Toyota MR2
 
What are you general opinions of these cars? I know a lot about them and have looked at a couple over the years. Just wondering if there are any owners on here or anyone with driving impressions. I was primarily looking at the SW20 (91-98).

i'm rolling in one right now, my bes friend is letting me take care of it while he is gone in another country. NA versions are very torquey but lacking on top. turbo versions are the opposite. driving HARD in one is pretty hard to get used to. Correcting ovrsteer in one is counterintuitive. Where you'd usually lift during oversteer to regain control you have to stay in the throttle and correct w/ the steering wheel. It is definitely hard to get used to, but turn in is RIGHT NOW, and response is amazing.

they are toyotas only true sports car. The sw20 is the ----, hard to work on, but man do they haul, leather, and the looks, the only car I deem worthy enough to replace my civic hatch. The 93+ have better brakes and ----. My friend has ordered one from japan (sw20 90), and it will be legal for importation here in march, it will then be placed in my garage for a full install of everything HKS under the red sun. I'll have a full report on what a stand alone tuned stock block sw20 pimped to the tits rides like 8)

Awesome thanks for the input Bamb. I have always loved them and have driven an 87 supercharged version before but I really like the looks for the MKII. Mostly because of the turbo option.
