Review

When my grandfather passed away a few years ago, i inherited this cut little car. He wasn't big into paying attention to it's needs and was always a cheapskate, so some things aren't in the best shape, but it still going good! I have been trying to restore it to all its original splendor, but its rather pricey to do in high school... This car had kind of a ruuf life, so it doesn't have as much power as it used to, but it gets goin' when you aren't payin attention. haha, great little car!

Favorite Features

I love the sporty look of this car, and when the top is down the car looks like a million bucks! My friends love riding around with me! I also love the small compact build, it's easy to park into tight parkin lots!

Suggested Improvements

The cloth top that was on there before was all torn up so I replaced it, then the new one got a small rip. It's kinda hard to see out the window on the cloth top.

Wow! I've loved every minute of owning this great little red car. Perfect for local runabout--has always been reliable and trouble free, and loads of fun to drive. Sorry to part with this old friend, but with all the SUVs and trucks on the road, I am not as confident in myself as I used to be. It's time for someone else to enjoy this wonderful auto.

Review

I can't complain at all!! Friends of mine was moving last fall and they had this car sitting out on their field, said it wasn't working. And asked I wanted to have it?! A question answered with a YES! Turned out it was a simple fuse. Definitely a head turner due to the fact few people knows about this car. Still all original, NO RUST!, and with a top not leaking! New tires is on it's way! Arctic White with blue/red stripes. A perfect summer car. Average mpg (doing longdistance driving: 38mpg!)

Favorite Features

Over the years 1991-1994 for worldwide distribution: 66382 cars, Of the -91 there should be some 2000 cars left of the XR2 in the world. A rare little car, unfortunate in the shadow of Mazda Miata

Suggested Improvements

None possible as this car is out of production since long.

I paid more than the blue book value for this car, have done almost $2,500 in repairs and maintenance, but do NOT regret it all. It drives great, handles well with alot of zip! The Turbo has great performance and I still get 30-36 mpg on this doll. I painted her red of course, and it turns heads. There were only a few of these made and I enjoy having one of the better ones now and I didn't have to go into big debt for a cute, sporty, rare classic!

Favorite Features

Performance and great gas mileage. Cute spoiler and body style. Big trunk for such a little car.

Suggested Improvements

Top has air leaks.
