Dans car may not be fast but it's quick for sure.

Plus, what's the point of a fast car if you have more downtime than driving time? Even with a non-turbo, it's really hard to take a test drive in an mr2 and say you didn't think it was a great experience.

true to that.... i see WAY MORE evos than i ever will mr2s.... i would rather have a car i know is rare and people will notice more. Carbon fiber and a front mount doesnt always make your car amazing.... mid engine mr2's, 300zx's, and true 90's cars will always be my favs

Theres too many factors in that. The MR2 is rare... in some areas. Go to Cali and you'll see hundreds. They are old but thats the fun. I love working on my car and its sexy as hell because I clean it. I keep it clean and I respect it. Cars in the 90s had more style. More subtle body shapes that made it visually appealing. These days its all about being efficent and saving money.

Anyone that knows me on here knows that I might as well have a ring on my finger from my car. But I grew up with them, I studied them, and I dreamt about them. Now that I have one, I basically have a baby haha. So what if she's slow... You're not me. I dont need 20+ lbs of boost to have fun. Will it come? Yeah someday. But I'm not rushing. I want my car to be reliable, solid, and able to loosen up a little to have fun. I'd say 94hp in a 2680lb car (me + gas) is slow too if I never drove it. Only thing is, that was with a horendous clutch.... So it loses validy instantly.

Mazda RX7
Eclipse GSX/talon
Nissan 300zx
Toyota Celica All Trac

Oh and...MR2's aren't rare? I know of about 5 in the area and I'm actually looking for them. I see an evo or sti just about everyday.
