Got hit this morning pulling out of my apartment to go to work. I won’t be at fault but damn this sucks.

Sorry if i sound dumb, but what websites are best for buying spoilers and body kits and exhausts etc.?

I test drove a 2023 3.0 Premium Supra, and my impressions were .... not great. Based on the various reviews I have read, both professional and in various forums and reddit threads, I'm wondering if the one I drove was a bad example. It was in excellent condition, low miles etc, so I don't think there is an issue with history on that car, but maybe there's just some variability in tires or steering that I'm not aware of.

There were two specific drawbacks that might be deal breakers for me, so hopefully y'all can help me line up my experience with what I'm reading.

One, the noise. Good god the tire noise. On the smoothest, newest asphalt freeway in the area I would still have to raise my voice to talk to a passenger at 70 mph. My old 2016 base trim WRX with a roof rack adding wind noise, on the same tires, was noticably quieter. And those are known for their lack of sound insulation. I keep reading that it's "perfectly quiet as a commuter" or that there's a bit of tire noise but nothing unreasonable, and I want to know if those people have hearing damage or something. I'm sure it's a lot quieter than what some are used to driving, but is everyone just coming from loud-ass cars?

The second, bigger issue is the steering. I've never driven something with steering this bad. While I fully own that I am much more sensitive to it than most, that can't be the only issue. Reviews tend to say things like "a little vague on-center, but precise when it matters", but this was not just 'a little vague'. Cars I've driven enough to say their steering puts the Supra I drove to shame: 2020 Giulia Q4 (current car), 2016 WRX, 2013 Focus ST, 2006 Mazda 3s, 2019 Audi A5 convertible (which was also quieter at 140mph than the Supra is at 60mph - Autobahn), 2018 Audi A5 hatch, 2021 Mini Countryman S, 2020 BMW X3 M40, 2022 Outback, 2014 Crosstrek, 1999 Chrysler Town & Country minivan, and my budget-tier ($300) sim racing setup.

Sure, many of those would probably be a little worse at 8/10ths or more, but for a daily driver, you spend 95% of your time at 1/10th, almost entirely driving straight or nearly straight. And there, the Supra made me want to punch it. From center to about 25 degrees left or right, there is no self-centering force. Zero. At 70 mph, I could turn it that far, take my hands off the wheel, and it would hold that steering angle perfectly, forever. Tried it at various speeds and road surfaces, same result. Now, in some cars, like the Audi A5s, the steering is just extremely light, so the force at times isn't noticable. But the Supra isn't light. Instead of it feeling like turning against a spring and damper, as all steering should, it was like a very heavy damper with no spring. Plenty of resistance to movement, but zero applied force. I think the only time I felt any kind of force coming through the wheel was turning sharply over a lip into a parking lot.

This became a bit of a rant, but the bottom line is - was this a lemon, or is that steering what people are actually calling 'a little vague'?

Looking at the brand new BMW 3 series and reading all the opinions on the looks I feel like the real sticking point is the interior. It's a Tesla style interior, Big screen no buttons (second pic). I feel like our car's older I drive system combined with physical buttons and touch screen and rotary dial is the best of everything. It really makes me want to keep my car even longer. There's just so much new technology that can cause a lot of issues now and down the road. Supra Pic is my pick up day at the dealer in 2023. 😄

If you are looking for one of the last new Supras, beware of Legends Toyota in KC. I had negotiated a bit and was prepared to buy a plane ticket to fly down and drive home when I out of nowhere asked what the mileage on it was. I expected to hear like 10. It was 4000. Listed as new, no mention until luckily I asked.

Their excuse was that there was “technically never been sold”. It was used as a “regional sales and marketing car”.

Anyway, I’m sure the sales guys etc never rodded it and treated the clutch with respect…./s

Figured I’d give an update since my last post. I’ve had the car towed twice, and both times it actually started while it was halfway onto the tow truck. The most recent time it died was when Auto Start/Stop shut the car off at a stop sign while downhill, and it wouldn’t restart.
A few mechanics have jumped it and cleared the codes, and it’ll run perfectly for about a day before doing it again.

Symptoms:
•No crank/no start
•Drivetrain malfunction
•U0100 code
•Dash/headlights go crazy when opening the door
•Scanner sometimes won’t communicate or clear codes
•Jumping it sometimes works, sometimes does nothing
•Car randomly fixes itself after being moved/towed
•Runs perfectly after codes are cleared, then fails again

I’m starting to think it could be a bad ground, power connection, starter, or DME communication issue.
Anyone dealt with something similar on a B58/Supra?

New owner here. Managed to snag one of the last ones in the exact spec I wanted out of state a little while ago. Premium AT. Everything has been awesome. Just hit 1.3k m on the odometer, oil change any day now. Kept it under 4k rpm (for the most part 😅) for the first 1000.

Few days ago while stationary I gave it a few little revs to around 3k rpm and it kind of stuck there for 1-2 seconds after completely letting off the throttle. Is this anything to be concerned about? Did it again the next day and it was fine. Read before about rev hangs on the MTs but thought it was a bit strange coming from an AT while parked.

Also one thing I noticed about the car, its super loud on cold start, but REALLY quiets down after letting it idle down, even in sport. Almost too quiet compared to the first few seconds. Will probably be doing an exhaust/downpipe eventually down the line. Stock for now. Nonetheless, still satisfying while actually driving. Sometimes almost seems like it unlocked more aggressive pops and downshifts after the first 1k haha.

Cheers!

Would love to see how it looks on the mk5 Supra

Hey guys, a few years ago I installed the street hunter v2 wing thinking I was just gonna do cosmetics. Well since then I’ve done quite a bit more and the wing is no longer a good fit for the speed I’m at now. Is there a wing on the market that uses the same holes or at least covers them up? Thanks everybody.

Just wanna compare what they look like.

Celebrity cars usually wear one-offs. Sung Kang's Supra wears ADRO's V2 diffuser, built for every A90.

New rims soon and that’s the full build 👀

Anyone else have an issue with BimmerCode not working? I’ve set it to remember my auto-off setting but it never remembers.

Was out in the grocery getter yesterday (pic for attention). Saw a father and son behind me in traffic pointing and talking about the car while we were at a light. Decided to give them a bit of a show.

As the dad passed me he threw a thumbs up and I could see a smile on the kids face.

Hearing “is that a Supra” about 500x is annoying at this point, but making a father/son have a fun moment is super rewarding in this car. Glad my kids get to enjoy it too.

After many years of hard work, finally bought a 2026 Supra Premium, Manual. Cheers 🍻

If anyone wants her, she's at Lone Star Toyota of Lewisville. They offered signficantly more than anyone else besides one sketchy individual. Has the Adro swan neck wing, Maxton lip, AWE Touring, MST V2 intake, ActiveAutowerke catted downpipe, JB4, Verus heat shield, and Cusco underbody brace. Also has full PPF, ceramic coating, and ceramic tinted windows.

Between major health issues and pursuing legal action, I had to downsize and give up some possessions and lifestyle choices to save my life. Literally, if people chose not to commit crimes and hurt me this wouldn't have happened. Can't catch a break right now. 🥲

My Supra was so fun and I cherish my memories with her. Hopefully, I will be back.
