1993 Toyota MR2 GTS Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"Makes the standard MR2 seem like a slow, old diesel"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
I've always had fast cars (cash permitting), but this is by far the fastest for the money that I've found thus far.
I test drove a standard MR2 and thought it was quite nippy, then drove a turbo - absolutely no comparison!
It pulls hard in every gear (0-60 in 4.9 seconds), and even skips from 80mph to 100mph in 5th like it's in 3rd.
My only criticisms of it are that it eats rear tyres (but it's bound to), drinks oil, it can be tail happy, the cabin gets very hot and long drives can be painful on your back.
Other than those points and the high insurance it's a car with super car performance for mondeo money.
