1991 Toyota MR2 review from North America
"An exotic car for normal people on a budget"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It goes through rear tires like crazy!! The outside looks great, but a closer look on the inside of the treads show heavy wear in a little as 25000 kms. This is just the cost of excellent and aggressive handling. If you want to play you have to pay! Otherwise this car has been rock solid.
General comments?
Handles like a dream, mid-engine is the only way to go. Very reliable engine and tranny. I get positive comments on it's looks all the time. The only criticism I have is with the t-roofs. They tend to rattle and sqweek a lot going over bumps. I try to drive with them removed as often as possible just so I don't have to listen to the noise.
