WOW! 2 Year, 48k Mile MK5 Supra Ownership: My Verdict Revealed!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ก.ค. 2024
- HOLY COW! 2 years with my Supra. That is insane considering I tend to go through cars pretty much every year, but I knew this car would be the one I would keep for a while. Take it from someone who has modded the car, driven in, and experienced almost everything with the car. This will be the only video you will need to know what all is needed and what to expect with owning a car like this. Check out the other videos in my channel! Here are the ones I mentioned in this video:
I put the wrong wheel specs in the video, it's actually:
F: 18x10 +25
R: 18x11 +34

Glad to see someone using the car for what it’s meant to do. Which is to DRIVE it lol.
Yes! If I drive it at the rate I do, then it'll have 100k miles in 2-3 years lol
You drive a manual and you ride an automatic.
I'm currently rocking a 2021 fk7 right now, but I'm really grateful for reviews like these as I hope to own one of these Supras in the future!
Appreciate the kind words Peter! Yes, if I can do it, you definitely can too :)
I recently bought a 22' Supra. Thanks for all your videos, it helped with the decision to get one :D
Congratulations! I appreciate you taking the time to view them! I hope that it's been as enjoyable for you as it has for me.
Would consider if had:vented seats, Android Auto, and exterior trunk release.
This is the exact Supra Review I’ve been looking for! Great explanation and more!!
Please keep doing a mileage update review.
I’m definitely saving up to get the 6 speed.
I had bmw and nervous about the reliability of the B58 since it’s still fairly new
Thanks so much faultless! I need to do a 2.5 year update after crossing the 53k mile mark. B58 is really reliable. I just do the usual fluid changes and tires. It's been good to me!
Just got my 2023 Supra and I love it so much. I’m Grateful 🙏🏻
Glad you’re enjoying it Geral! How many miles do you have on it now?
Wow the speaker issue is really disappointing. Spend $60k on a car and can’t even get a decent sound system without messing around with box and wires for 5 hours?….
Yeah it really is. First time I heard the rattles, I was perplexed and I thought it was just me having the issue. Color me surprised when I saw that there’s an entire thread discussing how to resolve it lol…
@@VinceChristmastree Would an aftermarket sound system fix the issue?
It could, some have had successes, but a majority have said that just doing that speaker mod fixed the majority of the problems. The ones that did upgrade the speakers were just doing it to boost the quality.
@@VinceChristmastree Damn man I have been really considering this car, actively cross-shopping it with a few others. But I just do not trust myself doing some DIY mod on a $60k car. And sound system is pretty important to me. I don’t need the best system but I also know I would not want to deal with the sub issue in this car that everyone complains about. Kinda crazy to think this could potentially keep me from buying it wow.
@@lakerfan1855 buy it now before they make a weird version of it and they brainwash u the older ones are unlocked so u can tune
Love your content. I just signed the papers for a 6 speed yellow 2023 and I'm so excited to hear it's going well for you after a couple years.
Thanks so much for the kind words! Excited for you! The yellow is so cool, been trying to convince my girlfriend to get a yellow one so we can have a his and hers :)
same here! whats your leadtime?
@@accordingtoabe2211 Dec 12th
@@VinceChristmastree that's a cool idea! Hopefully she does lol. They were a bit more difficult to find.
Also what's your thoughts on partial ppf on a color that can fade? Or just go the full
I would recommend doing at least a full front clip PPF (including the front fenders) since that is the thing I wish I did from the get go. Mine is riddled with rock chips 😭
For the rest of the car, definitely do a paint correction and ceramic coat so it’ll keep the paint looking slick!
I’ve had mine for a year now and still love it.
Yes! Congrats on crossing that year mark. I still feel the same way about my car as when I first got it. Keep piling on those miles!
I’m currently on deployment right now and can’t wait to get home and order one, planning on getting a 2023 MT 3.0 and hopefully the waitlist isn’t too long
Thanks for your service! I would expect a decent waitlist based on what I’ve read so you’ll probably have to call around.
I've just binged watched a few of your videos. Love the content
I own a 2021 2 port Supra in the UK and I'm getting a hybrid turbo fitted in a couple of weeks. Is the catch can worth doing at the same time?
Thanks Dan! I really appreciate the support!
I periodically check my catch can and honestly there’s not much in there. I would say it’s not 100% essential with a hybrid turbo. Maybe if you go top mount.
I’m 32k @2 yrs, I still smile everyday on my drive to work wit the cts turbo. Hit up the group next time u come down to dfw again I want a ride!!!
I bet it’s rowdy! Yeah for sure, send me your number on IG and I’ll hit you up 🤓
Good video!
What made you decide on Rotella T6? That seems to be a truck oil? Seems heavier at 40 for the watery 20 that it requires stock.
I’ve seen most people run Motul 5w-30
Great question! Just used it on my Subarus and it's familiar to me. Did some research to see how it was like for other BMW motors, and the N54/55 groups had great results with them. Some Bimmerpost users even sent them to Blackstone for testing and got great results from the tests.
I change my oil every 5k miles and the high zinc content is good for the motors, especially tuned ones, from what I've researched. I'm no scientist, but Motul is great too. Cost also played a factor in my decision since a 5L container is $50+ (Xcess Gen 2 5W-40). $26 / 3.75L = $6.93 vs $51.86 / 5L = $10.37
@@VinceChristmastree oh
i love this car because it brought me friend like you
I love this car too because it brought me two amazing friends!! Irreplaceable!
Glad to see it worked for you. Being 6'2" it was so bad getting in and out of it, I couldn't pull the trigger. Being that tall, torso biased, getting in and out of it with my preferred seating position couldn't do it. Add in some other issues, no android auto, wind buffeting, and a rubbery manual transmission, I ended up with a Camaro 2SS 1LE that I daily most of the year. Maybe if the MKVI ends up being better, I'll consider it as I always wanted a Supra.
I'm shorter than you so it's no problem for me at 5'9", but yeah definitely understandable. The 2SS 1LE is a good choice if you want more space! Have you looked into a 7-Speed C7Z or a Stingray? I've seen dudes around your height rolling around here with them.
I’m 6”6 and I have no problems and I’m all legs normal torso. If it was a manual I would be able to drive it, but since my 21 is auto no problem. Also the 21 has android auto
I'm 6'3 and I have no issue getting in and out of mine, I'm also lowered on Eibach springs.
Respect that you daily your supra and keeping if. Where did you get the blue bars for the engine bay? I need them xd
Previous owner installed them, but they are Cusco strut braces!
titanmotorsports.com/products/cusco-powerbrace-front-strut-support-2020-toyota-supra-a90-3-0l-turbo
Great video
Thanks Manny!
Good video. I did not catch if you mentioned about maintenance for the diff? I know for all BMW they require to change the differential fluid every oil change. Could you elaborate on that? Is that same with Supra,?
Where did you see that the differential oil needs to be changed every oil change? Some of the big power cars do not change diff fluid until they get up to 25k or so miles. I have not switched mine.
Glad you are enjoying ownership of your supra I appreciate this review/video but considering the extent of mods, I'm not sure if its really fair to call this typical supra ownership, but its still holding up well!😬
Fair point. However, the purpose of me doing the recap videos is to show that even though my setup is probably something that 99% of owners will never do, the fact that it still runs like a champ and is reliable then STILL puts a smile to my face every single time shows that what everyone says about BMWs being unreliable is false. It's expensive to fix shit, but if you take care of it, it'll last even at much higher power levels.
juat picked up a 2020 the color you got is so nice!
Thank you! Congrats on the pickup! Enjoy it like I have mine :)
Great looking car!! Which built tranny did you go with? Did you upgrade the turbo?
Pure 800 and Brian Shull in the DFW area built my trans!
Beautiful car. Where did you get the sliver Supra emblem?
Thank you! It's actually titanium from here:
www.titanium-works.com/collections/badges-and-logos/products/gr-a90-badge?variant=42063984165039
I'm planning the Supra to be added to the garage next. I noticed your windshield wiper flick in this video, do you know why it did that?
Yeah it’s just the car do diagnostic checks. Usually it does that if you have the auto wipers turned on.
@@VinceChristmastree ok, thank you!!
Congratulations you have a nice ,realeble modern car for great price,I own 2013 FRS AND LOVE IT !
New gajet by the fender. ...
Right on!
it's funny to see the wind shield wiper have a mind of their own and seem to move ever so often in your video.
Lol it’s the Visconti flex fuel harness, not sure why it does that 😅
what camera set up are you using? its so nice
My cinematics I just shot with an iPhone 14 Pro and my talking portions I used a GoPro Hero 10 Black!
Love the Supra and ur content. I can tell you are a very humble person. 17 and saving up for one right now. You think by March it’ll be the same price? Looking for a 3.0 premium.
Hey Shamial! I appreciate it and keep hustling, glad to see you got that drive at a young age. I’m thinking it should go down lower just because of the recession. If you plan on financing a part of it, make sure and see if you can go through a credit union so your rate isn’t so high. If you’re paying cash, then no worries!
I would also suggest joining some of the Supra MK5 Facebook groups since some people are offloading their cars at pretty good prices. Pretty good examples are around 50-55k right now, which is so much better than the 65k+ people were listing earlier this year.
@@VinceChristmastree yeah I’ve seen the huge dealer markups and I don’t think financing would be a problem. I’ve seen tons of videos of this car. So hype to finally get one
@@shamialchaudhry1640 Nice dude! You will love it and it'll be tough to find another car that will be as enjoyable in this price range. Get it! Love it!
@Shamial Chaudhry can you afford the insurance for it as well and the maintenance fees because it is a bmw under the hood
Do yourself a favor and get something with manual.
Yey a fellow detailer
Helps since it makes cleaning not a chore lol
Local to Tulsa as well, this car has grown on me and become a dream car. What do you do for work? And are you hiring hahah beautiful machine! 😮💨🙏🏽
Lol thanks! I'm a software consultant. Thankfully it allows for some cool stuff like this!
I picked up a 2022 tungsten silver a few months ago and my two gripes with the car is the infotainment and soft clear coat. Really wish I put PPF on the more chip prone areas specially behind the wheels. Other than that I really love this car.
Nice congratulations! Yeah the clear coat is alright with the cars, much better protected with PPF or ceramic coat in the less rock chip prone areas. I mainly use the infotainment for Apple CarPlay. Just curious what gripes you have in regards to it?
I’m getting one soon a2020 I’m excited
Nice Josh! It'll be great! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
Nice. Actually driving your car ! That’s a lot of miles for 2 years
Yes, I will drive all my cars!
I miss mine. If I didn't have my son I would still be driving it still going on almost three years
Time to trade the son in! Jk, hopefully you're able to snag one again sometime in the future! Nothing beats being a dad though (according to my friends).
What downpipe are you running? And do you get a CEL?
I cover it here:
th-cam.com/video/hUr1dasBdhc/w-d-xo.html
No CEL since the car is tuned. My tuner and any others can turn off the CEL light for the cat.
At least put an intake on it already my god man you need that sound!! Any problems with the Pure?? Heard they are junk and known for leaking oil, any leaks?? Also what oil do you use and weight.
Nah, don't need an intake since I already have a top mount turbo ordered. Just waiting for it to come in! Eh, those reports are the vocal minority. Lots of people I know have Pure turbos and no problems. No leaks with mine at all. I use Rotella T6 5W-40.
I have enough to pay one of these off in cash and was very close to pulling the trigger until I found out how much technology and computers/sensors it has. I hate a car that I couldn’t fully work on myself, I have a 99 Miata currently and can build that thing from the ground up without running into issues but the Supra doesn’t seem that way at all.
Anything that old compared to this will be a huge jump for sure. I would say it really depends on how involved you are with building/modifying/maintaining your car. Like if you were to do just bolt on mods, it's actually pretty easy to do it. Turbo kit is much easier than what I was used to in the Subaru platform (EJ and FA). With the wiring though, yeah you would definitely have a harder time because of all the sensors it has. Not saying it's impossible, but much more difficult.
how often do you change your sparkplugs?
Not often enough lol but I will be switching them out every 10-15k miles. I am using OEM plugs.
My close family friend is looking to sell his 2021 3.0 premium with 10k+ worth of mods for around 55k, it has around 18k miles, he bought it 2 years ago for around 49k stock, I’m looking to use it as a daily do you think it’s a good deal? He said it’s well taken care of. It’s really loud though.
What are the mods that the car has?
@@VinceChristmastree I’m not familiar but he said he has a lot of interior carbon fiber and led lights mod, lots of carbon fiber in his engine bay idk what it is, he ceramic coated his paint, and he said he makes around above 600 hp, oh Ik he did put a new exhaust and intake, that’s all I remember him talking about, there are probably more things
Is that the turbulence gray color for the 2020 model year?
No it's the tungsten silver.
What was the best time in the quarter mile? Great build btw
Thanks! No driver mod and terrible traction got me a 10.5 last time I went. Need to have more seat time for sure and this setup is capable of high 9s. Probably will take it to the track sometime next spring. Car will only go as fast as the driver! 😅
@@VinceChristmastree how much power u making
@@kev_g37x With this setup, high 600s-700.
Where did you get the “Supra” emblem?
www.titanium-works.com/collections/toyota-supra
I just found my 2023 Premium Supra Halo White for 60k with 926 miles private party with lowering springs, carbon package, full PPF, and cat back single tip titanium exhaust already. Picking it up Friday and I couldn’t be more stoked no sales tax baby and still under manufacture warranty with everything I’d want already done to it!
Nice man! Congrats. Not too bad of a price tbh.
@@VinceChristmastree I appreciate it brotha I’m sure I’ll be hitting you up appreciate the content man you were grinning ear to ear in that Manual makes me want it even more now haha!
@@VinceChristmastree honestly I’m bummed about no adaptive cruise bro and lane keeping assist can’t be the same as our honda sensing I had 3 FK8’s as well great platform sounds like we have a lot in common. Really though in a manual I get why they didn’t do it, the FK8 really wasn’t useable unless I was on a longer road trip or the freeway in PHX with it cruising in 6th. I appreciate you going into those details man it’s the little things when buying a lot of content creators overlook that us ocd people out here need in our life lol. We’ve got some content coming with my buddy on some comparables that should be fun for everyone! Thanks for the posts brotha!
@@threadoflife For sure man! Thanks for the support and for watching. Keeps me motivated to keep making content!
@@threadoflife Funny you mention that, that was a complaint that Ryan had off camera too because I was talking about how great the adaptive cruise control was in the autos since I drive my car everywhere. Yeah make some content! It's fun to help out the community.
What's your thoughts on the Supra having lug bolts.
Great question! Slightly annoying, but I’ve gotten used to them at this point lol just too lazy to convert to actual lug system. Maybe I’ll get around to it one of these days.
Pretty standard on bmws
Where's the video about oil burning? I can't find it.
This video around the 1:58 mark:
th-cam.com/video/tCu5P8URvw0/w-d-xo.html
what brand and weight oil do you use?
I use Rotella T6 5W-40!
Should I sell off both my 2002 s2k and e46 m3 for this supra?
Oh man…if they are clean and relatively low mileage examples…I honestly would say no. However, you can’t beat having a modern car with all the amenities. Those two are just absolute classics. I had an 02 S2K and I miss it so much.
At what miles did you change the rotors?
Never changed it since I don’t take the car on a circuit.
Vince, is 59K OTD for 22 3.0 premium with 500 miles worth it?
Depends on your location. Prices are going down and you might be able to snag one up at MSRP in a couple of months!
Mine was 61K OTD 22' 3.0 Premium w/ 5K miles. I had a Toyota dealer offer me 60K (willing to negotiate too) for a 22' 3.0 Premium w/ 1.6K miles but didn't bite the bullet at the time (mostly cause it was black paint). Someone beat me to it when I came back for it.
nice aconym prestos dude, i have the same pair
Glad someone finally noticed them! Love Prestos, I think I’ve had like 5 pairs already.
Yeah all the attention is a big con for me. I build my cars for me and my driving pleasure. I mean I still talk to ppl if they come to me and I’m nice ab it, but I’m kinda an introvert and don’t like being the center of attention. When I see car ads like “this will turn heads!” or something similar, big eye roll 😂
Yeah, that's fair and I've met plenty of people who feel the same way. Heck I feel like that too sometimes, just leave me alone to do my thing lol car ads are so lame now. I know what you mean! 😂
Currently have a Lexus 3 IS
Don’t know if I want this or a RCF …
Can't go wrong with either, but the RC-F is more of a cruiser whereas the Supra tends to be more on the athletic sporty side from my experience. Just really depends on what you're wanting out of a coupe! RC-Fs sound amazing with that badass V8.
@@VinceChristmastree thank you!!
@@leojohnwayne1422 You're welcome!
would you have gotten a manual instead?
Nope. I discuss why in this video!
th-cam.com/video/HqqvStSH7Lw/w-d-xo.html
This Supra is automatic or manual ???
ZF8 auto. The manuals didn't come out until the 2023 model year.
Fuck 48k miles in 2 years DAMN!!!
😎😎😎
@@VinceChristmastree I respect it. I only put 6500’miles on my 20 Supra I miss that shit. I think I’m going to get another one next summer. I miss how much fun that car is and all the attention it gets. Super car attention for a fraction of the price.
@@kelvinmejia8384 Yes exactly! Prices will be much more chill lol definitely why I had to add the attention it gets on pros as well.
Traded my supra for the type r fk8.. totally different experience
Dang! How is it like going to the Type R? I know so many people that went from the Type R to the Supra like myself. The FK8 was so good, wish it was financially feasible to keep it.
@@VinceChristmastree fk8 is more engaging to drive, makes me want to drive it more than the supra.
I would agree with that. Shifter engagement is so damn good. Almost as good as the S2000. Honda just knows how to make an amazing shifter!
theres someone here in NYC with a 90K+ mile MK5
Glad to see people are driving their cars!
why you change rims?
From stock to the TEs? If so, I’ve always wanted TE37 Sagas and I finally had the opportunity to snag a set!
@@VinceChristmastree Thanks for answer. Nothing to do about performance?
@@41519731 Primarily just preference, but the wider wheels and tires that I'm able to use mean more grip.
@@VinceChristmastree Thanks!
I love the Supra so much that I traded in my 2020 for a 2023 LOL
LOL damn!😅
@@VinceChristmastree 😆 stuck with auto too. They offered me what I paid for my 20' 3 years ago, I keep my car stock so the improvements enticed me. I can tell you, stock for stock the new 2023 has incredibly improved steering feel and handling. The car is more refined. I'm sure aftermarket solves these things but I like my cars being used as they were originally engineered. Especially suspension.
Damn is it really that noticeable? I haven’t spent a bunch of time with a 2023 so I definitely should. From what I read, the rear end is more composed compared to the 2020s. Were you able to confirm?
@@VinceChristmastree in the same weather conditions (late fall in Southern Canada) the car doesn't walk away from you nearly as much when you drive hard. Seems to just stay settled more. When you go over different road textures you can actually feel it from the front wheels through the back. And when you turn the wheels, there is noticeable feedback that comes through the steering. Most improvement seems to be in the back end, the car feels like it can be driven harder with more confidence! I put about 25k miles on my 1st one and I immediately felt the difference in this one. Only thing I kinda miss is the pops and bangs of the 2 port. But the 6port has a deeper resonance to it which I like.
@@SlickSniper3 Wow, you have convinced me! I should check a '23 out then.
