A few years after we bought this car, the battery began to die. We had it fixed and replaced several times. Leave the door open too long and battery dies. Have to wait several minutes before it can start. Just a year ago, the whole auto transmission broke down and failed while driving it to work. It cost about US$2000 to replace with a new one.
I wish Toyota would install better suspension on this car. Bumps and rutted roads make the ride dreadful. Plenty of engine noise enters the cabin. The new transmission we've just installed jerks eruptively when placed in gear.
Acceleration is slow for a sports car. The trunk is an absolute joke. It's too small to fit even a standard size luggage. I wouldn't go shop at Costco with that car. However, fuel economy is very good and handling is excellent. Overall assessment: A fun car to drive.
Dude, it's a sports-car. It's supposed to have a rough ride to compensate for its good handling capabilities.
MR2 and automatic are an oxymoron. A turbo 5-speed might well jerk your head clean off.
