DaveK Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I'm not in that situation - but they are not practical in my opinion. Very little (if any) leg room in the rear (although that's not really an issue for a baby seat obviously) and the boot is very shallow.

RedM Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 The back seats are great for putting a few bags of shopping on. Don't really use the boot due to it being about the size of a Kraft cheese slice. However, I think Michael once managed to get two 19" monitors in his Supra.

Havard Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 This is a wind up right!! You will be lucky to swing a mouse around in a Supra. For such a big car it's amazing that you can hardly fit anything in it! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I regulary fit this in mine (at the same time). A full tower pc case. (a good 2 foot high) a 23" widescreen monitor. A bag of computer bits (cables, keybord, mouse... etc) A bag of clothes A bag of food A 3 man tent A sleeping bag A foldable camping chair A thick blanket A pillow Ive also fit in (not all the same time) sideskirts + TRD rear wing (both at once, very easy) An entire front bumper (tricky but not hard) 4x18" wheels in boxes without tyres 4xtyres for above wheels 4x16" wheels with tyres An exhaust (2nd cat backwards all as one piece) 3 people (alive) So its not 2 bad for shifting things arround Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snake Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Best to have the supra for weekends and a small "family" car for everyday use. if you put a cat in the back of a supra it would have a job to turn round let alone be swung around.:eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 yeh but did ya get a buggy in? yes and enough bags for me the wife and the boy for 3 weeks of leave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 The boot is quite generous as sports cars go, had camping gear and 2 stock wheels in my old one, 3 x 19" wheel with tyres, and also the weekly shopping. As for a family car I would never dream of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanchan Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I've had 4 guys in my Supra before now. You wouldn't want to go more than a couple of miles, but it's possible. For everyday use, my drivers seat doesn't go far enough back due to the rear seats being in the way. As Havard says, for a big car, there's hardly any space inside.

Marco Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Don't buy a supra if you want a practical car. Get a big volvo or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Practical??? Space??? In theory its a 4 seat coupe, in reality any rear passengers would have to be either under 3 years old or not have legs The boot is quite wide but woefully shallow, Martin's right about cheese slices! If your load is deeper than a lunch box you'll obstruct your view out the back but the rear seat folds down. With some carefully thought out packing its not too bad. Many of us camp at shows and can fit in a decent sized tent. Never tried a buggy myself, not had the need Can you take a buggy and baby seat with you when you look at your first supra then you can work it out early on.... ...or buy a meriva Lx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyT Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Not practical as everyday transport. Saying that, I did manage to get 4 unshod 17's in it. Just. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snooze Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I kept mine until Adam reached about 1yr old. Whilst there's enough room for the baby seat and you could also fit a folded-up 3-wheel buggy in the boot, you won't fit anything else in. Don't expect to be able to take baby and buggy down to the shops and come back with a week of shopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xeno Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I can fit me and the missus in, with a four year old in a car seat in the back. The buggy fits in the boot, pushed right up to the back of the back seats, and I can get a weeks shopping in as well, some in the spare back seat and the rest in the boot. Occasionally the missus has to cuddle some on the way home too. Any more than that and we have to use the 'other' car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.weeks Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 hi all thinking of buying a supra wondering if you can advise on how practical it is. i have a 4 month old baby so will need car seat room in the rear and need to carry his buggy around any of you in the same situation and how do you find it? thanks ian I have a little-un as well, as none of the baby seats we tried fitted in the back at all (an odd site to see the Supra outside Babys R Us!). We did get the maxi-cosi to fit in the front. I had to remove the air bag (not compatible with baby seats in the front) and fit a gauge pod holder there instead ;-) Girlfriend went in the back. However, there was no room for her legs so she had to put her legs up on the seat. Needless to say, I now have a second car and the Supra for special occassions now :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I've managed to get 2 large suitcases in the back before. Also depends on what you've got in the boot, I've got a bloody great sub and amps, so can fit about 2 bags of shopping in the boot:d:d not the best for an everyday car, especially if it's just the only car in your household (hurry and drive woman!!!) But the fun more than outweighs the hassle:d:d:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
