As an owner of a supercharged '88 and a Turbo '94, I am glad people still think of these things as death traps... Keeps the price down, at least here in the North (Canada lol)

Now it's time to do the the 3rd brother from the "3 brothers" Toyota line up. "So you want a Toyota Celica"

I'd rather own a MR2 then a Supra

[lonelydriver]

Do the people that mock the mr2 for its snap oversteer even driven one lol. This car will behave depending on its owner.

The lordeth sayeth: "Complete the Holy toyota trinity with the Celica"

As soon as this video was over I looked for MR2s and the cheapest one was a red 91' turbo for $12500. The next one was a Veilside widebody 00' for $21950. "Hey bud, So you want to go in to debt"

[andrewfernandez]

Why did u have to bring this car up, it's already hard enough to find a sw20 and ur over here promoting it lol

[MRParett]

Got my 1991 MR2 2.2L 4 months ago. Did some work, runs good now. Still a lot of work to be done. I absolutely love this car!

[munishpersaud]

I want an MR2 so I can snap oversteer to heaven.

The third gen isn't the one to get if you want to mod it because it's a significantly better platform out of the box. Compared to the second gen, it's lighter but more rigid, shorter but with a longer wheelbase, and the engine bay can fit nearly anything you can swap in a second gen. If you want a straightforward swap for some more power, the 2ZZ is it. If you want to embarrass MR2s, Lotuses and Porsches alike, you can swap in the 2GR. You can fit wide tires in the rear without rolling the fenders or going wide body. And if you don't like the styling as much, there's more than a few kits out there that can change the look of the car. Personally, I like the styling of the third gen but a simple kit like the SARD type A enhances the look enough to make it stand out more among its peers.

I love the second gen too, don't get me wrong, but too many people dismiss the third gen out of willful ignorance. At their own peril, I say.

I’ve never driven an gen1 or gen2 but my dad had a gen3 when I was in high school and it’s a wicked fun car! Compared to something like a Miata I think the gen3 MR2 is more raw and special. En though it didn’t have a lot of power the mid engine layout made the handling a lot more fun in my opinion and more engaging overall. I’m definitely getting another when I get the chance.

[liammyerow]

My dad owned a mark 1 MR2. His girlfriend spun out and totaled it.

[Runkization]

Ah yes, the MR2, THE AW11, AKA the mid engined AE86; The SW20, AKA the Poor's Man Ferrari and the Spyder, AKA the little Boxster/Elise

[Jeffrey]

He isnt wrong once you get a sw20 (2nd gen) you cant stop fall more in love everytime you drive it

[perenniallong]

2nd gen looks so good. No offense, but the 3rd gen looks drastically different. I'm a sucker for those popup lights. 😅

[alexandersmets]

Fun fact: The MR2 SW20 is the greatest car of all time

[justinzuniga]

I want an MR2 more than I want my next breath.... and an FB RX-7... and a Datsun 620... I just don’t really want to breathe I guess
