Toyota MR2 Mk2

Good points

A joy to own and drive. Reasonable power, very comfortable with perfectly acceptable handling if driven with sensitivity. Every journey feels like a special occasion, especially with the roof off.

Bad points

Ferrari looks can create jealousy.

I have a 1995 NA revision 3 with 175 bhp. She is in fantastic condition for a twenty year old car, is just approaching 100,000 miles, starts first time and sounds wonderful above 4,000 rpm. The engine is smooth, flexible and potent enough. Driven hard she'll do 30 mpg, but can be coaxed to over 40 when driven economically. She is also a joy to fettle and polish! I have owned many performance cars over the years and this one has a similar sense of ownership to that of my beloved Caterham 7.

Re practicality - it's a sports car and it has a boot and a 'frunk'. I know of no more practical sports car.

Had this car just over ten years and has never broke down, runs well drives well. Looks like a baby Ferrari without the expense. Since having this car I have only ever changed the clutch once, which can be pricey, but worth it. The obvious would be regular servicing once a year, tyres and car tax which has recently arisen to £120 for 6 months. Petrol at today's price of £1.30 per litre I can fill up around £50-£55 and get about 250-270 miles to the tank, depending whether you are on motorways or around town.

Other than the usual I can not complain. You get what you pay for and as long as you look after your car it will run for a long time.

Mr2 is one of the best mr cars for the price.Ive got a 1996 gti 178bhp and its quicker then BMW 323.its fastest 2liter i have driven.car really comes alive after 4500 rpm then exhaust note changes and becomes more aggressive and car feels very fast and pulls all the way to 137+.handling is excellent on dry it feels like its on rails.and its the most reliable sports car around and will never let you down if you treat it right.next is to buy Mr2 turbo.

Wanted to own a Toyota MR2 SW20 G-limited for 15 years and finally, after many cars in-between I got a red second hand T-Top in great cond and I love it! It is surprisingly roomy for a 2-seater, the space at the front is probably the same as one would expect from a full-sized sedan and the boot fits all I need, even weekly groceries. It drives beautifully, handles amazingly well, economical to run and is sure a looker to behold. She even has a name - Martootsie! Got the new car scent smellies sorted, red-and-black seat covers and matching carpets over the originals (that were in great condition, BTW, as well as the interior) and I am away! The only downside is leaky T-top seals, which seem to be common and a disadvantage in NZ where is rains a lot all year, so it's drying out every time there is sun, otherwise I get my butt wet

I bought an mr2 mk 2 non turbo 20gti last month. I had lots of sports cars like mrs , mercedes slk , bmw z3 , alfa spider and much more but I had never have such a beautiful car like this toyota mr2 . It makes and drive me crazy all the way and makes me very happy . It is a coupe and a convertible as well when I take the T-roof off on sunny days. It is totally good value for money .

The Toyota MR2 Mk2 is an absolutly Fantastic Little sports car, espesially for £1000 (just be ready for petrol bills).

The Toyota MR2 Mk2 is a great car, economical to run, reliable with good perfomance,good looking car that stands out against all the boring cars now on the roads.

The Toyota MR2 Mk2 is a good fast sports car
