Faults:

Nothing as of yet!

General Comments:

Had the car 5 weeks which I bought from an import specialist for 5k, which sounds like a lot, but to look at it its worth every penny.

Every single part of this car is immaculate, the body work has no rust, all the electrics work perfectly, and the engine purrs sweetly.

But none of this matters compared to how this thing moves, it's a rocket! Put your foot down and everybody`s left behind.

When I bought the car it had a number of performance parts on it e.g. exhaust, filter, dump valve etc and when you open the throttle there is a gorgeous sea of noise that makes everybody turn around, kids adore this car and puts new sports coupes to shame.

All I can say is thank you Toyota for making such an awesome vehicle, long live the MR2!

Faults:

No actual faults with the car so far.

General Comments:

The Mr2 is a very good sports car.

The suspension is very hard and you feel every little bump in the road.

Its very quick, after 4000 revs it takes of like a rocket.

Getting in and out of the car is very difficult.

There's not much leg room.

I wouldn't have any other car other than an Mr2.

Once you have owned one you will agree with me,

Faults:

Temperature sender had failed at 120000.

Rear right wheel bearing died at 120000.

CD Player died at around 12000.

Shocks where dead at 121000.

Exhaust bolts were loose at 125000.

Exhaust manifold gasket blew at 150000.

Cluster light when out at 150000 and then magically came back!

Front and rear axle boots disintegrating slowly past ~150000.

General Comments:

Turbo still going strong at 157000.

Handling is awesome for an 11 yo car.

Very comfortable and spacious for a small car.

Styling looks just as good as it did more than 10 years ago.

Never, ever, ever have your MR2 serviced at a dealer, ever!

Mid-engine cars are awesome!

Faults:

Absolutely nothing outside of scheduled maintenance.

General Comments:

I've owned a 62 Corvette, 4 911's, a Ferrari, etc. There is nothing like the MR2 Turbo! The car feels like a Lear Jet when cruising on the freeway, a go-cart on the turns. Has all the performance of the Porsche with none of the maintenance. Gorgeous Ferrari inspired looks, Japanese quality mechanics. This is a dream car. Purrs like a kitchen until you want to hit the afterburners, then this car screams. Excellent mileage, especially on the highway (30 mpg!).

Feels like it will go 350,000 miles, easy. T-top system is the best of any car I've seen, giving it tremendous sports car versatility. I've had guys in $200,000 Lamborghini's admiring it! If you can find a good one, buy it...they're getting very rare. I think this is among the finest cars ever made. Mileage doesn't matter if its been loved. It's a Toyota! Oh, what a feeling!

Faults:

The T-tops leaked when I got it.

Driver's side seat has a hole where the seat-belt has worn.

Sometimes when the engine is cold, 2nd gear grinds when you first shift into it.

Valve-guide seals needed to be replaced. This caused the engine to smoke when you first crank it up.

Rear brake calipers leaked but this was easily fixed.

Passenger side power window works periodically. Has a short somewhere.

General Comments:

This is the most fun car I have ever owned in my life! It's a car that is geared mainly for winding back roads because of its superb handling and quickness.

Controls in the cabin are very easy to use even when taking a hairpin turn at 50 miles per hour!

Very economical on gas for the performance.
