SavageGeese gave the 2026 Supra Final Edition a positive review with an OctaneScore of 82/100, praising it as a uniquely light (3,400 lbs) and nimble sports car with improved braking and chassis tuning that feels planted at its tire's limit, plus exceptional reliability backed by Toyota's engineering. The car's traditional brake pedal and bulletproof reliability scored perfectly, though the $68,000 starting price creates a significant value question—SavageGeese notes it's positioned as a second or third car in most garages, though used examples will become steals when prices drop into the $20,000-30,000 range. The primary caveat is that this Final Edition doesn't do everything, and its premium pricing limits accessibility compared to competitors. The 2026 Supra Final Edition is built for driving purists who prioritize lightweight, honest performance and can afford to treat it as a weekend car rather than a practical daily driver.

Doug DeMuro gave the 2023 Toyota Supra a highly positive 93/100 rating, praising its exceptional value (no manual transmission premium) and standout cabin tech like the real-time gear display and new Hairpin Plus cornering feature. Performance improvements shine through rev matching, adjusted gear ratios for better acceleration, and refined power steering, while the design scores well thanks to an excellent gauge cluster and the new Stratosphere blue color. DeMuro's main caveat is that the manual Supra arrives late in the model cycle when market attention has faded, though he notes it's finally the car it should have been from launch. This is the sports car for enthusiasts who want a genuinely drivable manual transmission BMW-powered Supra without paying extra for the stick shift.
