I agree. I've always loved the look of those MR2's, and the fact that they weigh next to nothing, some mods will make them pretty quick. I dunno if a 2 seater is ideal for you, but if it is, get the MR2 and stay in the family.

i like the MR2. how are old turbo's though? i heard a turbo usually wears out after kinda high milage. the only thing that steers me away from an Mr2 is the headlights. remember i am a lighting freakin. I need a car that i can do a HID retrofit in. lol

 

Actually, your thinking of the 83-85 1/2 944 N/A, now they are a POS. I have been in this business a long time I have seen the Turbos go for 2-300,000 miles without an issue if the regular maintance has been done.

IYes, you are right about the MR2 Turbo. I actually forgot about those cars. A blast to drive.

 

I had a 97 eclipse GS-T and it was one of the best cars I have ever had. Not a single problem in 60K miles when I traded it in and I ran it pretty hard all 60K. Very fast for it's time, a bit underpowered in modern terms, but it is quick.

The stock Infinity sound system rocked, and I loved that turbo whine.

Best performing car I ever had was the 01' Corvette Z06, but with 22 trips to the dealer in 2 years I lemon lawed it.

Oh, I quick note. If you get a turbo car remember it needs to be warmed up and cooled down for longevity.
