No doubt about that. They're both great at what they do

^This!
While I do very much enjoy my Stinger, when I start the Lightning up, the grin on my face, it never gets old. I just recently had the exhaust done too, sounds like a beast! Hearing that rumble, plus the whine? Win/win in my book.

Assuming the Supra will Not be a comfortable ride ?? If not, It would be a no for me. My age, I want a comfy ride too, not just fast and cool sound.
My Stepson wants to get a sti this fall when his Mazda 3 2.5L lease expires.. I'm like why not just get a stinger, so we have two in the fam. he'll be getting married next year and likely have couple kids, so for the samre price range as a STI, you can have a stinger..
WAY better overal deal. stil is just handles great and fast, and Stinger is all around package, more cargo space for strollers, etc..
But you know these kids, they'll want the non-practical choice and I'll still beat him 1/4 mile

From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
The Supra has a comfortable ride not in sport mode, and you can adjust the sport to make it ride more compliant like the custom mode on the Stinger. The ride is close the only time you'll notice a difference is deep changes like pot holes. But if you want to carry more than one passenger or much of anything else its not the car for you lol. Hard to beat the Stinger as an all around ride.

I rather would have paid a little more and got a full BMW. But congrats its your decision.

I actually like the Stinger better than a bmw !! It's more comfortable ride, and fast enough and handles more than good enough for reg. joe's not winning le mans cups...
Car and Driver is quoted for saying "Kia built a better BMW for less"
That would’ve been a Z4, not a fan of how it looks. Or a convertible. So, nah.

Looks are subjective, personally don't like wishy washy stuff or a Toyota or a BMW or nothing. But that is me, again congrats for your purchase.

Personally, I liked the Supra styling. If I had to make a choice between a "full" BMW or a '22 Stinger GT, it would CLEARLY have been the Stinger......
I won't call out any "ages" but let's just say, that when I showed it to my 20yr old daughter, her response was..."smells of mid life crisis".....my response was..."I met your mom the last time I had a sports car so call it what you want but you EXIST as a result.".....LOL
If you can open the door all the way, not bad getting in/out. Once the seat position is set, I am just as comfortable as I was in the Stinger. When not in Sport, you won't realize you are in the Supra until you "GIVE IT THE BEANS!!" (have to admit, I like those car reviews SNT).
