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 |

I had one for about a year and sold it to my brother. Still runs great, hardly any troubles. Out of the box, a better car than a 914-4 2.0, but a 914 can be built to a better car. I would rather drive a MK-1 daily though. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) I think of the MR2 as more of a rear engine car than a mid engine car.
