Summary
What does this car say about you?
That I have an interest in cars, know good value for money and like driving fast
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Plenty were impressed with the speed, even some Italian sports car owners admitted it was quicker. Family and friends all liked the looks.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Hell yeah. Only sold as needed the money. Comfy on long journeys, cool looking, reliable, great engine, superb performance, plenty of room - only downside would be the brakes and fuel economy (although at 3000rpm you're doing 70mph so not too bad if careful)
What are you likely to buy next?
Not sure, maybe an Mr2 as they're cheaper but one day another Supra or maybe a Skyline. Only downside about these cars though is the worry of leaving them parked places so that may ultimately put me off as am clearly getting old now.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Was dubious about being an auto, but found it to be superb. Put your foot down and it just takes off. Handles surprisingly well too, even on country roads, but manual box would probably help here. Brakes were the only downside to the whole experience.
What's it like to park?
Not too bad

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Auto box failed on me, cost about £350 to put a second hand box in. Thought they were 'indestructable'but clearly they're not.
What's most practical about your car?
For a sports car on aftermarket suspension I could still get into any multi-story car park with ease.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Engine is superb, and turning off the traction is a nice touch
