AndyMB Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I'm looking at buying a mk4 supra but a manual n/a version. I know it won't be that fast but it will be my daily driver. I've just always wanted a supra. My dad has an n/a R33 skyline I've driven a few times and it's lovely to drive. Does anyone have experience of what supras are like to live with?

Mr. Chem Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Ask scutch0 on here. He has an NA supra Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nick85 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I had an auto aero top N/a. I used to drive it daily for about 18months before I sold it to buy a Glanza. The supra is an awesome car to drive in my opinion and I'll get TT supra one day. The cockpit is great how it's all driver focused and the seating position is just like a go-kart. Boot space is pretty shocking though. You'll be looking at about £3000 for a decent manual N/a. Over all their a good solid car and if looked after will go on and on. However when they go wrong they usually cost a fortune to repair. Running an old 3.0l engine isn't cheap either I was seeing about 15mpg on a regular basis and the tank can take just shy £100 to fill from empty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stockrod Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I had a TT 6 speed manual. Vision is crap when reversing, speed humps was a nightmare traction was an issue and chavs always wanted a race. Good cars tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LDouble Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I used to have the TT slightly modified to 460 bhp. Great cars very reliable if your going for the auto the box is rated to upto 550-600 bhp. Only problem is as mentioned above idiots wanting to race you all the time & visibility. They are not too bad on petrol either it as much better than my CLK 320 on fuel. Oh and the brakes if standard are rubbish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndyMB Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Thanks for the advice guys. I definitely want an n/a manual. Visibility isn't something I thought about. I think the manual cars should give better mpg so hopefully can get around 25mpg ish on a normal work run which is fine. Better get looking for one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Also ask iamlegend on here he's had a few! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
