1992 Toyota MR2 Non-Turbo review from North America
"An extremely fun to drive car and a reliable every day car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The T-tops leaked when I got it.
Driver's side seat has a hole where the seat-belt has worn.
Sometimes when the engine is cold, 2nd gear grinds when you first shift into it.
Valve-guide seals needed to be replaced. This caused the engine to smoke when you first crank it up.
Rear brake calipers leaked but this was easily fixed.
Passenger side power window works periodically. Has a short somewhere.
General comments?
This is the most fun car I have ever owned in my life! It's a car that is geared mainly for winding back roads because of its superb handling and quickness.
Controls in the cabin are very easy to use even when taking a hairpin turn at 50 miles per hour!
Very economical on gas for the performance.
