I love how Toyota’s GR line still includes manual transmissions for all its cars. I think they should still be an option in their performance packages for any manufacture. It’s not always about 0-60 times.
Most buyers want an automatic, hence why the manuals have become some uncommon. The market dictates it. There are only around 3 dozen or so models sold with manual in US, and slightly more in Canada.
@@XenoRacing the problem also is that manufactures think that people only want a manual as a cheaper alternative to an automatic. So only the base model will have a manual option, but dealers always try and upsell to higher trims, or they want the performance packages that only offer automatics. And that’s even if the dealers get a manual for their innovatory. It becomes a self fulfilling idea that no one wants automatics, when in reality is that the cars they want manuals in never offer them. Like I would love the Subaru Impreza RS to have an optional manual. But they don’t.
That statement would be correct if we were still living in the '80's. Since we're not living in the '80's anymore for quite a few decades the automatic transmissions outperform the manual in every way. And that sorry excuse of it being more involving is just a fantasy which all those wannabe racecar drivers would like you to believe. And that's basically the focus group that still prefers a manual over an automatic, people stuck in the '80's and wannabe racecar drivers.
I'm 26, trying to teach my friends. Most of them are convinced they're gonna instantly blow up my car even though I didn't know what I was doing when I started either. The few that do get it way quicker then I ever did, mostly because I teach it better then my parents ever did. Not that my parents don't know what they're doing, I just remember what it was like having no idea what was going on.
The percentage of people who know how to drive manual is always seeming to be dropping more and more. I've known how to drive manual since I was 14 and I'm 35 now.
This already the answer for the Nizmo Z because this already has lots of features more like magnetic ride, a better manual, full leather and a better motor.
I've been waiting for *this* review. I mean a review of GR Supra MT by Sarah - 14 minutes of condensed information, all on point.👌 I'd also choose GR86 over Supra - better fun per💲ratio. Also it's the one I can actually afford. P.S. Subaru announced 2024 BRZ tS - a cousin to 2024 GR86 Trueno.
I just detailed one of these! What a cool car. Just hard for anyone over 5’8” to get in smoothly. You have to adopt a new entrance and exit strategy so you don’t hit your head.
The cool feature of the “station buttons” is that they are like short cut buttons for everything. I used them for phone contacts, screen on/off and radio etc.
Hey Sarah, i’m glad you like the manual. I was impressed with all the work Toyota did to get that manual right. and couldn’t agree more about the steering wheel the wheel is a big part of the character of the car, but in this case just isn’t right, I would definitely go aftermarket and I don’t really like doing that but I’ve seen some really nice wheels that definitely improve the look of the interior. And you nailed it again absolutely the 86 for half the money thereabouts , I want a supra But the 86 is definitely the smarter thing to do we shall see have a great one🐧🐧🐧👍
While the general public is gambolling in the comments section here, Sarah is probably ice blasting the other Supra... Also, you can call this car names, but it's exterior design is freaking awesome! Fell in love with it from the first sight. Now with a manual it's legitimately become my dream car.
The high temp in Tucson on the day this video was posted was 106°F. Previous two days were 108 & 109. Perfect time to be ice blasting the underside of a vehicle!
So, the manual Supra is even more fun than the automatic. In other shocking news, dogs bark, it's hot in July and it rained again in New England 😁 I guess you'd need to go to Colorado to really test out that uphill hairpin turn function - I found plenty of them when I took a road trip there last year. I really like the color of this one, and it sounds great, too. Great review, and looking forward to more videos on the other Supra along with the V-8 Celica!
I wish Toyota would have developed their own car. I drive a Toyota now and love it. Used to have a pre-plastic BMW, loved that too.. but theres no way im dealing with the money pits theyve been putting out for the past 20+ years.
I wish every car manufacturer would offer manual transmissions for their sports cars. Sometimes the driving experience is more important than quarter mile times
Go Sarah, Go! Its fun to watch you take these cars out on the road. You have a great handle on the performance of all these cars. Thank you for your savy reviews!!
Great review, but do have to correct you, the B58 gen2 here does not have Toyota D4-S. D4-S meant it is direct and port, this only has direct, no port injection sadly.
I own a 2017 BMW M2 and I recognize many bits and buttons from my car, especially on the dash board. You can look at it in one of two ways: either it's tried and true or it's outdated.
You can definitely change the chunky steering wheel to a sport wheel. That’s the same wheel they offered on regular 3 series. The 3 spoke sport wheel is much better. 😉👍🏻 I’d take the new Z. It’s a bit more old school. 👏🏻😎
Been trying since the summer to buy a manual transmission supra in red/orange/yellow and none are available without a significant markup. I can afford the markup, but I can't justify it when I'm already driving around in an M4 CS which had zero markup, and I'm not looking to trade the car, but add the M4 to the household.
I really miss my GR Supra (automatic). It was such a great drive. Very fast, and very practical as a daily with the hatchback. It's looks also garnered a LOT of attention (and comments of 'nice BMW').
Haven't even started the video. And the answer 'has' to be: Of course it is better. As in: more engaging and visceral. [crossing fingers and pressing "play"]. :D My FSM, that color on that body is fantastic. Love those dark blues.
To save gas I used to drive in the highest gear possible without the engine bogging/dying. My complaints--wind buffeting, the trunk release, the funky wheel lugs when you have to change tires, the brake dust build up on the rims, & the high-pitched BMW horn.
"Blue-pra." @Sarah -n- Tuned, have you considered a super-cut of Sarah-isms? Your way with wordplay (heat-ilated, shport, hairy cardboard, carefuling, etc) is part of what makes your channel so fun!
Nice! Manual transmission should be an option on all of their vehicles, wish I had one in my 4Runner. I like to be in control of shift changes not a computer.
I traded my Supra mainly due to this AT not bad but I miss the direct connection with the drive train. The engine is torquay but hates to be pushed over 5500 rpm, ideally it revs between 2 and 4000 rpm.
@@michaelbrinks8089no,the i6 in the mk5s more reliable as and stronger than the V6 in the Z. Seen more people have more issues with the Nissan V6 than I have with people with the I6 in the mk5.
Yeah I felt the same way dumped Supra for the GR86 to tight in the Supra & Toyota answer to Nismo is the M3- M4 Competition engine and by the way your hair looked incredible I don’t know why
My first car was an ‘85 Supra with a manual. Loved loved loved it. But if I were in the market for a FunCar, I have to agree about getting a GR86. Manual, of course. I do want to drive a Supra, though!
Manual transmissions can be super fun and all and my Ranger, Altima, and three motorcycles (and four bicycles) have them but irregardless they SUCK when I'm stuck in stop and go traffic. Except for the bicycles but that's a different story.
I liked that you compared it back to the GR86 and that you’d rather have the GR86. Since I have a GR86 MT, it’s very reassuring from a RUclips content producer I respect very much.
I really love this car and I'd have one right now, but they cost two whole Miatas and I just can't do it. I'd love to get a MKIII in stock form just to enjoy.
In Australia weve learnt not to even try to buy a new Toyota. They literally have a banner on every page of their website saying it will take years to recieve a new Toyota. Same issue elsewhere?
Wow 2.75 inch diameter exhaust. My q60 has a stock diameter of 1.5inches paired with a massive muffler, and 4 cats. I hate it when people say it sounds like a Dyson vacuum 😢
Im trying to get Jimmy Oakes to make a side quest to Az to tune your MR2...i want you to be able to properly enjoy that car...plus its a collab we would enjoy!!
Another excellent review Sarah. Love the burble and pops ! The braking tests are always a favorite ! Hope you don't scramble your brains too much haha. Curious about the repair costs and reliability as a lot of the components are BMW. LIke the engine. A Toyota engine will last forever. Will this one?
I’m a bit surprised that Sarah gave this a significantly higher maintenance score than the IS500. This is half BMW while the IS500 is almost all Toyota.
so I'm thinking about buying a supra but I never had a manual car in my life... I do know how to drive stick ( kinda, still need more practice). I do need to daily it, so if the MT is better than the auto, should i just go MT?
What side is the indicator on ? Is long gearing a way to protect the applied gear box. Is the pursuit of slick shifting in the expensive " budget sports car" creating long gears .
Hi Sarah, would be nice to see you test and share your thoughts of driving this car back to back with the new Nissan Z and also the new Beemer M2. Would be great to see.
Nice vid Sarah. I have seen these cars on the road, i like their look for sure. Surprised it has a Bmer engine. I’ve known those engines to be generally reliable but expensive to maintain.

@@wild_lee_coyotebut can you drive without a rev-match option? Boi
It's not about whether or not it is quicker or anything else. It's about how it makes you feel. Sum it up, every vehicle is better with stick shift!
I wish Lexus made the IS in manual!!!
Yes a manual does lead to fun.
Especially in a sports car. 😊

@@Euroburgeror just car enthusiasts
It's a shame that so many people under 35 don't know the pleasures of a manual transmission. Another well crafted review from you.
And a lot of people under that age that have driven them either, don't know how to drive it properly, or complain about the clutch
I'm 26, trying to teach my friends. Most of them are convinced they're gonna instantly blow up my car even though I didn't know what I was doing when I started either.
The few that do get it way quicker then I ever did, mostly because I teach it better then my parents ever did. Not that my parents don't know what they're doing, I just remember what it was like having no idea what was going on.
I’d drop that number by a good 10-15.
The percentage of people who know how to drive manual is always seeming to be dropping more and more. I've known how to drive manual since I was 14 and I'm 35 now.
A manual transmission is actually a theft deterrent these days....
This is turning into Sarah- n-Supra.

The manufacturing industry needs to see just how well done your videos are when you review vehicles.

I just detailed one of these! What a cool car. Just hard for anyone over 5’8” to get in smoothly. You have to adopt a new entrance and exit strategy so you don’t hit your head.
And Sarah is like 6 foot tall, 6'3" with her high healed sneakers.
Sarah has the best car reviews on the net love your channel Sarah❤

Are the gears long ?

My Sarah score is 9.4.
Lovely today!!
So glad they did a 6m. Nice pointing out the little details.
You should rate breaking by measuring the angle above horizontal your hair achieves under max braking such as 22 degrees above horizontal.
I wish Toyota would have developed their own car. I drive a Toyota now and love it. Used to have a pre-plastic BMW, loved that too.. but theres no way im dealing with the money pits theyve been putting out for the past 20+ years.

1:35. Start up headlight effect vs camera autofocus is a story itself.
I got my Celica Supra shirt today!!! nice quality and soft!!

Great review, but do have to correct you, the B58 gen2 here does not have Toyota D4-S. D4-S meant it is direct and port, this only has direct, no port injection sadly.
it's legit how hard it is to choose between the new RZ34 , and these Supras. Fantastic review as always.
Wow. I haven’t watched one of Sarah’s videos in a while until this one. Great review. You’ve come so far in the past couple of years.
Your expression when shifting gears is priceless
Love your car reviews Sarah, keep up the great work 👍🏻

So you can make that cool fast and furius floor slamming sound when you switch gears.
It’s kind of odd how we have such a problem of plastics everywhere even micro plastics in the rain, but yet we continue to do more stuff in plastic.
hey Sarah. In1985 Lisa & I could have upgraded to the Celica GT. Fender Flairs & more tire. The Supra was stunning this year.

Love to see u testing the Nissan Z. I hope soon.

Big deal.
Nice!
Manual transmission should be an option on all of their vehicles, wish I had one in my 4Runner.
I like to be in control of shift changes not a computer.
Second that. My '12 Xterra is a stick and I can't imagine it without a manual.
The sound and cadence of the shifts feel so satisfying compared to the auto version we have at home. Handling is stellar on this Supra.
I traded my Supra mainly due to this AT not bad but I miss the direct connection with the drive train. The engine is torquay but hates to be pushed over 5500 rpm, ideally it revs between 2 and 4000 rpm.
Driving manual is for enjoying.
Although I admit that it sucks for traffic jam.
I’m much more a Sara fan than a Supra fan. Still want to see her in ZR-6 Corvette , giving IT the beans.
Nice job Sara , you’re still #1 in my book !
I often heard that BMW engine plastic loves to get brittle and break way too soon.
That’s the least of the problems those engines have.
They do. The rubber they use is sub par also, you replace a lot of o-rings and gaskets.
@@darkchild130 I'm no expert but think the 2023 Nissan Z will hold up better than the Toyota/BMW Supra.

AWE makes a foiler wind diffuser for the GR Supra that eliminates the wind buffeting issue. $99 and the problem is solved in a matter of minutes.
Manual transmissions can be super fun and all and my Ranger, Altima, and three motorcycles (and four bicycles) have them but irregardless they SUCK when I'm stuck in stop and go traffic. Except for the bicycles but that's a different story.
Glad the autorev is easy to turn off. I had a Miata for a while that I drove through the mountains and it is so much fun to blip the engine yourself.
Great content Sarah, you have come a helluva long way in your discussions
I liked that you compared it back to the GR86 and that you’d rather have the GR86. Since I have a GR86 MT, it’s very reassuring from a RUclips content producer I respect very much.
There is something really cool about the way Toyota gives you every flavor of Supra to check out.
Just something random, but I like how there is a little person on the clutch and brake pedals doing squats.
Sarah, you seemed have fun @ 5:57
Happy to see a test of a manual car, not too many around anymore sadly.
I really love this car and I'd have one right now, but they cost two whole Miatas and I just can't do it.

Toyota did a great job tuning the BMW bits to make them sound like a supra.
The exhaust has a nice cackle to it makes gear changes sound mean...
What side is the indicator on ?
Is long gearing a way to protect the applied gear box.
Is the pursuit of slick shifting in the expensive " budget sports car" creating long gears .
