This is what happens when Toyota borrows BMW's homework and actually improves it. The B58 engine tunes to 500+ wheel horsepower on stock internals, the chassis feels sharper than the Z4 it shares bones with, and it holds value like a limited-edition sneaker. The catch: 2020-21 models burned oil between changes, not catastrophic, but annoying enough to make 2022+ the smarter buy. The bigger question is philosophical: can you live with a Supra that's half BMW under the skin? If badge purity matters more than driving joy, walk away. If you want a reliable weekend weapon that won't depreciate into oblivion, this delivers, just skip the early years and prepare for dealer markups that'll test your commitment.

The generation that matters
This product isn't one story — here's how each era is regarded.
A80 (Mk4) — 1993–2002
1993 – 2002
Legendary
Universally beloved icon with timeless design and the legendary 2JZ engine. Posts consistently describe it as a dream car, 'didn't age a day,' and the standard against which the new Supra is judged.
A90 (Mk5) — 2020–2025
2020 – 2025
Solid
Strong performer with BMW B58 engine praised for reliability and tuning potential. Early 2020 models had transmission and oil consumption issues (resolved 2022+). Manual transmission added 2023+. Criticized for BMW partnership and lack of pure Toyota engineering, but owners report it's fun, capable, and a performance value.
