1993 Toyota MR2 GTS Turbo from UK and Ireland - Comments

"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.

I own a 1993 gts also, but disagree that it drinks oil. This only shows incorrect mileage on the car.

She was actually leaking oil. A very slight drip from the sump!

I'm buying one very soon!

Was getting INS quotes for a scooby and it was £1800 and the MR2 is only £1026!

Can't wait.

I have a 91 MR2 GTI T bar it is very fast and could not be confused with a diesel.

Hmmm, still shouldn't have drunk oil though. At one stage my gts had a main rear seal leak, and I still never had to top it up between changes!

0-60 in 4.9 seconds is fiction if the car is stock.

I own a GT Turbo. The SW20 is nowhere near that fast in standard form.

I know it's a good car, but my god people are blind to the fact that it's not blistering quick. People who own them overhype the car too much, grrrrr.

It's a group B car not a group A. Grp A is a WRX Sti with prodrive, Supra, skyline etc.

Mine is a group A+ with 400 hp will take on most fast cars.
