Supra......
There is an unspoken code on this board that any negative comments are going to get you torched. In large part this is a place where we all come together to tell each other what an amazing sub-set of the human race we all are in having the wisdom and character to buy such an amazing once in a lifetime vehicle.
Yeah, the car is cool. I bought it for the way it drives. A heavy car can be made to go around corners, but it can't be made to handle like a light car. My test drive confirmed that this was as promised, so I bought the car. I assumed, that being a Toyota and Subaru product, quality would be a given. After 22 years and 6 Mazda products, I took it for granted that once a car left the dealer lot, it never returned (I have warranty routine maintenence done by my own mechanic) This has not been my experience with the car so far.
Sadly, this has not proven to be the case with the twins. For whatever reason, quality did not make it past the "Almost hit the target" point. You can blame it n the rush to market, the two company cultures not working in tandem, or the need to eliminate weight, I will never know why the car is so brittle, it just is.
There is a phrase that I use to describe Healey 3000 sports cars: "A glorious collection of parts traveling in close formation". Time has shown that it does not make them any less desirable, they just is what they is. The twins may prove to be of the same ilk. In the meantime, enjoy the car for what it does, and don't expect any sympathy from this board if you complain about what you think it should do. The car is perfect, got that?
