Paul Maric you are the best car reviewer in Australia, keep up the good work!

[tylerhaines]

Things i most love about this channel

The selection of cars and just the Honesty... no sugar coating or BS, its just straight to the point and covers the main bits we all need to know, its not too little information and its not too much information

Keep up the great work Paul and I hope to see this channel pass 100k and maybe, just maybe get on the road to a Million

Agree with all. I fixed buffeting myself quite easily but no Apple Car Play is insane. The influx of demos was great for us as we paid 85K incl stamp duty and rego for a Sep 2019 plate car with 550km on the clock a year later. Saved 20K on a GTS with alcantara vs new. Lost a year of warranty but with 550km, might as well have been new. Launch control is total garbage, more so now with an extra 150hp, so launch in 2nd with everything off against the foot brake. Much better

Please do 0-62 mph of every car you review..

The problem with the resale of the Supra, is the same problem it’s had from the beginning. It’s not a Toyota. Every Toyota sports car suffers from a built in problem from the start, the gt 86 not powerful enough the gr yaris is too ugly. Biggest problem is people that buy Bmw’s want everybody to know they own one and aren’t interested in how good it drives. Ps about your Tesla are you disappointed how cheap it looks inside and out. I would still buy the Supra over the Tesla.

[yamKenny]

if Toyota keep updating the car will just blend in every day and the joy of it just disappear. Look how many new GTR from Nissan are release out the past year. Also Paul have you try out Subaru WRX Sti? I just like to get your review and opinion on it and the specs from both WRX and WRX STI

[smoothasbrothers]

#7 it’s not a GR Yaris 😅

Sorry Paul !

[michaelrodrigues]

These are all valid points Paul, I believe Toyota has let you down as a customer.

"6 things I hate about my BMW"

There, I fixed rhe title for you.

[perrysolomon]

Thanks for this. The only things that might bother me would be the wind buffeting and the dim screen

Welcome to the world of BMW!!!

1. Wind buffeting is quite common on quite a few BMWs.
2. Sound system has always been average on BMWs... despite JBL or Harman/Kardon (same company)
3. Think screen brightness is very specific to Supra..
4. That's really poor from Toyota Australia
5. Launch control on the ZF gearbox is quite average... I had a M235i a few years back with a tune... and I struggled to get to claimed times... it's often faster NOT using LC.
6. Think it is the general case for cars in this price range, especially euro brands! It's a massive problem I have with Audi, Mercedes, BMWs. M2 competition was $120k rrp all those people who jumped in at the start had no discounts... after 6-12 months, you could get one heavily discounts at high $90s or low 100 (but people who don't know it's common to get 20% off gets screwed as well). It screws with customers resale value. People who put their cars on carsales now is struggling to sell... as they took 20k off their purchase price... but unknowing to them people pay 20% less only a few months after them... or they can get a brand new one for the same price. So there are people who paid 120k and people who paid 100k... probably same year model... and both have their cars on carsales for 90k... one will lose 30k after 18 months and other 10k.

Unlike Tesla or Porsche... nothing is discounted ever!! So car holds it's true value, rather than distorted value.

Why would you ever drive with the window down? It uses more fuel. If you want fresh air there’s a ventilation system. If you want cool or hot air there’s aircon and a heater. Aircon uses about the same extra fuel as having a window down ~11% more.

If you buy a car worrying about it depreciating - you shouldn’t buy a car. They all depreciate. They are not an investment unless very rare or very old or both. Just but they car you love (and can afford) and enjoy it and who cares what it’s worth? I have never ever bought a car even thinking about resale. Never. And I’ve owned at least 15 cars.

I’ve owned a Toyota and driven many. I’d never own one again.

My A4 from 2014 has a better sat back system than my gle63s, companies are just being tight now

[AndrewThomson]

I have an M140i and without any doubt Sports+ starting from 2nd gear kills launch control every time. I’m sure it will be the same for the Supra.

[lamborghini]

So which car do you prefer, the Supra or the Model 3? 😃 Maybe you should do a video with them both in!

[honguenloh]

Wow Paul, you must be doing very well in this new channel of yours, buying 2 cars worth over aud$100k per car...well done & congrats!:)

[kted]

New cars stop.
Fortunately, I bought a launch edition GR Yaris
What depreciation...? 😉👍

[riversonthemoon]

Another problem with Toyota not protecting their used car price is with financing new cars. The residual value/balloon payment will have to be lower, increasing monthly payments and making the car affordable for fewer people, and possibly impacting a potential buyer’s decision when comparing with other cars which can be financed more cheaply. So not good for owners, and not good for Toyota.

[johnnumbat]

Nice drive Paul with refreshing honesty from a motoring journo - I’ve owned a WRX, Nissan Godzilla, BRZ and a vintage Supra which I thought for the little tech it had was a fun drivers car with that beautiful six-cylinder note and non-turbo horsepower. Toyota is a ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ brand as it consistently holds world leading reliability and practicality status but a scrooge on fitment options and functions as you stated with the info system - for a price tag that is BS! - the buffeting also occurred with my 2004 XT Turbo Forester but easily fixed - yes the depreciation is cruel but I got lucky with the Nissan Godzilla - now I’m a pedestrian Hilux owner due to changing lifestyle and a vehicle choice deal-breaker for me was safe placement of cup holders in right side upper dash 👍🏻 - look forward to your 2021 content - John in SA.

Good content piece, anyone can read a brochure or regurgitate a manufacturers spec list, but it's the day to day driving that gives an owner some value of their purchase, which you captured well here for the Supra. I thoroughly enjoyed the depth of your recent Carnival review (currently have one on order) but it was very evident that you wouldn't be the type of individual to actually purchase one (which is fine) but you miss some of the 'features' that may be of benefit or even cause issues for those wanting to live with the day to day of the vehicle.
