No faults, so far.
The car is pretty quick for a 1600, and sticks to the road like a limpet.
Great fun to drive, just not great on practicality as there is not much boot space and only 2 seats, but then you don't buy an MR2 to be practical.
I've had my 96 MR2 for 4 years now... drive it reasonably hard daily, but it's the 2.0l not the 1.6.
Engine revs at 70 are just over 3500, and with the radio at a comfortable level (can still speak to my passenger) the drone of the engine is masked.
Stick to 3000+ rpm and it flies.
Plus... that really tiny boot can carry over £130 worth of monthly groceries from Sainsbury's... NOT including the 2x24 crates of beer I usually add to that list!
