Should You Buy the 2023 Toyota Supra?

Reliability stands at good for this final year of the fifth generation, and it lands close to average among 2023 sedans. Within the Supra's seven scored model years it sits in the middle. The 2022 rates about the same, and the 2024 rates better.

Owners filed 5 complaints, and the main pattern is the electronic parking brake. Three reports describe it releasing by itself on the manual transmission version. With the brake set, the driver shifts to neutral and lets out the clutch, and the brake disengages. Depending on the slope, the car creeps forward or backward. Drivers say it is unsafe to step out with the engine running. The reports show no mileage pattern. Federal recall records list 2 recalls, covering the electrical system and the power train.

If you are looking at a manual, test the parking brake with that neutral and clutch routine before you buy. Ask for proof that both recalls were completed. The 2024 has 1 complaint and no recalls, and it rates better.

Compared to the 2024 Toyota Supra, which scored 4 points higher. See also the 2022 Toyota Supra for an earlier comparison.

Used Buying Checklist

Key things to inspect or verify before purchasing a 2023 Toyota Supra.

Check whether the car has the manual transmission, since the parking brake reports center on that version.
On a gentle slope, set the parking brake, shift to neutral, release the clutch, and see if the brake lets go.
Repeat the parking brake test right after a cold start and again after a drive.
Ask the seller whether the parking brake has ever released on its own or let the car roll.
Run the VIN through federal recall records and ask for paperwork on any parking brake repairs.

2023 Toyota Supra Common Problems by Component

5 owner complaints grouped by vehicle system.

SERVICE BRAKES (3)UNKNOWN OR OTHER (1)WHEELS (1)

SERVICE BRAKES

3 complaints

The electronic parking brake releases by itself, and the car can roll away. Reports center on the manual transmission version. The pattern repeats: with the brake set, the driver shifts to neutral and lets out the clutch pedal, and the brake disengages without any other input. It can happen right after startup or after the car has been driven. Depending on the slope, the car then creeps forward or backward, which puts people nearby at risk. Drivers also say this makes it unsafe to step out with the engine running. No mileage pattern appears in the reports.

Parking brake is releasing on its own. I would press the clutch in when starting the car and as soon as i release or press down again it will release. Car is also in neutral when I am doing this so it has nothing to with it being in gear and releasing. The parking brake should on release when I pull the button or if i am in gear and want to pull off.

WHEELS

1 complaint

2022-12-30

Going west bound on I30 in Arkansas traveling with the flow of traffic. There was a transition part of the highway where it went from some asphalt repair to concrete roadway and when my car hit this the wheel seperated in a 360 degree pattern and the only thing holding the wheel together was the tire. I believe the 19" wheel that Toyota used on this 2023 Supra has a factory defect and is very dangerous and needs to be looked into ASAP. There was no damage to the car at all.
