Hello, my friend has an '86 Toyota MR-2 MK-1 with the stock engine, no mods at all. Its a five speed. This car is fun to take rides in, as it handles great (IMO). Hoes does this small midengined car compare the the 2.0L 914 (w/ swaybars but otherwise stock). I like the looks and interior of the 914 better, but does it handle better?
Thanks, Brent |

"Better" is always subjective to personal tastes. I've enjoyed the MK-1 and (MK-2 in turbo form) auto-xing.
The MR2 handling is "slightly" more refined out of the box, and the engines have a good reputation for reliability. That said, because of the age of both cars, you'll face niggelling(?) issues with both, and can spend equal amounts of money on each to refine the handling to taste. But the 914 has more character and soul as a driving machine! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) Kevin(soon to be E-mod) Barnes |
