General comments?
I will never sell my MR2, no other car is like it for performance, handling and general economy.
Of course I am a real enthusiast and have the 89 supercharger too, with only 40k on the clock, in near new condition considering its 17 year age.
The sc is absolutely amazing for a small car and must have been awesome back in 1989.
Will I sell? Never. Would I recommend? Absolutely, keep up maintainence and it's a love affair.
