Slight pinking between 3 and 4k rpm, and a slight leak from T Bar roof seal.
A superb sports car - one of the prettiest, with great handling and performance, but which is very economical - 34 mpg without fail for the performance it gives, which I find amazing. Servicing is very reasonable and parts, no more than any Japanese car. The only disadvantages I can see if you can manage with 2 seats are; Insurance group is high and it eats rear tyres - 15,000 miles from a pair is the norm. I even have a tow bar fitted to mine so the smallish boot is no problem! Buy one! After 2 years of ownership I still look for excuses to go out for a drive!
I must agree, the MR2 is the best car I've owned also. Few things though :- Back Tyres - don't cut corners with cheap tyres because 1' they won't even get you 10,000 miles 2' they don't suit the car - It's like wearing a Gucci shirt with Burton trousers. If you have got one and never had the need to change a tyre yourself, have a practise lifting the car with the jack outside your house.It's the heaviest car I've ever known and could cause you problems on uncertain surfaces. And check your T-Bar roof seals before you buy. Silicon filler can be easily spotted.
