Also, you bring up a good point - track vs daily. I think it's already a great set up for the street as it is. Many have already complained about its characteristics (in stock form) around a track. A 2.0 with a tune for the track and a 3.0 Premium for DD? I'm sure the aftermarket will solve those issues with plenty of swaps and upgrades. It didn't take us long to have the ability to completely gut our twins and mod to our liking. On a side note, $50K+ is a bit much for me too. I'm hoping for a low miles, low $40s 3.0 Premium in a year or two. But I'm still enjoying my FI manual BRZ, so I can wait... |

Pretty sure several reviews state we get a mechanical diff in the states.

And if you’re asking me which one I’d choose out of the two, I’d go for the four-cylinder." - BOB SOROKANICH May 13 2020, Road&Track https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-car...linder-review/ The more I think about what you and Irace86 said about how well the 2.0 Supra will sell the more I think you guys would be right. As much as I like the 2.0 Supra; it will probably be even less popular than the Audi TT which I also like. $43000 for the "little brother" Supra looks bad on paper. I'm going to have to drive a 2.0 Supra before I form a complete opinion. Maybe it will drive like a $43000 car. My FR-S certainly drives better than its MSRP would lead people to believe. |

By the time I'm at that point, I'm thinking like others have said before, some performance sedan. Adding to the ones already listed, both the CT4-V and CT5-V fall around that range. If you go used, you can get a V8 CTS-V for mid-40s.

Pretty sure 2.0 BMWs like the 230i don't come with a mechanical LSD.

I own a 228i and it has an open differential. M240i are also open differential. Back in 2014 when the current 2 series was launched BMW and media outlets made a big deal about the available mechanical LSD. This mechanical LSD was a dealer installed option/accessory and is likely very rare. Despite how rare it probably is, some press loaner 228i and M235i were equipped with the dealer installed mechanical LSD. This made reviews of the cornering behaviour of the 2 series difficult to interpret. Some cars had LSDs and some didn't; some reviewers could feel the LSD working or they saw the spec sheet and some didn't. |

They say it has an open diff. No wonder why they marketing it as a GT car and the 3.0 as the track focused car.

Car review shouldn’t be hiding shit around, especially clear & obvious shit. If there’s an problem or an issue, it should be stated, so potential buyer know what to expect. Instead of rambling about nothing for 25mins... correction. How Toyota shave 220 lbs by not putting B58, active suspension & e-dif, which is only half true. I’m not saying I do better review... but I def know who’s drinking too much brand kool-aid & lost their word for the review. |

Supra 2.0 Is a trophy wife's car. Nothing wrong with that.
