Guest Syn Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Alrite everyone. Been thinking for a while about either getting a 2nd car for the weekend or selling my FTO and buying something different, so got a couple of questions for you. I love the styling of the supra, one of the best looking cars made.Only the rx7 beats it imo but can't afford one of them and need a reliable car - not exactly what the rex is known for!! What mpg do you get from an n/a supra compared to a TT? How much would it cost to buy a supra TT with a blown engine and rebuild it? These answers will help me along in my decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Some people are on holiday but I think we're probably just fed up of answering the same questions over and over again Welcome to the forum though, good luck finding your broken Supra, they don't tend to blow their engines that much as standard and the tuned ones attract a premium price. What's your budget? £40? £50? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Aren't RX7's cheaper to buy than TT Supras? They always used to be - no offence but if you can't afford a Rex - either the purchase or running costs - you won't be able to afford a Supra either. Supras are mega reliable though, unlike the Rex as you point out. You're more likely to find a crash damaged Supra to rebuild than one with a blown engine.

Ewen Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 TT mpg....average 18 / 19. Slightly more if a lot of motorway driving. Max about 28/30...min depends on how you drive. N/A mpg....no idea, but a search in here will reveal all. I seem to remember someone posting around 26 mpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they are mate but unreliable and £3k engine rebuild every 60k apparently. Yeah I've been reading through the guide to buying and the engines do seem bullet proof. I had a highly tuned STI but didnt like the 16mpg I was getting from it, would have been okay if it was for the weekends but as a daily drive it was not worth it.If a TT is going to be 18/19mpg then obviously I'd have to look at either that as a weekend car. Or the other way to go is sell my FTO and buy an N/A supra as 26mpg average is about the same as what I'm getting now, then maybe look at something else like another sti with a blown engine as they can be bought cheap if blown and rebuilt to a high standard.

SteveR Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 The NA gets 1~2 MPG more than the TT under the same conditions. There is jack all in it. If you find a UK (all of which are TT) your insurance will be a less than an import TT or NA so totting-up running costs is not quite as simple as MPG.
