Kirk Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Ok so I'm looking into getting a N/A and all I keep hearing is its sluggish as hell! Is it realy that slow? I mean comeon its a 3L inline 6! Ok 220 definatly doesn't sound at all powerful to todays standards but surely it must be able to move some! N/A owners feedback if you will!

JustGav Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I've had 2 so far, they are still a nice car, and they do still go well. Manual is definitely a better option in the NA, but the autobox is a very worthy choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why bother asking other peoples opinions when you can easily get a drive yourself by turning up at a garage? I am buggered if I would buy a car based on what other people thought.

Guigsy Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 i loved my NA, and for the prices you can get them for now and taking into account the petrol prices atm... you would be silly to rule them out. and by no means slow. best way to find out it to take a test drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude I was just asking the question, get some feedback from actual owners and how it is for them, I wasn't going to buy a car based on peoples thought I was just asking a SIMPLE question!

To what end? To get lots of NA owners saying how wonderful they are? What do you expect them to say?

Dyer864 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I've had mine just over a year now, coming from a prelude 2.2 vtec and got to admit it does seem pretty slow in comparison getting thro the gears, but top end it surpasses it, you got to understand that the supra is a much larger / heavier car than most hot hatches today aswell ! but as said with fuel prices and reliability it seemed, the safest option to me when i bought it !

Dyer864 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Has the question was "is the n/a supra sluggish with 220 bhp" as he has read or been told, I dont believe style came into the question ! because if it was, that's the reason i bought my supra in the first place STYLE !
