1990 Toyota MR2 Coupe review from UK and Ireland
"Fun Fun Fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The radiator packed up at 40k and the alternator at 42k, I did put a new battery on it at the same time, at the electric window on the drivers side froze down.
General comments?
This is the 1st and only sports car I have ever owned. But having said that I have drive, a number of others Esprit, Elan and 911. All were very quick, but the running cost were that much higher. The MR2 Mk1 is the first and the best, if they still made it I would buy another, the 1.6 engine has 122 BHP on tap. And is fun to drive in town and on track. Look for the best money can buy and make sure it has a FULL TOYOTA SERVICE HISTORY.
