1992 Toyota MR2 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The 1992 MR2 did not see any notable changes from the year before, when it was completely redesigned.
The 1992 Toyota MR2 came in four trims: the coupe, the turbo coupe, the T-bar, and the turbo T-bar. The regular engine was a 2.2-liter, 130-horsepower four-cylinder. In Europe the regular engine was the 156 HP 3s-ge. The turbo charged version was 2.0-liters and offered 200 horsepower. It came standard with a five-speed manual transmission, but was available with a four-speed automatic. The 1991 MR2 was rear-wheel drive, with the engine mounted behind the seats. Fuel economy was about 20/27.
Those who drive the 1992 Toyota MR2 love the car for its peppiness, and say it handles well and is fun to drive. It gets good gas mileage for a sports car, and driving enthusiasts like the rear-wheel drive. However, some owners do have trouble with rust, and some have had leaks with the T-bar roof. Some drivers also experienced a loss of traction in the rear tires, which can be quite dangerous for drivers who are not used to rear-wheel drive vehicles.

Amazing handling, with the N/A engine the performance is a bit lacking, but more
than enough to have lots of fun. Great reliability, and an absolute blast to drive!
If you know how to drive, and like having fun while driving then get an MR2Oct 28, 2010

The speed, the sound, the looks. The solid engine is great for modifying, where easy gains are to be had. Fairly rare at the same time and does not go wrong, well yet. 25mpg, 250hp, great mid-engined rear wheel drive for peanuts.Jul 16, 2009

The motor is getting an upgrade as the standard 2L toesnt do it fot me any more, I am putting a 3s-gte motor in wich is a turbo motor capeble of almost 160kw standard on the flywheel. The interior is stil stock standarde wich is good enough coz it has a real sporty feel to it. The wheels are a set of 17" momo's that I had imported to fit the car, in the front it runs on 205/45/17 anr the rear on 215/40/17. The reason for this is because it is a mid engined rear wheel drive car. Apr 08, 2008

Most fun car I have ever owned. Nothing takes a corner quite like a mid-engine RWD car. Not many options on these but its a 2 seater sports car, so you can't expect much for creature comforts. This car comes with two different engine options. One a 2.2L naturally aspirated engine, and the other a 2.0L turbocharged engine. Both models are fun but the real fun and tuning potential comes from the 2.0L engine. Highly recommend to anyone who knows how to drive, and I don't mean just anyone with a license.Mar 14, 2008

What users have asked
Why does the fuse blow when switching the side lights on.
The footwell fuse- 15amp- blows when the light switch is turned on, the headlights still pop up and work but no side lights or dash lights and the turbo timer has stopped working. Ive checked all the bulbs, they are ok. HELP
