    You get a hell of a lot of car (and equipment) for the money.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Depends on the condition of the MR2 you buy and the way you drive it. Well-maintained models are very reliable.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Fantastic drive quality due to the weight distribution and the mid-engine layout. Car feels 'live' and responsive.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    The non-turbo MR2s have steady and predicatable on-road performance. Tyre choice is utterly critical. Put cheap tyres on at your peril!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Starts and runs first time - every time! Even the neglected models are as reliable as your grandmother.

    Starting to date nowadays, but certainly a head-turner. Inspired looks make this a definate classic in years to come.
