Mid-engine, RWD, light, spunky, has a lot of potential, cheap, easy to work on, So many things I want to do to it.
It's acceleration really starts to pull only after 4k - 6.5k ( for NA).

!!!DON'T NOT BUY YOKOMO TIRES (P195/60/R14 @ 400K MILES WARRANTY)!!! you will slip and slid all year long...that is you make through the winter. I recommend Bridgestone potenzas re-92.

Real sport cars start with being RWD not wrong wheel drive aka FWD

Pros — Cool, real, sports car for two. Good MPG (dependind on how you drive)
Cons — Only two seats, not a lot of room for audio or much of anthing else.

Performance - You cant get anything that handles like this car for the same money. Brakes not quite so good in the fact that they try to kill you when you use them. Accelerations isn't blistering but some would say that 7.5 seconds to 62mph is fairly quick. The twin cam engine growls in low revs and screams once you get past 4800rpm.
Build Quality- Well it's old now, but everything seems good, it is a Toyota after all.
Appearance- Absolutely awesome retro styling.
Cost of ownership- maintenace is low, mainly bodywork needed on the older models. Mpg on test is not as good as a volvo 2.5 v6 (personally think the test was flawed). I would say you get about 28mpg driving not too conservative.
Fun Factor - Give me the name of a car that costs less than £5000...... This is more fun!

Pros — Handling, looks, sound, price
Cons — None

alright car to be honest. rear weel drive so is fun as hell in the wet holds like anything in the dry and the removable roof is nice when the sun occasionally comes out. Full leather interiors comfortable and clean the main problem with the car is it is prone to rusting

Pros — fun to drive and good in summer
Cons — doesn't like clutches

Supercharged MKI MR2s were fast and fun little go-karts for the street. They were quick but not fast and they handled well but were still easy to drive.

Pros — Quick, Handles well, Good Gas Mileage, Unique
Cons — Dated looking, difficult to service.

Small, nippy, excellent handling, and a proper configuration. This is an excellent starter car for someone who loves driving (rather than journeying)

Pros — Small, light, handling
Cons — Slow by today's standards

I loved this car. Only children could make you sell this car. Most fun I had with a my clothes on in a car. What can I say? You can't argue with physics. Mid engine, rear wheel drive, small, light, powerful car. There was nothing like the feeling of being pushed around corners by the weight of the engine and the wheels driving the chassis. Awww yeaaaaaah. This is the car that made me feel  like a 10 year old boy driving it. You can't put a price on this feeling. There is no better car under $10K.

Pros — Mid engined, supercharged, rear wheel drive, glass t-tops, leather, mags, high revving, torquey engine. Go-kart handling. No BS (like A/C or power steering)
Cons — NONE
