1999 Toyota MR2 BEAMS 2.0 N/A from Australia and New Zealand

Summary:

Unique car that looks and performs great!

Faults:

Nothing so far, but I haven't owned it that long.

The red paint is just starting to fade a bit, and requires a good polish to keep it looking good.

I have just done some standard servicing, and had the clutch replaced.

General Comments:

This is a non turbo MR2 with a BEAMS engine. Apparently only 1000 were made in Japan, so it is a quite rare model.

It has a different looking spoiler to the 1998 MR2, which helps tell them apart.

The performance is great for a non turbo. Not as quick as the turbo versions, but has a really nice power delivery.

Mine is completely standard, and looks great that way. The interior is very functional and minimalist.

Handles great, a bit firm for every day driving, but make sure you have good tyres, otherwise it's not hard to spin it around.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
