2023 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 Premium (Manual) - POV First Impressions

Toyota has listened! We've all been asking for a 6 cylinder MKV Supra with a 6 speed manual, and here it is. But is this ZF transmission any good?

Love your review style man. You're very perceptive/insightful. After owning the A91-MT for about a month now, I agree with pretty much everything you said.

I’d love to try a manual Supra! Looking forward to the comparison with a Cayman. I think for less money I’d prefer a used 981 S Cayman but for the power hungry the Supra seems to have unlimited potential with mods 💪

POV video is very West Coast Tedward with familiar roads. 11/10 would recommend

[joerobinson]

Waiting for an allocation...hopefully soon!

Could not agree more on the fake vents SMH. Don’t the twins have functional vents?! Other than that, it is quite appealing!

[adrianen]

Just wish there is more inventory for this car!!!!

[neloviolence]

In regards to the fake vents, it's probably there to help with gas efficiency. It would be nice if they offered a functional sport option that deletes the fakes for something more useable. But then again, we'd probably want something that tested how effective these vents are for brakes and aerodynamics as they appear to be designed for aesthetics firsthand.

Good review. If I didn’t already have a two-seater, and did not need a back seat, I’d probably swap my 6-speed M2C for a 6-speed Supra. When and where possible, a smaller chassis and lighter curb weight is always preferable! Good content, Fenton.

Engine stop/start on a manual sports car?! That’s an immediate no-buy.

[finboyYYC]

i'm surprised there isn't an aftermarket solution to replace all the faux-vents with functional units. My understanding was that was the thought process toyota had when they first launched the supra but doesn't sound like there is an obvious source yet?

[GTcrazy]

Any chance of a Supra vs Nissan Z comparison?

[shahrukhbakar]

Toyota makes a better BMW than BMW does

[naten]

Do a real world fuel mileage test. Can you get over 30mpg on a 50-100mile highway loop?

[s.a.i.v]

Am i the only one thinks 6500rpm is disappointing

[acarenthusiast]

How does this compared to a used Porsche 997?

[MiLLz]

How is the shifting is it short or long?

[ricepony]

From a track perspective these cars really move out, we have some in one of our endurance series and it’s supra impressive with minimal work.

[Koboldius]

i don't know why the fake vents are such a big deal on the supra. yes, they are there but on which car are they not? Maybe Porsche. I prefer the fake vents on the door and bonnet instead of fake exhaust pipes or giant plastic grilles, like at the rear of the new RS3. Also nice car. I ordered a manual Supra in white myself.

Enjoyed the pov review! But the camera might be too high. Feels claustrophobic seeing so much headliner though

[thomasz]

Subscribed! Love the new format. Just a couple of issues from making it perfect. You can try to position your seat so that it's much more leaned back than normal. Right now, the POV feels like it's above your head and the camera is framing a lot of the headliner. If the POV is lower and further back it would feel a lot more like what the driver would see. Also, having the right audio setup makes a huge difference to POV vids. I feel like you are just using one lav mic for your voice. Those are great for capturing voice and diminishing the ambient sound. I think you'll need a second audio capture just for the ambient sound, I can barely hear the engine over your voice right now. Looking forward to seeing some sick canyon drive POVs, you were always one of the better drivers out there with a great lineup of cars. Best of luck man!
