Up until fairly recently, you may not have associated Toyota with performance cars, at least not in the last two decades. But seemingly overnight, Toyota has transformed into a brand offering some of the most exciting cars available on the market today.

A quartet of driver-focused cars is now available on the South African market, in the form of the GR Yaris, GR Corolla, GR 86 and GR Supra, the last of which is now available with a manual transmission.

This is a bold move from Toyota this really could be one of the last manual, rear-wheel-drive sportscars ever made. And along with the new 'box, they've significantly bumped the power up too.

Our video journalist, Ciro De Siena, was particularly excited to get his hands on this updated Supra and, for his Christmas and birthday present, we shut down a mountain pass for the day to film this review.

Is the manual Supra a swing or a miss from Toyota? We'd love to hear what you think in the comments below.
