1987 Toyota MR2 review from North America
"Great car that gets a lot of attention from Law Enforcement"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sway bar end links are making noise.
Front Rotors are warped.
Rear calipers are stuck.
One of the metal lines coming from the engine and going to the heater core has rusted.
General comments?
This car is not very fast off the line (automatic transmission).
Once you get the engine above 3,500 RPM's it is a different story.
Handling is excellent, much better than my Buick.
So many miles and still running strong.
I got the car for free so I can't complain.
