Practicality isn’t so good, because the boot can stow just 290 litres. But there’s some extra space behind the seats and a removable panel allows for longer items to be fitted in.
Running costs
All Supras need to be serviced every 12 months or 10,000 miles, with maintenance alternating between Minor (£365) and Major (£545). This cost includes brake fluid every other year and coolant as and when it’s needed; there’s no set schedule for it to be renewed.
Chain-driven engines mean there are no cambelts to replace, so you can put the cash you’ve saved towards the £410 VED luxury car supplement that’s in place until the model’s sixth birthday; all Supras cost more than £40,000 when new. Insurance isn’t too bad, though, with 2.0-litre models sitting in group 34 or 35, and the 3.0-litre versions only a couple of groups higher.
Recalls
Toyota has recalled the Supra on three occasions so far, the first two times in 2021. In January of that year a campaign was launched because a handful of models were identified as having left the factory with sub-standard fuel tanks that could leak petrol; a replacement tank was the solution.
A second recall was issued in September 2021 because faulty engine-management software meant the oil pump could be damaged; a software update cured the problem. The most recent action came in January 2024,
when a few Supra owners were asked to take their cars to a dealer because the transmission ECU could work loose.
Driver Power owner satisfaction
The Supra is a niche product so it’s never been in our Driver Power surveys. But Toyota is no stranger to these and in 2024, four of its cars were in our top 50, with the Yaris and RAV4 in third and fourth places respectively; the C-HR came 15th, while the Corolla was 24th.
Those are better results than in 2023, when Toyota had eight cars in the top 75, but only the Prius (eighth place) in the top 20.
