Are Toyota MR2's a good car. Thinking about buying one?

Answer 1

they drive like a go kart, great fun...bit chavvy, but fun nevertheless

Answer 2

Type 1: (AW11)
If the car didn't live in a sunny state, expect to find rust.
The handling of the type 1 is the best of the 3 types.
You need an expert when buying one, and an expert to keep it rolling if you have cooling problems with it.

Type 2: (SW20/SW22/Turbo/...)
This type doesn't have the best handling of the 3.
Rust isn't yet a (big) problem with this type.
This type is sometimes called a 'mini Ferrari' (because of it's shape).

Type 3:
Most of them will be too young to have rust problems.
Handling is between type 1 and 2.
Technically, this will be the best. Generally, Toyota's are more reliable then American cars (but you always have exceptions).

If you can find a type 1 without rust and technical (cooling: take a LONG testdrive!! If they don't allow you to do that, DO NOT buy a type 1) problems, go for that one. Otherwise, go for the type you'd like most or which you can afford.

If you need more performance, go for a Lotus Elise.

Answer 3

Toyota doesn't make a bad car. No bull.

I've had six and loved them all. I'd never buy another brand.....and I've also owned 2-Fords, 2-Chevy's 2-Volkswagens and even an MG.

Ya can't beat Toyota for quality and dependability.

Answer 4

they are slightly to handle on snow, and consistent with probability even rain. The rain dealing with will require some severe priced treads. i do no longer think of that there are any sturdy snow shoes for it. residing with one is like residing with the different vehicle of Lotus origins (i think of Lotus had a brilliant hand interior the layout). while you're occurring a protracted holiday, do no longer plan on taking lots bags with you. Be arranged for each youthful punk in a Honda to think of they might tutor you up. study to perceive the sleepers (like an SHO) to maintain you from being confirmed up. Me, i'm going to stay with a Miata (purely as lots exciting for fewer dollars and not as lots harassment from the law enforcement officers).
