Faults:

Battery went dead due to winter weather.

Muffler tends to rust out due to winter weather.

Rear seal oil leak is too expensive to get fixed. Just checked the oil. Add a quart a week with daily driving.

General Comments:

Great gas mileage.

It's like driving a go kart on the street.

Had to monitor the oil level due to the rear seal leak. Other than that, a reliable little sports car.

Got a nice bright red paint job at Earl Schieb for about $500.00.

I used to tell folks the MR2 is like a motorcycle on four wheels with the zippy 1.6 liter / 1600cc engine.

Nice stock ground effects.

Over sized sunroof that mounts under the front hood easily.

You won't regret it if you get one.

Faults:

At about 136k miles, the charging system started to fail. Ended up being the battery cables. Replaced both for under $10.

That is really it, besides normal tune-up and wear and tear items.

General Comments:

Love this car so much. Wanted one for so many years, and had to jump on this one after my friend put it up for sale.

Minimal rust on the rear wheel arches, and the paint still shines. Sure, this is an automatic MR2. Most of them are manuals, but I bought this one because it was well cared for and in great condition.

It's still quite quick and the fuel economy is excellent.

The interior is near perfect, with only minor wear on the driver's seat side bolster.

Trunk space is adequate, and there is a bit up front as well. For a guy and his girlfriend on a weekend trip, you don't need any more!

I paid $1,850 for mine, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Faults:

Well it bottoms out a lot, especially above 100 miles an hour.

Recently I was driving and my clutch just went out completely. Now I am in the process or figuring out exactly what's wrong and fixing it.

General Comments:

This car is amazing. I can do 70 in second gear and not red line it. I'm totally impressed. I live in a very hilly place, lots of turns and I can push this car to the absolute limits and it won't break loose. Staying exactly where you want on the road is spectacular around a mountain! Just look out for squirrels!

When you shift your hand is at the perfect place with the elevated center console. I also thoroughly enjoy the T tops.

My MR2 is a little beat up and had a lot of miles, but it passes smog, and the engine runs like a champ!

It is fun, and you don't have to give all your friends rides.

The compact engine also makes for pretty good gas mileage, considering how fast you eat it up.

Faults:

Rear wheel bearings.

AC stopped working.

General Comments:

I have owned this car for 3 years now, and it is the best thing that I have ever owned. I have owned many cars in the past.

I have done over 120,000 in it, and drive it over 80kms to and from work each day.

There is nothing like taking the large sunroof out on a sunny day and going for a drive. Fast or slow.

Handles like a Go-Cart.

I have never been much into cars in the past until I got my Mister 2. This is my pride and joy, and is now part of the family.

Fun in the dry and terrifying in the wet.
