its a :bigok: in my book. my oldest brother bought one 5 years ago. a 93 with 14,000 miles on it. i think it only has about 20,000 on it right now. i loved that car before i had my 7. handles great, lots of potential and looks great.

Formidable in the hands of a good tuner. I rode in one that had about 400RWHP and it's one hell of a rush.

MR2's rock, either 1st or 2d gen. I thought about getting a first gen before I got my 7. Looking back on it I probably should have, actually. The MR2 probably wouldn't be nearly as troublesome.
