1992 Toyota MR2 Turbo review from North America
"The Most Amazing Sports Car Ever Made!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing outside of scheduled maintenance.
General comments?
I've owned a 62 Corvette, 4 911's, a Ferrari, etc. There is nothing like the MR2 Turbo! The car feels like a Lear Jet when cruising on the freeway, a go-cart on the turns. Has all the performance of the Porsche with none of the maintenance. Gorgeous Ferrari inspired looks, Japanese quality mechanics. This is a dream car. Purrs like a kitchen until you want to hit the afterburners, then this car screams. Excellent mileage, especially on the highway (30 mpg!).
Feels like it will go 350,000 miles, easy. T-top system is the best of any car I've seen, giving it tremendous sports car versatility. I've had guys in $200,000 Lamborghini's admiring it! If you can find a good one, buy it...they're getting very rare. I think this is among the finest cars ever made. Mileage doesn't matter if its been loved. It's a Toyota! Oh, what a feeling!
