    Got my MR2 Turbo

    Got my 1991 MR2 Turbo this morning.

    $3900 with 149k miles on it.

    Black with black leather interior and T-Tops.

    The car runs beautifly, shifts with the lightness which I guess MR2s are known for... and just awesome. Even 150k miles later the engine runs strong as friggin hell.

    It will need a LOT of work however:
    - There is a small oil leak, somewhere...
    - The e-brake doesn't work.
    - The suspension is making a clunking noise.
    - And what frustrated me a bit, is that I took apart the center console just now to see what's up with the heater, and some fool cut a bunch of wires there! A whole buncha wires are literally just cut!... The interior in general looks like it took a lot of abuse, and semi-successful modding.

    I'll post some pics soon!

    Personal opinion.

    Thats obvious. But when comparing the 5S-FE MR2 to the 1ZZ-FE MR2, the 1ZZ-FE MR2 pwnz.

    Mods to the MR-S are endless as well, that goes for any car. You can drop in a 3S-GTE or a 2ZZ-GE into the MR-S if you'd like. But, both stock, I find the MR2 having a hard time competing with the MR-S' handling.

    actually you are wrong. the mkII is the car that doesnt fit in with the others. its heavy and doesnt handle as good. <br />
    <br />
    and if the mkIII is a porsche wannabe, then why isnt the mkII a ferrari wannabe?
