I've had 7 MR2s ranging from a '93 Yellow Turbo to my current 1989 NA White MR2. I found that although the 2nd generation MR2s were a bit more roomy inside and slightly quicker with the NA engine, the steering was a bit over- boosted and had less seat of the pants feel than the non- power steering 1st generation. I love the look over the hood of my '89 (like the NSX I owned), the minimalist approach to the interior, comfortable seats, and headroom with the pop- up top. The T-Top set up costs some headroom. And here's the real kicker. I recently sold my 2005 Lotus Elise because it was just too tough to get in and out of, used premium gas, and I always worried about having it breakdown. My '89 MR2 is mechanically rock solid, feels almost as tight on the road as the Lotus with less jarring on rough roads, similar gas mileage but with regular gas, and very similar handling capabilities for a 21 year old car. I'm now doing some minor restoration on my MR2. OK, not the fastest car out there, but lots of fun for what it is. I tried a few MIatas, but liked the MR2 better. The exclusivity of the 1986-1989 model adds to the pleasure of ownership and it still looks great compared to most other pocket-size sports cars today.

Perfect. Precisely the right amount of power and performance for road use. The supercharger transformed the MR2 from a nippy car into a quick one. 0-60 in the low 5s, a sensible level of grip, aftermarket alloys transformed the handling into just a bit oversteery. This is rapid enough to be thrilling without hitting silly speeds. And a car of this configuration allows you to reach its limits safely on the roads. Excellent car.

Good car with a supercharged engine and some mods. The handling is amazing the feeling is the same than a kart, nervous and quick. It could be better with a bit more hp but very interesting like that. You only have to put 4 good tires and you can go on the track. Talk with a guy who knows this car and you'll see !
