somewhere around a decade and he co-founded CarExpert to start fresh and do something a bit different without any sponsored content and without the guidance of a big organisation which bought CarAdvice
You are the most humble and honest motoring journalist I've ever seen. I am a car enthusiastic and would love to work with you someday. Nice car and great colour. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
Thanks Colin, appreciate it! We are all about being transparent so we will always tell it like it is. The car isn’t perfect so we will throw together another video with the stuff I don’t like.
Yes, definitely do more of these! Channel’s exceptional. More videos that aren’t reviews would be good. Interested to see what all the contributors drive and why.
I just bought a Supra and I freaking LOVE IT! I grew up around mustangs mostly, and other V8 cars. I’ve owned 5 mustangs and a Corvette. My buddy has a GTR. The Supra is my favorite 100%. It does everything perfectly in my humble opinion. People that talk crap and dismiss the car are truly missing out.
Congratulations on your purchase Paul. I’m not usually a grey/ silver car fan but this colour looks sensational on this car, I am really looking forward to seeing more reports on this car. If you’re ever in the Southern Highlands of NSW I’d be happy to point you in the right direction to some great driving roads. Ps I love your number plate.
Wonderful stuff Paul. I have enjoyed your vids for quite some time and you are right up there with Harry, Matt , Mr Catchpole - your content is great and insightful- keep up the good work! Cheers!
Really enjoyed the video. Although I'm a Canadian 2020 Supra owner, I can fully relate to your comments and experiences with the car. Looking forward to more!
I always assumed Paul was of Serbian heritage, but when I saw in the clip his real name is Pavle that pretty much nailed it lol Good work guys enjoying these reviews.
Absolutely amazing rims, mate! Finally someone that has style and doesn't put rims on that makes a car look like a stage coach. I really like the colour too, good on ya!
Hi! Greetings from the Philippines. Wanted to express how much I love this channel and what sets it apart from other motoring journalists. Keep it up, team of CarExpert!
my friend has a car review channel with over 2 mill subs (i wont say who) but dealerships and manufacturers marketing departments pay them cash or even offer a year lease on some really expensive cars if he reads the script and mentions specific things which makes it seem so unnatural and he mostly refuses but putting your own money even to just rent one for a shoot is legit awesome and i love seeing journalists in 2021 not being pushed over by major coprorations
Well i can see why. Im car obsessed and have multiple mechanics degrees and certificates, ive worked in the industry for years, and i would 100% buy the new supra... it gets soooo much hate, but its a great gt car! I could take trips across the country in this thing soooo comfortable and secure and planted, with amazing mpg for its hp, but also know its got enough power to have tuns of fun and do anything i want to do... its brand new so its not gonna break down anywhere, the b58 is an incredibly efficient and modern engine with tuns of potential and contrary to popular belief seems like it will be very reliable for a high hp turbo car... its a good buy...
Only the front bumper vents can be made functional if you replace them with aftermarket vents-there are a few carbon fiber ones available. You will see air slats that will direct air to the front wheels.
Love the video & video style and love that it’s coming from a fellow Aussie. Would love to see and modification videos you do on the Supra as well. Also would like a tyre review / test
No Apple CP and Android on a BMW system what a joke. I think the wheels are great. Not fancy looking but they serve a higher purpose than pure aesthetics as those tyres are definitely enthusiast based. I’ve watched many of your videos and now finally subbed.
Wow, I am jealous! This was a great video and I have to say I was never a fan of the look of the Supra but in that colour it looks schmick! Also think the wheels suit it too! Thanks for doing this, it is really appreciated to get honest content! Looking forward to the 'negatives' on the car. Love your number plate too :p
Really enjoy your reviews Pavle! You know what you're talking about and passionate about cars vs it being a job. You're thorough in all aspects of the review, which is great to see. Great choice on the Supra, beautiful colour! Question, what is your favourite driving roads? I think I've seen your car around Warburton once. I could be wrong. Keep up the great work.
Thank you, Michael! Really appreciate it. Hmm, heaps of really great driving roads around Victoria! I really love the Bryant Park hill climb track in Moe - that's a great spot with some fun driving roads around it!
I've never met another motoring journo that lives and breathes what they do more than Paul & Alborz. Keep it up boys. You're the Aussie version of Bovingdon & Catchpole, perhaps with Paul having a twinge of C Harris (from the good old days before he was a TG presenter thrown in), in my book (although I'll leave it to you both to decide who is who haha).
Hey man I enjoyed the video, like In Asia enjoy your ride!!!! That’s all that matters everyone always has to put their 2 cents in on whatever someone else purchases instead of respecting what others like!
Nice purchase Paul...I'm one of those guys that initially was pretty 'meh' about the look of this car when i saw it first in photos and video reviews, but it has since grown on me; i saw one drive by next to my street just the other day and it was the same colour as yours and i must say it really has a street 'presence'. That BMW engine apparently has a massive tunning potential if you wanna go down that road and everyone praises how well that ZF8 auto works with the engine (i knew you wouldn't have any of that DCT jerkines ruining your drive), enjoy it mate
Enjoyed the format and your delivery so much that I liked and subscribed. Good stuff! Love the paint-work and from some angles, the wheels look really good, but I do agree that they look odd in the side profile shot of the car.
I don't what percentage of track to road driving you are doing but if much higher on road then I would definitely stick with the standard wheels as they suit the style of the car much better - save the track wheel - tyre package for dedicated track days. Love the paint job!!!
More road driving. My only issue is that I don't have anywhere to store the wheels at home so they're in my brother's warehouse with my other car. I'll have to figure out a solution to keep them at home!
Good vid man. The A90 supra is my current achievable dream car i hope to get someday. My only question is, what do you think about multi-spoke wheels such as O.Z Superturismo LMs on the supra?
It's a ripper of a car! In terms of the wheels, I hadn't really looked at other wheels on the market - there are stacks of different wheels people have been putting on these. It's hard to make it look bad.
@@CarExpertAus Truth is always helpful - but not always funny. If you and the OP think that people that don't want this car are somehow lesser than you, you both are totally wrong. Have you been through all the parts on this car (beneath the skin)? Tell me if you ever find a Toyota one.
Even though it's a 90 % BMW product with a weak Toyota effort in terms of a few tweaks in appearance engine , transmission , I , and a lot of people still think this is a great car . A lot of bang for your buck. Great handling , performance , and most of all a lot of room for engine modifications . The engine has room to do so much more , it's a tuner's dream ! So , I think , you made a great choice , even if it's so controversial . Good one mate !
You need to talk with more MKIV owners. The stock MKIV is certainly a GT - that is what it is called. It was in the class with the fun 1990's cars including the Z32, Z33, and Z34 and the 300ZX, 3000GT, RX7, NSX, and the like. The Supra was the best of the bunch - leading every category tested by the automotive press in the US (I am not as familiar with JDM models). In addition to performance, the Supra held the record for best braking performance (I think it was 0-70mph-70) until Porsche managed to top it a number of years later. The MKIV Supra was made by Toyota - not by a movie or drag cars, or drifters. It was a quantum leap above the MKIII model, and frankly all of the competition below supercars. Stop thinking that it was not all that much at the time - or even now. I have no problem with people buying this model - however they should know that it is NOT built by Toyota in the slightest. In spite of all the Toyota PR, they did next to nothing for this car except the badging, body, and some tweaks to the tuning and suspension. I am sure BMW owners will like it, but I have never bought a BMW due to their unreliability past the first few years and the difficulty in the US of getting parts and service. My experience with BMW comes from my son having owned quite a few BMW models - after their warranty was up. I wasted a bunch of time and money helping him maintain those cars. BTW - he finally grew up and does not own a BMW now. If you have not guessed, I have a 1994 Toyota Supra turbo that has some "tasteful" and tasty performance mods - with no visible mods except the FMIC and the TRD exhaust. I got it in 2000 (before the movie) and it was my daily for a number of years - in addition to me tracking the car (road courses) for 14 years. I "retired" the car from tracking a couple of years ago to a life of luxury. I may have spent up to $10K US on mods (including some later engine dress-up!) and currently have over 600 crank hp. It is tuned for just under 500rwhp for normal use at 15.5 psi boost. It would not have much problem with the new model around a road course. People that don't like this new model because they are MKIV Supra owners are not unintelligent or mean or dumb. They know the heritage of the Supra and do not like the BMW "influence" (99%) and feel that this car was not at all what we were hoping for since the FT-1 was shown. I hope you enjoy your car and may it outlast typical BMWs! (BTW - please stop referring to this car as an A90. The A80 was a Toyota chassis and this one is a J29 chassis. The Z4, coincidentally, is a G29!)
CarExpert went to chadstone the other day and test drove the model 3 performance! Wow best car I’ve ever been in, and I’ve been in a fair few, as a ex car salesman, I would say it even tops My drive in a rs6 performance!! Me and my wife were blown away by the tech/car/refinement/ power!!! Insane power that is so fast it can make you Motion sick😛 I am happy to report that we didn’t find it one bit too firm 👍🏻 not even the other half!!! 😁 nothing like a filling/Tooth wrecking rs3 that we drove, could never have that as a daily as cool as it is...... Tesla was super smooth with surreal refinement, was blown away by the auto stopping at traffic lights 🚦 too ☺️ as soon as our new cafe opens in July and the $$$s start rolling in we will be placing our order, also I was very impressed with the sound system, would say it’s as good as the Volvo XC60 Bowers and Wilkins that I tested. I have two questions to put to you please Paul 1) I heard that Tesla come last on the JD power survey?? Have you had any issues with yours? 2) as we didn’t know Chadstone very well and only had half an hour with the car we could only try a 0 too 80 as we didn’t trust speed cameras ect in good old Melbourne, I would love to know if the seat pinning and made acceleration builds onwards from that speed or is that the main Peake/surge of power? Does it start to die down from there?? Keep up the good work mate, love the channel. 👍🏻 p.s. just got an Insurance quote $200 a month 😱shit they are expensive to insure.
Nothing in the pipeline. I don’t want to void the warranty - but have been keeping a close eye on my friend’s Supra - he has done a tune, down pipe and intercooler and it sounds incredible!
Nice video. 👍 About those Advan GT wheels, I love them and looks good on your Supra. Keep them! If not, give them to me and I'll put them on my A70 Supra 😁 They are one of the reasons I clicked on your video. Wanted to confirm they are Advan.
Have been meaning to ask you about those wheels on twitter, mate. I agree, they're a bit small and a bit far and furious for what is otherwise a bloody nice car. Love that colour, too. Hard to clean? I'll look forward to seeing it at the next DAD drive, once this bloody COVID business is done with!
Well presented again Paul!! Nice pick Paul. Glad that Toyota came out form traditional concept with more ragged looking. Partial credit goes to BMW too.
Great video! How do you feel about the power bump that the new 2021 Supra's will be getting? Would you have held off buying for a few months had you known? Also I',d be curious to hear your thoughts on the 2.0L Supra as well, do you feel like that one is worth the money? I hope you have time to answer these questions here or on the next video. Thanks.
Thanks for those great questions, Johnny! Yep, I definitely would have held off buying if I knew. But I bought this as soon as it launched in Australia in September last year. It's disappointing that Toyota made such a big change to the next model year - it's a strategy that will lose them sales in the long run because people won't be confident buying the car if they know the next year will be a big step up. Also love the sound of the 4 cylinder. Hopefully it'll push the price down so we see more of them on the road!
An Australian car journalist dropping money on a Supra = family money.
My family fled a war and immigrated to Australia with nothing. What a stupid assumption to make. Go away.

Hi 👋🏾 carexpert. What’s the cost of maintenance on this Toyota supra?
It’s pretty cheap! Toyota has capped price servicing. Servicing occurs every 12 months and costs $380 per service 😁
@@CarExpertAus That is incredible. The Supra definitely is controversial - gets a ton of love and hate at the same time. Every 10k miles for service? Or less?
I really like the format! More of the same please.
Really not a fan of the wheels but it's an awesome looking machine mate. Great job
@Benjamin Silva: It’s every 12 months or 15,000km, which is around 10,000 miles 😁
Congrats on the Supra mate! I've been loving mine for the last few months. Just did a track day in it and it's very quick indeed.
I just checked yours out - that thing looks insanely cool! Where are you based? That road looks like the Glendora Mountain Road! :_D
Definitely like to see more of this format, was thinking why it has taken this long for you to make the Supra video 😂
😅 we’ve just been too busy! But will definitely try and get more of these done 😁
Appreciate your thoughts on the Supra. Also, your down to earth presentation (no crazy pose on the title page etc.). Look forward to the next one.

@@CarExpertAus no worries my fellow refugee 👍
I like the wheels, way better than the stock ones
they do look good on the supra. but oem ones have a premium oem+ look also not bad as a fully stock car
I like the wheels too, but that's probably because I grew up playing NFS: Underground on the GameCube.

You're the Aussie version of Bovingdon & Catchpole, perhaps with Paul having a twinge of C Harris (from the good old days before he was a TG presenter thrown in), in my book (although I'll leave it to you both to decide who is who haha).
Thank you, mate! Appreciate the feedback :-D
Hey man I enjoyed the video, like In Asia enjoy your ride!!!! That’s all that matters everyone always has to put their 2 cents in on whatever someone else purchases instead of respecting what others like!
I love the number plate not going to lie 🤣
😄
Nice work Paul i like the wheels and colour combo
Nice purchase Paul...I'm one of those guys that initially was pretty 'meh' about the look of this car when i saw it first in photos and video reviews, but it has since grown on me; i saw one drive by next to my street just the other day and it was the same colour as yours and i must say it really has a street 'presence'.
That BMW engine apparently has a massive tunning potential if you wanna go down that road and everyone praises how well that ZF8 auto works with the engine (i knew you wouldn't have any of that DCT jerkines ruining your drive), enjoy it mate
Agreed! There’s plenty of headrooM with that engine. One of my mates has tuned his and it’s an absolute beast!
Enjoyed the format and your delivery so much that I liked and subscribed. Good stuff!
Love the paint-work and from some angles, the wheels look really good, but I do agree that they look odd in the side profile shot of the car.
Thanks for joining us, Gordon! Yes that’s my problem, some angles they look good but side on they look strange.
I don't what percentage of track to road driving you are doing but if much higher on road then I would definitely stick with the standard wheels as they suit the style of the car much better - save the track wheel - tyre package for dedicated track days. Love the paint job!!!
More road driving. My only issue is that I don't have anywhere to store the wheels at home so they're in my brother's warehouse with my other car. I'll have to figure out a solution to keep them at home!
Great choice. Looks like a BSG Cylon Interceptor, ie amazing. Can't wait to see one irl
😄
That Phantom matte color looks really nice!!
😄😍
Those are really nice wheels. Much nicer than stock.
Good vid man. The A90 supra is my current achievable dream car i hope to get someday. My only question is, what do you think about multi-spoke wheels such as O.Z Superturismo LMs on the supra?
It's a ripper of a car! In terms of the wheels, I hadn't really looked at other wheels on the market - there are stacks of different wheels people have been putting on these. It's hard to make it look bad.
Lovely car and I like the format of this video. I think the wheel style and colour suit the car very well.
Thanks Ian, appreciate the feedback!
Would definitely love to hear about your other cars Paul. Great video.
Definitely will Steve! Will sort out the Tesla next 😁
Congrats on the new car! Is that satin grey colour standard? Or did you get the car wrapped?
Congrats on the car, like your honesty and great format. I agree that the wheels look to small for the design.
Thanks mate! Yes agree on the wheels too.
That numberplate 😂😂 all the BMW jokes from people who own fiestas normally annoy me but when you own a Supra it's actually funny 👌
😅 I thought I’d preempt all the hilarious comments about it being a BMW!
@@CarExpertAus Truth is always helpful - but not always funny. If you and the OP think that people that don't want this car are somehow lesser than you, you both are totally wrong.
Have you been through all the parts on this car (beneath the skin)? Tell me if you ever find a Toyota one.
Awesome Content Paul and the team, question, when do we get to see more like this?
Very informative...love the vid
Even though it's a 90 % BMW product with a weak Toyota effort in terms of a few tweaks in appearance
engine , transmission , I , and a lot of people still think this is a great car .
A lot of bang for your buck. Great handling , performance , and most of all a lot of room for engine
modifications . The engine has room to do so much more , it's a tuner's dream !
So , I think , you made a great choice , even if it's so controversial .
Good one mate !
Thanks!
Ive enjoyed this, honest and realistic. Good stuff. Cant wait till you guys get the yaris gr4!
Thanks! We can't wait for the GZ Yaris as well! It looks like an absolute pocket rocket :-D
You need to talk with more MKIV owners. The stock MKIV is certainly a GT - that is what it is called. It was in the class with the fun 1990's cars including the Z32, Z33, and Z34 and the 300ZX, 3000GT, RX7, NSX, and the like. The Supra was the best of the bunch - leading every category tested by the automotive press in the US (I am not as familiar with JDM models). In addition to performance, the Supra held the record for best braking performance (I think it was 0-70mph-70) until Porsche managed to top it a number of years later. The MKIV Supra was made by Toyota - not by a movie or drag cars, or drifters. It was a quantum leap above the MKIII model, and frankly all of the competition below supercars. Stop thinking that it was not all that much at the time - or even now.
I have no problem with people buying this model - however they should know that it is NOT built by Toyota in the slightest. In spite of all the Toyota PR, they did next to nothing for this car except the badging, body, and some tweaks to the tuning and suspension. I am sure BMW owners will like it, but I have never bought a BMW due to their unreliability past the first few years and the difficulty in the US of getting parts and service. My experience with BMW comes from my son having owned quite a few BMW models - after their warranty was up. I wasted a bunch of time and money helping him maintain those cars. BTW - he finally grew up and does not own a BMW now.
If you have not guessed, I have a 1994 Toyota Supra turbo that has some "tasteful" and tasty performance mods - with no visible mods except the FMIC and the TRD exhaust. I got it in 2000 (before the movie) and it was my daily for a number of years - in addition to me tracking the car (road courses) for 14 years. I "retired" the car from tracking a couple of years ago to a life of luxury.
I may have spent up to $10K US on mods (including some later engine dress-up!) and currently have over 600 crank hp. It is tuned for just under 500rwhp for normal use at 15.5 psi boost. It would not have much problem with the new model around a road course.
People that don't like this new model because they are MKIV Supra owners are not unintelligent or mean or dumb. They know the heritage of the Supra and do not like the BMW "influence" (99%) and feel that this car was not at all what we were hoping for since the FT-1 was shown.
I hope you enjoy your car and may it outlast typical BMWs!
(BTW - please stop referring to this car as an A90. The A80 was a Toyota chassis and this one is a J29 chassis. The Z4, coincidentally, is a G29!)
I love how you are doing these mate, It’s fantastic how much you love cars too, fantastic job, I hope to see you out on the roads sometime ;)
Thanks, Billy! Appreciate it :-D
Love this format dude
Good video, like to see more, BTW I like the wheels
Thank you! Will have more coming soon :-D
Perfect paul, bring the VP next video 😊
Absolutely! That’s the one I’m looking forward to pulling out of storage the most 😁
The wheels are sick mate!
Love it mate, please do your model 3 next😍
Absolutely will 😁
CarExpert went to chadstone the other day and test drove the model 3 performance! Wow best car I’ve ever been in, and I’ve been in a fair few, as a ex car salesman, I would say it even tops
My drive in a rs6 performance!! Me and my wife were blown away by the tech/car/refinement/ power!!! Insane power that is so fast it can make you Motion sick😛 I am happy to report that we didn’t find it one bit too firm 👍🏻 not even the other half!!! 😁 nothing like a filling/Tooth wrecking rs3 that we drove, could never have that as a daily as cool as it is...... Tesla was super smooth with surreal refinement, was blown away by the auto stopping at traffic lights 🚦 too ☺️ as soon as our new cafe opens in July and the $$$s start rolling in we will be placing our order, also I was very impressed with the sound system, would say it’s as good as the Volvo XC60 Bowers and Wilkins that I tested.
I have two questions to put to you please Paul 1) I heard that Tesla come last on the JD power survey?? Have you had any issues with yours? 2) as we didn’t know Chadstone very well and only had half an hour with the car we could only try a 0 too 80 as we didn’t trust speed cameras ect in good old Melbourne, I would love to know if the seat pinning and made acceleration builds onwards from that speed or is that the main Peake/surge of power? Does it start to die down from there??
Keep up the good work mate, love the channel. 👍🏻 p.s. just got an Insurance quote $200 a month 😱shit they are expensive to insure.
I think the classic 5 spoke design wheels are very nice. A set of BBS CHR's would also look good
Congrats on the new drive. What is the matt paintwork like to maintain and clean? Have you performed any treatments on it? eg a ceramic coating?
Thanks! I applied a matte wax, but outside of that I just hose it off and try not to use any other harsh products on it :-D
any upgrades planned? Nice wheels btw..
Nothing in the pipeline. I don’t want to void the warranty - but have been keeping a close eye on my friend’s Supra - he has done a tune, down pipe and intercooler and it sounds incredible!
Nice video. 👍 About those Advan GT wheels, I love them and looks good on your Supra. Keep them! If not, give them to me and I'll put them on my A70 Supra 😁 They are one of the reasons I clicked on your video. Wanted to confirm they are Advan.
Loved the video and the concept! 1st of it's kind I guess!!
Yay! Thank you!
Those Advan GTs are a absolutely beautiful, don't ever get rid of them
😁
Great looking set of wheel's Paul,love the look of the seats id say they would really hang in there.
Thanks mate!
I didn't know until now Ive watched this vid you own a supra men
Great taste 😂 gonna buy that also in the near future 🙏
Have been meaning to ask you about those wheels on twitter, mate.
I agree, they're a bit small and a bit far and furious for what is otherwise a bloody nice car. Love that colour, too. Hard to clean? I'll look forward to seeing it at the next DAD drive, once this bloody COVID business is done with!
Colour isn’t too bad - I just hose it off and it lives inside 😁
Love the channel from South Africa 💯
Well presented again Paul!! Nice pick Paul. Glad that Toyota came out form traditional concept with more ragged looking. Partial credit goes to BMW too.
Thank you, mate!
LOVE the format! I'd much rather watch this kind of review than the typical boring scripted stuff Aussie journalists normally
do..
Thank you mate, really appreciate it!
Great video!
How do you feel about the power bump that the new 2021 Supra's will be getting? Would you have held off buying for a few months had you known?
Also I',d be curious to hear your thoughts on the 2.0L Supra as well, do you feel like that one is worth the money?
I hope you have time to answer these questions here or on the next video. Thanks.
Thanks for those great questions, Johnny!
Yep, I definitely would have held off buying if I knew. But I bought this as soon as it launched in Australia in September last year. It's disappointing that Toyota made such a big change to the next model year - it's a strategy that will lose them sales in the long run because people won't be confident buying the car if they know the next year will be a big step up.
Also love the sound of the 4 cylinder. Hopefully it'll push the price down so we see more of them on the road!
Great video mate
This was great Paul thanks for sharing
Congrats with a cool car!🤙😎 cheers from norwegian subs
