1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo review from North America
"Performance for the individual/couple. Not a VW grocery getter!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cam seal.
General comments?
This car is/was awesome. Don't listen to the VW nerd who wrote the other comment. There is no question in anyone's mind that Toyota is a much more refined and superior auto manufacturer than VW! Come on, now!
The car has a 2.0 liter four cylinder packing 200 hp. Compare that to the anemic 170-180 of a V-6 Corrado, and you know what's up. Peformance: 0-60 about 6.5 Seconds, 1/4 mile: around 15.0. Top speed: around 149. This is a car you can buy for $6,000 and sell for the same or more even though it may have higher miles.
Not many problems, but when/if one surfaces it's usually costly.
