Nothing. I have replaced the battery, put new tires on it, and changed the oil regularly. Nothing ever goes wrong with this car!
This car was 6 years old when I bought it. I have driven it every day for over 5 years now, and nothing has ever gone wrong with it! Everything on it is the way it came from the factory (except the battery and tires). It still has the original spark plug wires and original belts.
It is amazing the response I get from this car. Every couple of weeks or so, I will be walking to my car in a parking lot and find people standing by my car pointing at it and talking. Seriously! When I go through drive-thru's, they ask me "what kind of car is that?" Everyone assumes it is some kind of exotic sports car.
I only paid $5500 for this car with 45000 miles on it and have only put one battery ($50) and one set of tires ($300) on it since then. I am thinking of doing a tuneup on it just out of guilt, but it runs like new with the original stuff on it. Even the engine still looks new.
I have test-driven other cars over the years, but can't find one that handles anywhere near as well as mine.
It also has a great "vrooom" sound to it that makes people turn their heads.
MR2s are great little cars, and sporty as heck. I enjoyed your comments!
I just purchased a 1991 Toyota MR2 Non turbo two months ago. I love this car! It is pretty fast, and has great handling. The weight distribution factor I had to get used to. But after I really got the feel for the car, it really rocks! It's great up in the hills. So far I have replaced two front tires with Dunlop High performance sport radial 215/40ZR 17. Also I replaced the catalytic converter, and also installed a muffler for a Flowmaster 2 chamber muffler. It is pretty loud, and no one around has one that sounds like mine. Also put in a new Bosch O2 sensor, and a few other maintenance things. The short throw shifter is pretty cool. For anyone looking to buy a Toyota MR 2, I suggest you go for it immediately; you will never drive a car like it.
