    I have a 2023 Supra and none of the things that you mentioned are an issue for me. Of course, I'm 5'4" and I just pop in and out. I found the visability is good and it is comfortable. The bottom line is, as you mentioned, a performance car and some may find the issues you mentioned an inconvenience. I own the CCC Music Company and International Music Syndicate and found the sound system on "my" Supra very nice. I am big into sound and quality. Of course, I rarely use the audio as I enjoy hearing the motor. This is a great review.

      As a producer and mixer for 12 years, and as an owner of a 2021 Supra, I can say the JBL is for sure lacking.
      When you purchase an upgraded sound system, you expect it to perform like one. While the sound works well flat, it does not perform well for entertainment and louder volumes. The subs almost sound blown out on the Supra.
      I’ve only tried it twice loud and it’s not hitting right.
      However, there’s an easy aftermarket fix for it, which I’m planning to try out.

      @Pandize Try not to do what I've done over the years - listened to very loud music, often - in my cars and at concerts. The bad news is that I'll always have ringing in my ears. The good news is that my Supra's JBL sound system sounds great at medium volume. The bass is plenty strong, and the highs are crisp.

      I'm sorry to hear about the tinnitus. That can come about by listening to loud sounds especially in a small space. The are making advancements in treating that. I am in the motion picture and music industries and I know what loud music can do to the hearing. I am 73 and still have perfect hearing but did take precautions. Keep up on the advancement of treating tinnitus.

    Since you've looked at a lot of cars, any recommendations for a fun daily driver? Been thinking about picking up a new daily next year, so that I can leave the Ridgeline home for the wife (since she works from home). As it is now, she's left without a car whenever I'm at work. She does have the Saturn Sky, but like my Camaro, that's just a weekend, nice weather car, and in fact it is put away for the winter right now, along with the Camaro. Since I'm planning on keeping the Camaro, I don't need an outright sports car, but still would like something fun to drive. Right now I'm thinking about a Mazda 3 hatch (for more towards the luxury side), or a WRX (if I go the more sporty route). Looking to keep it around $30-$35k, and whatever I choose would have a manual transmission. Do you have any other suggestions based on what you've looked at during your car searches?

    • @Gonin60
      @Gonin60  2 года назад +1

      Hey brother! So here are my thoughts. I’m very impressed by the new WRX. Looks have grown in me. Mazda 3 turbo is an auto and at the top end of your budget but a 3 in a manual could be fun. GTIs have a ton of cool technology for the price. People complain about the lack of buttons and I found no issues with them. I’m very impressed by the GR86 and BRZ but would be tough to get a hold of. A Civic si or Integra with a manual would be fun. I’m considering a WRX because of how much fun I had driving one from a pure drivers perspective.
      My vote would be a WRX or GTI

      @@Gonin60 Thanks Austin! Yeah, I didn't care for the new WRX's looks at all when it first debuted, but the more I see of them out in the wild, the looks have kind of grown on me as well. Been watching a lot of videos on them, and almost everything I see says how good this new model is to drive. I previously had a 2019 STI, and I always said I would have kept it if I was looking for a daily driver at the time, and this new WRX is supposed to compare pretty favorably to the older STIs, so this is one of my top considerations. Plus, they seem relatively easy to get ahold of so there shouldn't be any issues with either doing a factory order or finding one on a dealer lot somewhere. Will definitely have to go take a closer look at one and at least sit in it to see if I really like it (don't know how feasible it would be to take a test drive now as we're in the middle of winter and I believe these come with summer-only tires).

      You can't go wrong with a sporty Civic like an Si, especially if you get in in a Manual. It's good on gas, fun to drive, and has a history of being reliable. It also has decent space and is easy to see out of. Also, because it's FWD you'll be able to drive it in not so great weather. The WRX takes that up a notch as it's AWD but isn't as reliable as a Honda IMO and for some reason they seem to be cop magnets.

      @@thullraven1 I like the Civic SI, but living in northwestern Pennsylvania I would need features like heated seats, which we don't get on the U.S. model. Also, they seem to be near impossible to find without markup. I would consider the Honda Civic Hatch Touring model, which also is available with a manual and has all the features I'd want such as the heated seats and steering wheel, wireless Android Auto, etc. However, my front runner (if I'm going for something that's not so performance oriented) is the Mazda 3 hatch with a manual. Fantastic interior with most of the creature comforts and amenities I'd want in a daily driver; it's got a good, naturally aspirated engine, and it also looks the best out of all of these, in my opinion. Currently the two front runners are the Mazda 3 or the WRX, and I keep waffling between the two depending on my mood!

    It's a Japanese car is the reason I would not ever buy one. (But it's BMW powered) I guess I'm just dating myself. (age) I'm 63. I'm still driving my LT1. It's vary American and looks the part, I need that on the American roads.

      I'm a former Corvette guy (68 and 2001). I also rented a 2022 C8 Corvette. The Supra is smaller, lighter, and much more efficient. The C8 is faster and less reliable (transmissions have been problematic.), but is almost too big for my garage. In addition, GM makes 30,000/year, meaning they are much more common than Supras.
