Fuel economy

A more stringent standard for fuel economy (WLTP) was introduced from September 2017, and this model was not required to undergo that test. Its fuel economy measured under the previous test system was 25 mpg. However these figures are less likely to be achievable in real world driving and so should never be compared to another car's mpg which was measured under the newer, more realistic WLTP system.

The Supra is certainly not an investment for the faint-hearted, as this level of high performance does come at a price. The Toyota parts and maintenance are expensive, while the high insurance grouping and steep depreciation may make your eyes water. The initial outlay however is reasonable for a twin-turbo supercar with so much power; after all, this is a great sports car that will never fail to amaze.

Japanese manufacturers tend to epitomise the term ‘dependability’ and Toyota are no exception to the rule. Superbly engineered, the Supra is generally very reliable if properly maintained. Specialist or main dealer servicing is essential for reliability and to retain value and saleability, as there’s an awful lot of specialist and highly stressed machinery involved that should have been well looked after.
