Supra V is a huge miss if you're over 5'9. I have never been in a car so cramped, so uncomfortable, and with so little visibility (felt like I was in a pillbox). My test drive lasted about 1/2 mile, couldn't get out of that car fast enough.
Can't comment on comfort, but I found the cabin very cramped given the exterior footprint of the car! My 2007 Z4M coupe felt downright spacious by comparison.

It is interesting how something with a larger footprint could be so claustrophobic and uncomfortable. According to you location, you are "jacked out of your mind", so I am guessing you are tall and muscular. What did it feel like driving a Miata (if you have been in one).

Rev matching is horrible. First thing I disabled every time I turned on my first M4. I would never even consider a car where you couldn't turn it off.

Not downplaying your experience and I have not been in a Supra, but have you ever tried a Miata? Now that car to me is like sitting in a rolling coffin. Drove a few laps around the block and noped out hard.

After I sat in my current car's sibling for the first time I found my then current car uncomfortably spacious by comparison despite being one vehicle size smaller. I only miss the more spacious glovebox of that car.

I sat in a Supra once at Barrett-Jackson and was barely able to get in and out. I'm a bigger dude and 6' tall. It wouldn't work for me.
