- are supras reliable (or are they more or less DSM's haha)?
-what needs to be maintained regularly (including replacing parts)?
-are the TT MKVI less reliable?

any feedback would be appreciated greatly
Yes, Mkiv Supras are very reliable, especially if they're bone-stock (unmodified) and properly maintained.

For maintenance, simply follow the owner's manual. Mainly just fluid changes, etc.

After about 100K miles a couple of things need to be changed that aren't in the owner's manual - the harmonic dampener and the coilpacks.

The (unmodified) TTs are not less reliable, again assuming proper maintenance and synthetic oil changes.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
