2020 Toyota GR Supra — Should You Buy One?

Typical asking price: $42,000–$55,000. This is one of the more reliable vehicles in its class — here's what to watch for anyway.

Kestrel Take

The reborn Supra — co-developed with BMW (Z4), the GR Supra pairs the excellent B58 turbo inline-six with a superb chassis, making it fast, tunable, and genuinely great to drive. The B58 is stout and responds hugely to tuning, which is the concern: many are modified and driven hard. A stock or tastefully tuned, un-tracked Supra with records is a fantastic modern sports car; verify service, check for abuse, and scrutinize any tune.
