1992 Toyota MR2 GT T-Bar Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"Superb Value for Speed. Do not do long trips though"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Roof seals leaked, Speed converter did not like the Traction Control, am now having to run in KMH.
General comments?
The car is gorgeous..
Its sleek with bodywork like new and it gives Impreza's a run for their money. £4300 for a 20000 mile import with Bimta Certs etc..
Compared to a supposed "GTI" 8v Golf you will know what GT really means.
Insurance costs are crazy for such a high performance car.
Golf 8v GTI £600/year
MR2 Turbo £673/year
Same excess, same legal cover, 9 years protected no claims. (Adrian Flux)
The only down side is comfort.
Having gone from a Colour Concept Golf with heated leather seats, this car feels cramped, almost like your laying down which does feel odd. Indicator stalks being on the right as in all Toyota's is a pain, but I suppose I will get used to it. The dash is very "plastic" and finding a replacement for the stock double din stereo is proving to be hard and expensive.
I am not going to comment on reliability as I have only had the car a short while.
