1988 Toyota MR2Review
Yes, Toyota Can Make A Fun Car When They Feel Like It. — Another great small sports car. Miatas might be better balanced but the mid-engine Mk 1 MR2 is more involving to drive. Gotta keep that rear end in line. Same size engine in slightly heavier body means same straight-line performance issues, but that means you just don't slow down. Can't find one without rust and/or very high mileage because people love driving them. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Roomier, more comfortable, more involving to drive than a Miata Cons: Heavy for its size, very rust-prone, impossible to find nowadays with reasonable mileage.

Gocart Gotz Power. — It steers like it is on rails, has the power curve of a motorcycle, seating for just 2 and only weighs 1800lbs. Getting to work, then back home has just gotten interesting. This car is truly before its time. It will be loved and improved on over the next few years. Pros: Its an over sized go cart with a t-top... Cons: I have little money to make it more custom. |

Toyota Mr2 1988 Coupe — Still turns heads, Getting rare now, 1.6 DOHC 16v engine more advanced than other engines from era, Redlines at just below 8000 revs, although limited power at low revs, Not really a performance sports car unless engine and handling are tuned, Low ride height and seating means it's fun to drive, Large removable sunroof great in summer, Cockpit interior design has lots of equiptment, Usual Toyota mechanical reliablitiy, Rust can kill them Pros: Classic car status, Great engine mounted in middle of car, Lots of equiptment for age, Deep exhaust tone, Fun to drive Cons: Heavier than you would expect, Handling and performance ok but not great, Limited boot space |

1988 Toyota Mr2 — 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. |

Toytota Mr2 Mk1 — 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 |

Mr2 — 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 |
