1991 Toyota MR2 G-Limited review from UK and Ireland
"AWESOME Baby Ferrari 355!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The genuine stereo cassette/radio head unit stopped playing a year after buying the car. A nightmare to replace, as every MR2 has a different wiring system, why?...
The alternator was replaced at 220,955 kilometers.
General comments?
This car is for drivers with a wild streak of fun! It handles just beautifully on the open road! Just take off the roof and it's a fun-tastic experience that one just wants more and more!!
It's a head turner and a stunning looking car, but after all, it is the car in front, it is a Toyota! 0-100 km in 5.5 seconds - Porsche 911 eat your heart out! It’s a good feeling to see the Porsche on your rear view mirror in 1/2 a mile…
I guess I can speak highly enough about the car as it’s simply one of the best cars I have owned. Mine is a red one, excellent value for money, the car is fast and economically balanced. I guess if you look after your vehicle the way I do, the fuel efficiency is reached without a problem. I have owned the vehicle for the past 7 happy years of motoring. Keeping its service history up to date. Would I buy another one? Definitely without hesitation! It’s a shame Toyota stopped manufacturing it.
The only downside of the vehicle, is the fact that if one has to use the spare wheel, which is a space saver type, the normal wheel does not fit under the bonnet oops! So join a rescue service just in case. What I have done is purchased a rack with sucker feet that fits on the top of the engine lid, just in case I have to replace the wheel and I can not get assistance. The rack is high enough to allow air circulation to the engine through the vents…
Most owners find it difficult to find a good garage that knows how to service the vehicle properly. I am one of the lucky ones in the Scottish Highlands to have a good garage!
But if you looking for parts and advice, then join the MR2 Owners club for sure; lots of help and good gatherings!
