The Toyota Supra - Is The Auto Version THAT BAD!? (JDM Legends Tour Pt. 10)

Owner Jamie kindly brought me his Twin Turbo Supra to review. I've never been a massive Supra fan, but I wouldn't turn down the opportunity to drive such an iconic car.

However, this vehicle was fitted with the four speed automatic transmission - so how would it fare when driven across country roads that were ideally suited to a sporty car?

The Toyota Supra Automatic is a pure joy. The main reason people talk trash is because they are continuing a rumor they have no real substantial evidence to support it. Kids just opening their mouth up just to open their mouth while they themselves own a Kia. I own both a manual and automatic and the automatic is amazing.

Never knew the auto box was actually decent on these. All i’ve ever heard is people slagging it off!

This supra is modified perfectly. Looks incredible

I have an automatic Supra TT and it's amazing!

Automatics do have their advantages. They tend to be much more consistent in bracket racing, for example. And this is comming from a guy who really ❤'s his 6spd manual for the street.

I just got insured on my new car yesterday with Adrian Flux (1998 JDM Subaru Legacy GTB Twin Turbo 280bhp version)
They quoted me quite a bit cheaper than the lowest quote I could find on Compare The Market. The representative was great, and was clearly into cars himself. Talked about my EP3 and the new legacy for a good while. Highly recommend them, especially if you have modified cars/imports ect.

Excellent video and I love to see a confident relaxed and knowledgeable owner. I learned a lot. Thank you both.

Fantastic review and video mate. I used to own a UK model Toyota Celica Gt4 a few years ago and was a superb car. The gentleman I used to service it is a Toyota enthusiastic and owns a Supra too. Very underrated car!

[Ceffman]

Great video, very informative and well documented.
One point I would like to refute is the 2jz vs 2jz vvti argument. Both 2jz engines share the same internals, the VVTi has been proven to reach the same power levels as a non vvti engine. If anything the VVTi is superior as it offers better low down torque and can be setup to spool a turbo faster if drag racing.

Awesome to see some places I recognise and have driven through many a time myself!

Shirt selection on point 👍 cool video man, keep it up

[nikb]

Very nice insight into another JDM legend. Keep it up!

[MrSunnyBhoy]

great review and great car. I preferred your style back then as opposed to now. You seem to be super critical of cars on things I feel are more subjective rather than big issues.

[adyuk]

It's not just the country lanes it's all roads potholes everywhere lol makes me wonder what we pay road tax for

[scanspeak]

I thought you were going to say the confetti carpet reminded you of your shirt.

I must say, as the owner of a MKIII Auto, the only thing I would change on the car is the auto box. Its not terrible as they go, but a 4 speed auto mated to a 3 litre turbo charged engine does not make for any discernable fuel economy.

Granted, it could be argued that its not the sort of car you should buy if you have any sort of fuel economy concerns, but i cant help but think if it didn't have a 30 year old auto box in the mix i'd be considerably better off financially 😂

Love these. A black one with the t-bar would be in my dream garage.

[bambychoi]

Really enjoying your videos mate. Keep up the good work!

[crooky]

Stunning cars the Supra's, dont look old even now.

I've got pretty much the same car. Factroy TT with a/t and I was impressed with how it behaves. Very good gearbox. Still - I'm just finishing putting 6-speed. Better expirience for sure.

Mine is very similar spec. Also facelift but without tiptronic/vvti and in the same colour
