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 |

I have a 93 Mr.2 turbo. with about 160K miles on it & everything works including the original turbo. Failures consist of one rear wheel bearing.....thas it. It's a Toyoda, dude.
It's a bit more butt heavy that a 914....rear break away does get telegraphed more better. I wouldn't buy one older than 93. The earlier Gen 2 ones could get downright evil in the handling department. If you can find an all stock one (like mine).....gud luck.....buy it.....mine ain't F/S, BTW. Most have been "modified" by twits. |
