1993 Toyota MR2
The MR2 is very well engineered and built. Mine has been trouble free and the quality of the engineering (good materials selection) makes the car easy to keep looking new. The handling of the 93 and 94 models is very friendly. It isn't a Lotus Elise, but it is as close as you are going to get for less than the sales tax on a new Elise. It actually is a better built car, which is probably the reason Toyota could not make money selling them.
A Gem
Truly a work of art aesthetically and on the road, one feels connected to the ground. The weight distribution is divine, and I fell in love with this car from the very first time I saw one over 10 years ago.
A Real Functional Sports Car
This '93 Turbo MR2 is a pure Japanese uncompromised sports car engineered through and through with race-bred knowledge acquired directly from Toyota's TRD racing team. This car was built for luxury and speed. It's handling will match or beat Porsches on dry roads, and it's acceleration matches or tops anything American- made. It's akin to owning a Ferrari, only it's Japanese.
MR2 again
As I drove around town in my MKI MR2 I would dream about the day I would find my MKII. That would be the only car to take me out of my MKI. I found it, and was in no way disappointed. The styling, the performance, the ride that is the reputation of the MR2 still lives on. You would think that a 10+ year old car would be passe' but this baby will turn heads all day long! Economical and stylish, powerful and practical.
Funnest car to drive
I bought my first MR2 with over 143000 miles. Hesitate to pay the 2400 dollars, I bought it anyway and would do it again. The car was very reliable and would not break down. I thought maybe I would drive it a few years until it breaks down. It took a side collision to put her out of commission and the insurance paid me 3400 after 6 years of driving and only minimal maintenance (oil changes, brakes, clutch etc).
Exotic look, Camry at heart.
Going from 2000 Celica GTS to 93 MR2, no regret. Nowadays Toyotas are crap, if they can save $1 on every Camry/Corolla they sell they can save millions per year, therefore they now use the cheapest parts possible on every car they build. No oil leak, no major problem after 10 yrs. Stunning automobile. It was in production for almost 10 yrs just like the NSX, RX7, 300ZX, etc.....The golden age of Japanese cars were early 1990s.
Italian Styling, Japanese Quality
My 1994 Turbo is still running incredibly well. This is a high performance car. Just take one listen to the exhaust note and you'll see what I mean.I have no major repairs on the car. Toyota's quality goes a long way. I also have a 1999 Volkswagen Passat GLX which hasn't held up 1/10th as well.The clutch is a little stiff, I would only recommend this car to people who are sports car enthusiasts - sure is fun to watch valets stall out.If you are a sports car nut looking for Italian styling with bullet proof Japanese quality, this is the car for you. Look elsewhere for luxury over performance
mr2's rock!
Best car ever made in my opinion. Affordable, reliable, unique, very solid, absoloute blast driving this car. If you are looking for a sports car, this is exactly what you need...
1993 Toyota MR2 170k on the clock.
Underrated car. Still looks great on the road, especially compared to more modern, bloated sports cars. Handles well. Comfortable. Good on gas. Great balance. T-tops are perfect for the beach weather.
This Car Rocks!
I've had my share of sports cars (Corvette, Trans Am, TR7, RX7, Stealth RT, etc.) and can say that, by comparison, this car is a great car to drive. Picked it up with a whopping 173K miles and everything still works great. This non-turbo seems to have more power than other cars I've had with more HP. Non-turbo has plenty of power. Handles great, grabs the road and doesn't let go. I'd forgotten how much fun driving could be. Toyota really knows how to make a car. This is my 2nd Toyota, I've been very impressed with their reliablity (even at high miles).
