I loved my mr2.It handled like a gokart and went like stink.Even when standard.They're a bit dodgy in the wet under braking with no weight over the front and even dodgier in the snow! The only downside to them is they're a pig to work on compared to a front engined rwd car.  |

I like the old MR2. Not sure if it's really my thing.... I'm more of a 70s barge sort of guy  .... but I like the angular-ness of em.  |

I love em!!
Took one for a test drive a few years back and out of all the cars I test drove at the time, it was the only one that made me want to cowboy whoop when I drove it.
Would have one in a flash if I were in the market for a silly car

OK so maybe I should have said a silly road car  My little olop is sturdy and reliable .... but not very exciting bless it. I loved the old mr2s because they had something of the russian roulette about them in the wet ..... before the days of 'safety first' where you had 5 airbags per person, anti lock, anti skid, anti fun everything. |

MR2s are nice, not normally a sports car guy (more into saloons, estates, vans, pickups and most other practical things! ;D ;D ;D ;D) but mk 1 MR2s are well cool! |

I used to really dislike Mk1 MR2s, always thought they had the styling of a steam iron but over the years I've warmed to them and now I think they're pretty funky..... still not keen on the toast rack on the rear quarter though |
