It's very nice to drive, the standard seats are probably the best i've ever sat in for a factory item and the suspension, whilst providing a lot of grip is also pretty compliant for our roads.

I'd actually recommend booking a test drive at your local Toyota dealer as you will probably find it quite interesting. There are a lot of people saying it's underpowered and yes it wouldn't hurt to have a little more power but IMO it has enough power off the forecourt to have fun and the aftermarket for this car is already massive.

I ve watched reports that say exactly the same a very smart package is what most people are saying and I ve also read about all the after market mods turbo chargers super chargers suspension exhausts.. I can not believe how quick they have manufactured these parts a good sign if tuning companies are investing they also must also like the car have you seen the rocket bunny bodykits over the top imo but such a lot of people rave about them. would you consider modding in the future and what would you mod ?

I'm not likely to modify mine much as it's my daily driver and and money I spend on modifying that means i have less to spend on the Supra or MR2.

The most i'm ever likely to do is de-cat and airfilter.

ok I'll try to sort something but I dont have a soop atm I still have the 350z and I dont really want to track it I get 8mpg! and its slow.
kinda torn between a mx5 for a year of track fun with no worries if I crash and save a bit more or to go for a supra and be a bit more careful on track
plus theres not many 97 onward supras around at the moment what do you think of the sva supra with the big wing its been there for ages

Don't hurry as the MR2 just failed its' MOT today.
Thankfully just needs some rusty edges on the drivers door sorting and a new CAT.

I don't like the styling on that Supra at SVA, but it has some nice parts on it. Do you know the mileage?

sorry to hear about the mr2 I am not too keen on the styling either I think I am gonna get a cheap mx5 to track for 6 months or so and continue saving then start looking again and I need to sell my 350 soon my insurance runs out mid Feb let me know when when the mr2 is ready and hopefully Ill have the mx5 by then and we can have a day at Brands.
