Supra Ride?

Now this may be a strange request... but i'm after a ride in a tt auto supra.

I'm hoping to buy a supra by November so would like to get an idea of what to look for when buying one.

I'm also after physical proof that the auto is just as fun as a manual.

 

I'm living near Telford in Shropshire but regularly visit my girlfriend in Leeds.

Im also down in Devon every so often.

 

So are there any willing volunteers to show me their pride and joy?

1. Its not

 

2. You will still have no clue what to look for.

 

Ask someone seasoned with supras to come with you to check out any cars you want to buy.

I have a 6 speed. I've heard loads of good things about the auto, but I just don't want to have one. It kills the experience (just one guys opinion)

 

The 6 speed for driving in very low rpm (less than 3k) is, like Craig said, very clunky and can be hard to get in gear when cold, but for anything above 3k rpm it is the dogs bollocks ;)

 

Don't let the price of 6 speeds put you off. Having total control over gears when doing "spirited" driving - which let's face it everyone who owns a Supra does, it's one of the most ticketed cars - is far superior and just way more fun. In my opinion of course :D

I have owned both and can confirm that is incorrect :)

 

Great offers on the table here by fellow members. Also if possible, worth attending some local car meets.
