Summary
What does this car say about you?
I am into cars i guess. I only get positive comments as opposed to "flash git".
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Friends want to be taken out in it. Family think its very nice. Neighbours just stare. I had a "that's a car and a half" comment from a neighbour just recently.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Only if mine was written off. I tested skylines, evos, scoobys and FTOs when i was thinking what to buy and the supra just seems the best. Dont be put off by the auto either, its not your standard auto box and its got a great kick-down.
What are you likely to buy next?
Nothing in the next few years.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Didn't buy from a dealer
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£7,000
When did you buy the car?
March 2007
Did you get a good deal and why?
These cars were over £40k new and you can buy a good low mileage car for ~£6k which is crazy considering the amount of car you get for your money. I looked at around a dozen examples before buying mine, i recommend doing the same to avoid the dodgy cars.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Wanted one since i was 12. The looks, the performace and the wow factor.
What was the dealer like?
n/a

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
I've done a track day in a lamborghini murcielago and the supra is not far behind in terms of performance. Very easy to drive considering the monster under the bonnet, rather wide though.
What's it like to park?
Chances are you'll have some posh wheels on the car which will make you concentrate when parallel parking. Car is rather big which makes multi-storey car parks tricky. I tend to park further away from destination where there are less cars as the supra fills the parking space!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing other than wear and tear parts.
What's most practical about your car?
To be honest i wouldn't call it a practical car...
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Cruise control and climate control are nice. Traction control is probably the most important.
