After going with the whole drifting scene for a while I decided to get a car I've always wanted when I first got into cars. The MR2. The handling on it from factory is pretty good, I wouldn't say its anything like a ferrari or an S2000. With the right driver however the MR2 can be fast around a corner. With the right tuner it can also be a great fast car. Cost of the car is not too bad so long as your looking to buy the condition of a car you want. The car has great acceleration from factory and can easily be made to have over 250hp with only a few bolt ons. I personally think the car looks great but some people don't like how the car looks. Braking so long as its up to spec is great, has great stopping power even when compared to super cars. The car has been really reliable for me didn't need anything besides the normal routine tuneup. I don't recommend this to a beginning driver, your asking for trouble driving one of these before getting some kind of driving experience at least in an FR vehicle.

For performance the MR2 is outclassed by most similar imports in a straight line. However, it can handle better than any Supra or Skyline you'll ever lay eyes on and is a very nimble car. It gets up to speed very quickly due to the turbo, and has very responsive disc brakes. It's a small car so easy to maneuver and fun to drive. So far no repairs needed. The front struts do squeak going over bumps but I don't have the money to replace them. The T-tops do rattle at high speed but that's because the seals need to be replaced. It leaks when it rains a little, again because of the seals. Appearance wise I think the car is stunning. It's a very unique vehicle and you don't see many on the road. Inside it has a great leather interior with some great bucket seats and a nice center console. It also has storage racks behind the seats for the t-top roof sections to hide behind, but these little ledges can be used for general storage when the roof is up. Outside it has a lot of nice gentle curves but nothing over the top. Gas mileage on this car varies. The engine is small so if you're a feather-foot you can get upwards of 25 mpg easily. However if you're a leadfoot and you use the turbo too much you're looking more at around 15-19 mpg. Maintenance varies. Most parts are cheap being a Toyota, but labor can be pricey because the drivetrain is very difficult to access without pulling the engine out the bottom sometimes. The car is wicked fun to drive. Mine is making 288 whp right now, and it's like a rocket. It weighs very little and is very small, so it accelerates very quickly.

This car is great for the money I bought it for. It's fast, looks great, can carry a great deal of stuff to the track and did I mention that it looks great? The styling of this car is classic, the lines all flow nicely and nothing looks out of place. The performance is there and when it's time to go, you can do that easily by mashing the gas :) I bought the car for racing and was able to do so for awhile, then ended up daily driving it. Snow tires made the car a tank in the snow, no problems whatsoever and very easy to drift around a snowy lot for some fun too :) I'd recommend this car if you're looking for something fun and fast, with a little bit of money, it can definitely go faster too. It's a Toyota, so the reliability is there but it's not terribly easy to work on. All in all, a great car to own - if you can take care of it, it'll take care of you.
