1991 Toyota MR2 GT T-Bar review from UK and Ireland
"MR2 GT - Just amazing to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seats are well worn.
Passenger electric window goes up, but not down.
Electric mirrors do not work at all.
General comments?
This is a fantastic car to drive; both in performance, and in handling (in the dry)!
Performance wise it's very fast, and the throttle response is fantastic - you really do have to keep an eye out on the clock, just to be sure you're not speeding; the car accelerates a lot faster than it actually feels, which is a nice surprise, and smoother running, rather than being thrown back in the seat!
Handling in the dry is like the car is on rails; it follows your every twitch of the steering wheel exactly! Around corners it’s amazing - When it comes to the wet, it's a whole other story - if you're not careful, you'll spin very easily. I nearly spun today coming around a corner, but gathered it up!
The main thing to remember in the wet is to brake - turn - then accelerate... If you accelerate too hard during or coming out of a corner, you'll lose the car. Also, you should spend more money on the back tyres then the front tyres for traction.
All in all, it’s a dream to drive.
