auto or manual??

 

im looking to get a supra very soon but unsure about which gearbox to go for? heard the autos are good but ive always been used to a manual?

 

its going to be the non turbo model! sz or sz-r

 

would be great if i can get some opinions on both gearboxes!

 

also what i need to look out for when buying one?

 

i appreciate your help ;)

The search button is your friend. Been done to death.

 

I was the same as you, only every driven manuals, then I drove my mates Auto TT. The auto box is brilliant on the supra.

 

No real point asking for opinions mate as at the end of the day it is only yours that counts.

 

Best advice is to test drive them both, form your own opinion.

Or buy a Auto TT and do a 6sp conversion. ;) Costs slightly more but then you have the best of both worlds really.

I've driven almost every spec of supra and there's only one that I didn't like - the NA auto. Although the box itself is very good the engine just doesn't have the grunt to pull the car along. If you are set on an NA then it has to be a manual (IMO of course :D )

Plenty to look out for, see the link Ewen posted above.

 

Everyone here will recommend you don't rush into it, get a drive in a few different cars and see what you like. Are you likely to want to increase power in the future? What is your budget?

Like others have said, it's been done to death this topic has! lol.

 

I'm on my 2nd Auto TT and love it. Effortless driving around town! Plant your foot and grip on tight with both hands as it whizzes through the gears!

 

The only thing you have to get used to is people saying.... "Is that an Auto???"
