So hard to sell this:



It's honestly one of the most fun cars I have ever driven. The inside is quite a bit more roomy too. The seats are better. The problem is the hard tops are even worse than the Miata. $2500 or so for one. It's terrible.

If I was to base decisions only on how many looks I get, the MR2 would win hands down. I can't drive anywhere without someone asking about it. They are fairly rare and look good. Mine has a bit of a drop on it, which I think makes them look 100% better.

This does look really clean. I have never driven one, but I have heard really good things about them. I know a guy that really wants to get an older one as a track toy. I have also seen some cool track builds of MR2s.

VVT and COPS from the factory make it appealing. The 1ZZ is a bit sluggish, but responds very well to turbos. Also a fairly bolt on swap for a 6spd is nice as well. I'm going to finish up the Miata, drive it for at least a month before I make any decisions.
