1990 Toyota MR2 G-Ltd review from UK and Ireland

Nothing dramatic, the power steering has failed to work a couple of times on the car when starting up. This is easily remedied by switching the ignition on and off about 10 times (apparently this is a trait of the car as I read on the MR2 owners site) Or could be a loose relay switch.

Squealing noise during winter meant I had to change the two fan belts. In my second winter I've noticed a couple of squeals on start up, but nothing as bad as it was. Apparently Belt Dressing spray does the trick.

This car is an excellent purchase for someone who wants to buy a sports car on a budget. I bought mine for £2650 and bar a couple of niggles as mentioned above the car is an absolute joy to own. It feels much more expensive then it is and still manages to turn a head or two.

If you buy a G-ltd spec version you get all the creature comforts such as electric windows, CD player and Air Con.

My favorite thing about this car is its performance. Press the Power button (it's an auto remember) and the car revs like a demon - a 911 it isn't, but there is more than enough there to make me smile!

There is a great network of enthusiasts out their to solve any problems you have and websites like www.mr2dc.com are to be commended for advice and support.

Overall it's a very reliable and fun car to own and despite what some say its easy to get parts and insurance is also not a problem.
