Still on a mission to find a car I like..

Still haven't.

I'm more of a German car person (boring!) but have always liked the latest Supra twin turbo, but what does it drive like? I wouldn't really be interested in tuning it by the way, so I'm talking stock.

Is there much lag? Is it a good handling comfy(ish) GT car, or a super-stiff banzai mobile (hope not as I'd like to use it daily), or the in-between 'good sports car' (that's what I'd like, which leads me to compare it aginst a Porsche 968)..

Is the auto any good? Uk turbos all have a scoop, right?

cheers

Auto is fine I think.

It's a bit plastic inside, but goes pretty well.

Unmodified, it's not to harsh I think.

Be aware that UK cars are higher spec, and command higher prices......

Hi

I have previously owned two Mk1V supra's and they are the business, good handling, cheap to run and not too common. The only reason why I sold mine was to buy a 911 but one day I may go and buy another...
