Toyota MR2 GT T-Bar Sports 2d (1994/M) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Falling values make this an affordable entry-level sportscar.
Costs
Toyota part prices are fairly reasonable, but rear tyres are scrubbed in 6-7000 miles and do not come cheap to replace.

Driving
The MR2 is a sportscar you can easily use as a daily driver.
Performance
Handling on the '94 model is sharp, but low end grunt is disappointing and you'll soon wish you had got the turbo.

Living with it
Reliability
It's a Toyota - what's going to go wrong?
Image
So you get accused of being a hairdresser all the time - who cares? Funny how it's always by people who drive front wheel drive cars!
Comfort
It would be nicer if they scrapped some of that comfort in favour of a harder ride. More performance, sod the comfort, that's what I say.
