Guest Granty101 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Hi Guys and gals, I've been looking at maybe getting a supra but think i need some help with it. there's different options and i don't know what I'm looking for so any advice would be great. currently got a focus st in electric orange so i like something a bit flamboyant . i like manuals and i like the idea of the twin turbo standard but not sure if its worth looking at autos or not. not sure where i should be looking for good examples of them I've tried auto trader and piston heads but they seem rare to find a manual not modified. so anything anyone's got would be great. Cheers Granty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Dont discount the auto at all, they arevery good boxes with manu mode, kickdown, and overdrive all working very well. 6 speeds are nice but notchy and not very smooth imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Have a search around the forum. The Auto vs Manual topic has been covered many times over. Auto owners rave about the box, but personally, I haven't driven one, however I wouldn't discount one if I get another Supra.

Guest Granty101 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I'll have to look at the auto's more then, just wish there were more un-modded cars out there, i like that bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Good luck finding a standard one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Good luck with the search matey. Unmodified examples ARE out there and if you want a manual I would (and did) hold out for the right one. I've read any number of threads / posts stating how fantastic the auto 'box is (I've never driven one) but the idea just didn't interest me even slightly. I get the impression you're the same so keep searching and don't take second best! by the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jord Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Welcome to the forum. I've always driven manuals and the supra was my first auto car. I was concerned about whether I'd miss the manual but after reading around the forums I went for it and I don't regret it at all. The auto is great, gear changes are smooth and the power is there when you want it. Unmodded cars are getting rarer especially as they get older but you can find them. Wait until you find the perfect car for you and keep an eye on the classifies section. Good luck finding your car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
