Hmmm, comparing a mustang to an MR2?!?! Whow thats apples and well cows I guessBig Grin

AW11's if rust free are amazing cars. Just like the hachi their #1 enemy is rust, these were still make in a time Toyota did not rustproof their cars to well. But technically they are as good if not better then the Hachi and won't let you down. The only trouble with the MR layout is that you need to take extra care the cooling is working 100% because you can't rely on driving wind to cool your engine extra, but that goes for all MR cars.

As for practicality, the MR2 is a totally impractical car. Its got two seats and next to no luggage space. You can take your girl out on a trip and thats about it. Forget about a night out with your mates unless they come in their own cars and you'll find yourself making multiple trips to the shipping mall or lending your dads car if you need to buy anything big (or take the hachi Big Grin ).

That said, driving the MR2 is pure sex. Especially the MKI which is such a great car. Thing was designed by Lotus and it shows Big Grin Now I don't know if they screwed with the suspention in the US like they always doWink and you'll prolly want to go for some new springs and shocks anyways but these cars are great sports cars.

For me, if they weren't so damn impractical, I would have an MR2 in my garage next to my Hachi as they are my 2nd favorite Toyota.

(that compared to the mustang being just plain cool. Depends a bit on which model you have. American Muscle cars never did get much status here as we don't have to many straight roads and they often suck on our bendy tiny streets)
