Is It Game Over For The Toyota Supra? 2021 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 Premium Review

The 2021 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 Premium is a fantastic sports car, however, based on rumors and leaks on the upcoming Nissan Z, there most likely will be a better performance car buy out there. But before we crown the next Nissan Z as the one to buy, let's take a look at what kind of driving experience you can get with this 3.0 premium model, and why it might still be worth your hard earned dollars.

My last 2 sports cars had sticks, I don't miss it. The ZF transmission is a work of art. I can shift if I want or enjoy the drive.

Personally, the new Z looks ugly to me. I even looked at the new C8 corvette before buying the Supra. The Supra design looks best imo

The small sports car segment is heating up again. This is good. More competition should improve the performance of the future Supras.

Love Nissan of old but the B58 engine is vastly superior and can be easily tuned with mhd. The engine was also near bullet proof prior to the updates for the 2021. If you're going to buy and tune a MKV then get the 2020 until the ecu is unlocked for the 2021 or they sort out the oil issue, possibly in a 2022 model.

Agreed on the steering wheel- first thing to replace IMO.

Love my Supra 3.0 Premium! Can’t wait for the reviews on the new Z. Had a 300ZX and 350Z. Thanks for the video.

I was able to get a solid deal on a Supra 3.0 Premium last week in red and yes there are cars that perform better than it in areas at that price or a little more, but it's such an uncommon car and breaks lots of necks. So far I've only had positive reactions from people and kids would usually run up to it and go "ITS A SUPRA!!!". I've only seen one Supra in the wild and that was while driving mine and the other driver was also shocked haha. It just feels so special to drive and the wind buffeting issue is an easy $8 fix from Amazon. I drive it going 50+ with the windows down and it's crazy how well that solution works. There's a lot of easy tuning potential for it too although the ECU is currently locked on 2021 models from the 2nd half of 2020. Only car I drive and never listen to music because it sounds that much amazing. I'm sure the 400Z would be an excellent value car as well but cater a different audience more. I do like the retro-modern styling of it.

Wind buffeting is the opposite of a major problem... engine/trans is a major problem. Wind buffeting is about as minor as a problem can be and is very easily and cheaply resolved.

I find it funny alot of yall finding the most smallest things to bash the new Supra over. Its an overall great car and I have met some supra owners at various car meets and they love the car despite minor issues, they say its fun to drive and find exciting to take on backroads. Most owners I met have also told me they get alot of compliments too so that lets me know most of this hate on the 2020-2021 Supra is mainly online car If I can manage I will try to get a Toyota Supra as my 2nd car im impressed with it.

They’re both reliable and durable. I’d get it both hands down.

[brightsydebill]

I only would take the z because of the manual, if the Supra offers one, it takes the cake for me.

[barryritter]

The buffeting issue can be fixed 100% with aftermarket parts. My Camry has buffeting, my Dodge Ram has terrible buffeting and many other makes and models have buffeting issues. Fortunately, you can eliminate most of the issues by rolling down rear windows. I wish Toyota had added the necessary parts to the Supra but they didn’t. AMS has beautiful carbon fiber anti buffeting pieces for less than $200; they work great.

[nickchaconas]

Excited for the new Z but it will not out perform the Supra. Nissan Z with 400HP is probably putting down 340ish HP at the wheel. The Supra is making 388 at the wheel stock

Finally, review that answers their title. Subscribed..

[e_skie]

Hard to say what Z will be like until it arrives. Hoping the rumors are true about a manual for Supra. Supra is much better looking and 21 model also got new control arms too.

I'm 6'2 and I've never hit my head on the doorframe... if you're doing that at 5'8 then it sounds like 100% user error, lol

[samuelramos]

2 great Japanese cars we grew up loving as kids and now as adults super happy they brought both my favorite cars they are both beautiful and jdm so both are worth it🔥

[odinikita]

in relation to wind buffeting? easily solved by just putting some stuff in the hatch like a small backpack which i use anyway and when i roll down the window it is normal.

[dasmoove]

The Huge problem with BMW Vehicles is the use of Plastic for various internal and external components which have costly failures...That isn't the Toyota Way of Reliability/Durability and i doubt that during development were replaced with Die cast metal parts. There are plenty of videos about the shortcomings of all their Engines the last 15-20yrs....Too many new vehicles aren't made to be keep for past a decade or more with basic routine maintenance. And what is with mounting the engine with the cam & timing chain cover at the Firewall instead of the Front of the engine bay??

I am a Z fan owned a 1976 Datsun Z with the inline 6. When they went V6 it became very tight in the engine compartment. The new Supra is a inline 6 remove the airbox and the the Turbo and downpipe ( Catalytic converter ) is right there. The V6 on the hand good look. The original Z was inline 6 and bacause of that it had a very long nose not stretched to resemble the old Z or say 1972 Datsun Z was the best looking because it had small front and rear bumpers years after had larger bumpers for safety regulations in those days past.
