1992 Toyota MR2 GTS Turbo from UK and Ireland - Comments

Slight leak on the drivers side of the drainage hole on the roof, blocked up and leaking, apart from that nothing has gone wrong yet, only had it 6 days so we shall see.

Getting a good one can be a nightmare, mine is a Japanese import and you really should drive and see a few before you buy, don't buy a heavily modded one or you will be in problem city.

Most heavy modded Jap turbo's have been raced!

H O W F A S T !!!!!!!!!!!

Got the shock of my life when I first put my foot down, 1992 model is 225bhp, 1994 model is 248bhp, mine will do 0-60 in 5.8 and hits 158mph in standard form, but has larger wheels, performance exhaust and air filter, a real head turner, only thing I have against it is the fuel consumption. Driving easy and you can expect 300 miles out of a full tank at £36, drive like Satan on speed and you can expect 250 miles.

Faster than a Cossie, slower than the Enterprise.

This car is mad, get one as soon as you can.

Fuel consumption doesn't sound that bad :-)) I wack £50 in my Carlos Sainz every week and have never broken 300 miles on that... even driving like my grandmother!!

If any owners read this... how's the handling? I love cars that handle well, and have heard mixed things about the Mk2, so I'm going for a Mk1.

Get your boost increased and watch your 0-60 time drop to below 5 seconds. I've had a HKS induction kit and a free-flow exhaust fitted, along with my boost upped to 1.3 bar (safe) and it cracks 60 mph in 4.9secs with no noticeable change in fuel consumption.

I own a 1992 gt-s, Increase the boost and watch you're turbo life go downhill, The fuel consumption is excellent for such a powerful car, compare it to scoobs n evo's and you're laughing.

The car is a bit Jekyll and Hyde, impossible to lose in the dry and impossible to keep on the road in the wet! Its all good fun though!

Your comments on fuel consumption don't sound right, my N/A MR2 struggles to get 250 miles out of a tank driving quite steadily so a turbo will have no chance, 200 miles maybe. Still, people aren't exactly going to buy this car for economy!

Well its his car, and he is driving it, so he should know, maybe urs needs a tune up or something.

After readeing other reviews on turbo mr2's his figures don't seem far out.

My car is fairly stock.

Only have a performance air filter, response has become better, but the sound didn't change much (I was hoping it will sound a bit more like a Ferrari being mid-engined and all)

Now you can hear the turbo whine twice as loud (which I haven't decided if I like yet). It sounds like every time I open the throttle the air-condition goes MAD!

As far as the fuel consumption goes.. hm I get about 50-60 miles on a 10 pounds note. and my car is tuned so I don't know what is the first guy is talking about.

Well he posted it in 1999 the price of petrol has gone up hugely since then. Which is why his fuel consumption sounds so good.

In reply to earlier post - the turbo would give better fuel consumption if driven on the turbo and not like a loon as you get better volumetric efficiency from the cylinders which = better fuel consumption, Though who wouldn't drive the Turbo hard lol, you don't buy a car like this for fuel consumption. Wish I'd got the turbo instead of early 158bhp GT model : (.
