I am just tossing ideas around for what my next daily driver should be. I am considering WRX or MR2 Spyder what would handle better?
Best, Levon |

there is more to compare between those cars than just the fact that one is AWD and one is a Midship Runabout
the MR2 is alot smaller and has much smaller tires, also lighter, more like a 914 the WRX is more powerful, and heavier, the AWD does make it handle well, and it is a better choice for a year round car, it also is going to have larger tires which will provide more grip i would have to agree that the fun factor lies with the MR2, but practicality lies with the WRX. how tall are you? if youre around 6' getting in an MR2 is a SQUEEZE. i used to valet, believe me test drive both, then you shouldnt even have to ask |
