1991 Toyota MR2 review from North America
"A great car that should have automatically came t-tops and manual"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Being as stupid as I am I accidentally drained the transmission instead of the oil.
Starter went at 108,000 and was replaced.
Replaced the stock air filter with a APC RE3 intake.
General comments?
1st off let me start by saying I think this car is one of the most sexy cars out there today still. It's design was flawless. You get so many looks from females and guys. The exhaust rumble on mine was great. It sounded like the car had some serious tuning done. What I didn't like about the car was that unfortunately I had a 2.2 5sfe N/A automatic Toyota MR2 with the removable sunroof. The seating was done well with the small problem that a long car ride may be a pain because there isn't much space to recline the seats. Other than that the car is still a great car, but I would recommend that if you plan on buying an MR2 make sure you get manual and t-tops. Also if you like this car I would suggest looking at a Honda Del Sol as well before your purchase.
