The Manual Supra was worth waiting for! (Toyota GR Supra 6MT 2023 Review)

Full review of the new 2023 Toyota Supra A90 manual with engine upgrade, including handling, power, torque, ride, price and features.

At last, you can get a Toyota GR Supra with a six-speed manual transmission option. A recent engine upgrade also means it now makes 285kW of power (382 hp) in stock form from its BMW B58 3.0-litre turbo straight-six petrol engine.

So, should you consider a Supra manual if you’re looking to pick up a two-seat sports car?

The 2023 Supra competes against other sporty vehicles like the Nissan Z, Porsche 718 Cayman, BMW M240i, Mercedes CLA and a number of others.

It’s a bang for the buck proposition for me. My Supra was loaded off the boat today. Compared to a Porsche Cayman or M2 it’s a no brainer with the Toyota holding better warranty (extends to 7 years with Toyota servicing) and service costs actually capped at $385 at the time of purchase.

Better than a cayman in terms of pricing

I was so hoping for a manual Supra when it was announced. Didn't think it would ever come out with a self shifter so ended up buying a lightly used M2 CS instead. Close enough I guess.

Pretty cool spot for the initial part of the video. Not sure how you were able to block the road. PS. the interior already feels old...ahh toyota.

The (A90) Supra is so, so great! Even after 3 or 4 years I am still deeply in love with it 🥰❤️ Of course since then, the GR 86 was introduced and I love that even more, but this is a close second 🥰❤️

@chasingcars do you think it’s worthy to ever do a review of the lighting of cars? Interior by night? I’m finding it to be an overlooked issue, which often you do not find out until after purchase. E.g the poorly lit Nissan Pathfinder.

Making money is an action. Keeping money is behavior. Growing money is knowledge..
Even with the current dip in the market I'm still glad I can smile back at my portfolio of $12, 500 built from my weekly trade.

The fact that this is a BMW puts me off completely

Hoping this drives the already depreciated Zf8 model even more,

[wayneh]

i think the supra is better looking than the Z, in my opinion, I love the curves

[RedPanda]

I don’t get why people dislike the BMW origin so much? Isn’t paying for a Toyota and getting a BMW instead, like paying for mince and getting wagyu?

[kieranmccann]

Would you, fast 4 and Rota man back in the day. Manual supra or new gr 86 manual for driver enjoyment/second car ?🍻

[hondacar]

You may say that the Z is prettier, however, the styling of the Supra to me has more of the wow factor.

How did you get this one in front of Tom?!?

Does he not have a manual licence ;)

As a person who had worked in Toyota as a OJT, the cabin of this supra is claustrophobic compared to Mk4 which is spacious

[CathodeRayNipplez]

I've never seen one in real life. I live in regional Au. Not a breeder bus.
