About the only point you made that I agree with is that it sounds better. Again, that's from the outside mostly, because in both cars, stock exhausts, most of what you hear is ASD since they are very quiet otherwise. If your criteria is a cool sports car that can make fun noises, I'd be looking at a roadster of some kind or older Corvette anyway. |

I'd rather be driving a car more connected to the road than insulated from the road "cruiser' ironically the higher up you go in M2 versions, the more comfortable they are to drive on the road as a DD. which is the opposite of what a 'competition' or 'CS' is supposed to be about I know it goes against the M division pamphlets and Instagram blurbs, but the M2 N55 is the real sports car in the bunch |

you can lookup many reviews from non 'car journalists' youtube types , real world owners give their takes , the CS is very refined and all the bells and whistles, with the adaptive suspension it makes for very comfortable car, which is good thing, |

Hey, everyone. I am sorry to necro this thread, but I am looking to swap my Auto '20 Supra for a M2C w/ manual (strictly due to looks and the manual).
I have developed plenty of gripes about my A90 throughout my time of ownership. Some of those include the following: -Creaking/rattling of door panels and general locations in the car (it's quite offensive on my specific car). -Lack of manual transmission -The audience my Supra attracts -The fake vents are strange -Serious lack of space, it's a cramped car ( I understood this when buying, but it has been a pain more times than anticipated). Obviously, some of these issues won't be present on the M2C. However, is the interior quality in the M2C any better than the Supra? Will I still battle with tons of random rattles/creaks? How is the manual in the M2C? |

I haven't had creaks either on my OG. the seats on the M2C are just as nice as the Supra's. I would say the M2C's interior is nicer that's just my opinion.

The materials in a lot of spots are pretty horrible on the F22/F87. Also, the sun visors are sad, there is no "grab handle" front or rear, and the coat hook in the back is terrible. Not sure how much of that also applies to the Supra, but they are issues with F87 that don't exist with F80.

I just test drove a Supra for the first time this week and found the experience disconnected and a bit boring (no offense meant towards current owners or fans). It reminded me quite a lot of the G42 M240 I drove in February. That car too felt like driving a video game to me.
Now I'm very keen on driving some M2's since it's been years since I've taken the time to. I don't remember the M2C feeling so disconnected, but perhaps I'm remembering with rose colored glasses. I will say this though, the Supras ride quality was fantastic considering the wheel base and wheel and tire setup.

I just spent a week with 3.0 Supra blasting the Blue Ridge Mtns between Tenn and NC. Final verdict - keep the M2. I did a small write up on my experience if you search my posts.

You left the word "might" out of that statement. You might, others might, but I certainly don't. Different strokes for different folks.

OG sounds better so that's why I took the OG. I also wanted to build the N55 and be unique. I got the best of both worlds. N55 much cheaper to mod too in my opinion
