Used Toyota MR2 for Sale near Thornhill, ON

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.

Small, nippy, excellent handling, and a proper configuration. This is an excellent starter car for someone who loves driving (rather than journeying)

The Mk. 1 Toyota MR2 is among Toyota's greatest successes from the 80's. Inspired by the Fiat X1-9, Toyota crafted what is nearly the perfect small sports car: and excellent mix of handling and comfort; of fuel efficiency and fun. The first point about the MR2 is its weight. Being a two-seater, and also a very small car, it's very light. This is good, because the U.S. Spec 4AGE is not exactly a powerful engine. On a good day, it'll do 112HP. Again, though, because of the weight, the MR2 is still quick and zippy. However, the 4AGE is quite possibly the best engine Toyota has made. It's virtually bullet-proof. These engines have been known to run for over 300,000 miles. Also, you can open the taps now and then, and still average around 30 MPG, and even higher with an automatic transmission. Response is great and you never get tired of the sound. Listening to this engine rev to the 7500RPM redline is simply fantastic. The handling is one of the best points of the car. Its mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive layout keeps the center of gravity low and centered, and the power going to the right place. Push it too hard in a corner though, and you may get a little power-oversteer. Also, between a good sized trunk in the back and a small amount of space by the spare tire up front, there's plenty of cargo space. The interior as well is much roomier than you would expect, with better legroom than many minivans. To sum up, the 1984-1989 model MR2 is truly a triumph of Japanese innovations on European concepts. It is a poised, balanced, fast, and comfortable car that is great for a track car or a daily driver. And for those who feel the need for a bit more power, a supercharged version is also available. The Toyota MR2 is one of the greatest cars I've driven yet, and I think, will always be a favorite of mine.

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.

145hp from the stock supercharged MR2. It was fast, nimble and had a look all of it's own. I will have another one...it'll just take a while. There were only about 2500 in the USA. Mine was blue with blue interior. Great memories!
