1986 Toyota MR2 review from North America
"Nice joy ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Parts.
Air conditioner.
Struts.
Speedometer.
General comments?
There was a 200.00 broken part when I first purchased the vehicle. I do not know what this part was, but it prevented the vehicle from running once it was started.
The A/C was broken when I bought the car.
The struts were in bad shape. The car rattled even when I drove in a straight line. This car also had problems with wheel alignment, because it had been wrecked without repair.
The speedometer did not work either and it was a real pain trying to guess how fast I was driving.
I have owned 3 of these cars and I would say that they are really good buys, but totally over priced. They have awesome power that you just wouldn't believe without driving it yourself. Nice joy ride.
