Advantages: fast, handling, confort

Disadvantages: tyre wear, fuel, insurance

Well I'm on my second mr2 being my first a standard 2litre, but when I got my turbo WOW what a diffrence, faster, better what a car. Ive always liked the two seater and don't really find it a problem as ive no kids, and rear wheel drive is just so much fun and cant really understand why people go for 4 wheel drive as weres the fun! People keep writing everywhere that they get about 24 mpg and an avarage of 5000 miles to there tyres. Dont know why as I get 11mpg and about 2700 on the tyres and that tyre wear was on the standad 2litre and that only did about 18 mpg, does anyone else get figures like mine? as its unfair why everyone else gets more? These cars can be tricked up a lot body and engine as you just can't go without having that full body kit on as its just the bizz, with it lowered. The suspencion is very good and can handle a good 50mm drop as its still a nice soft drive but no lean whatsoever round the bends. I cannot after looking for months find a car that drives and looks as good as one of these even after having a go in a jag 4litre supercharger and thinking wow my mr2 will eat that. So get out there and bag one before theres no more left as they dont make em like they used too
