1988 Toyota MR2 User Reviews

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

Little Red Rocket — i have a 1988 and this thing will rock. 4 speed auto have had it at 146 mph @ 6600-6800 rpm they were well be for there time but it dont like to stop fast in the rain and dont drive them in the snow

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

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!

Toyota Mr2 Baby — I like/love everything. Car Drives good. Sounds good, looks good, and if i could taste it, i bet it would taste good! Its red with racing rims and racing tires. Stock seats, new boot, new sound system. Custom Fuel injecttion. Fully loaded engine. 3.6 l. T-tops baby! Best thing i've ever seen in mmy ife
