1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo review from North America
"Fast, handles good, and dead reliable. What more could you want?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing. Absolutely great quality. The only thing I changed was the valve cover gasket because I took off the valve cover to paint it so I replaced the gasket while I was at it.
General comments?
I have had 6 cars and this one is definitely my favorite. The only reason I don't have it is because it was rear-ended after I had it for only 8 months. During this time however the car was amazing. I bought it all original and put on a boost controller. The car was capable of beating many new high performance cars just by turning up the boost. Mustang GT's, Honda's with swaps, Wrx's and more. I did dyno runs with the car, drove to the track and made a few passes, and drove home without problem. I would absolutely recommend this car to anyone and am currently searching for another one myself.
