1992 Toyota MR2 review from North America
"The best sports car I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Temperature sender had failed at 120000.
Rear right wheel bearing died at 120000.
CD Player died at around 12000.
Shocks where dead at 121000.
Exhaust bolts were loose at 125000.
Exhaust manifold gasket blew at 150000.
Cluster light when out at 150000 and then magically came back!
Front and rear axle boots disintegrating slowly past ~150000.
General comments?
Turbo still going strong at 157000.
Handling is awesome for an 11 yo car.
Very comfortable and spacious for a small car.
Styling looks just as good as it did more than 10 years ago.
Never, ever, ever have your MR2 serviced at a dealer, ever!
Mid-engine cars are awesome!
