1989 Toyota MR2 review from UK and Ireland
"The best car I could own without winning the lottery"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Plastic headlight selector switch cracked - but still operates perfectly with a spot of super-glue.
Leather seats showing age - to be expected after 15 years!
Ashtray is fiddly to remove - much cleaning to be done after it 'just jumps out'
General comments?
This car is lightning quick and handles like it's nailed to rails.
The T-Bar is an amazing invention.
More spacious interior than you would think.
