1990 Toyota MR2 Turbo w/ T-Bar Roof 2.0L turbo
Summary:
The MR2 Turbo stands alone in the under $50,000 range of sports cars
Faults:
Air Flow Meter went around 50,000 miles.
Intake Leak at about 60,000 miles.
I had to sell it. : (
General Comments:
A great car for anyone who wants great exotic style handling and performance for under $100,000.
If the Air Flow Meter goes, buy an HKS VPC. (Only $200.00, and much better)
If you plan to modify the MR2 Turbo, get ready so spend some serious dough. EVERYTHING is expensive to repair compared to normal cars. (But well worth it)
You can modify safely 350hp and not spare any reliability if you do the job right.
Rear tires ruin quickly if you stay on the gas pedal.
Actually decent gas mileage for such performance.
Plenty of high end after-market parts available, some still being made.
For a 12 year old car, the look is modern as ever. Very sporty, very sleek!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Did you ever find out what that power steering thing was, mine does the same thing!
