  • Here are my top reasons why I think the 2nd Gen Toyota MR2 is one of the best Japanese cars to buy right now.

      Make sure they take the foam out of the rockers if you don't know what I'm taking about look into it most of them now days have been gotten tho. I did have to remove it from my car

    These used to be underrated, but that was years ago. You can't find a clean one for a reasonable price anymore.

    • @CanadianGearhead
      @CanadianGearhead  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I dunno, I still see them pop up from time to time in the FB groups. What Japanese classic would you say is a better value in comparison?

      ​@@CanadianGearheadI have MK2 rev 1 tbar GTi. Mine has all the original extras like leather document wallet, MR2 maps wallet, MR2 owners manual in leather wallet, service history in leather wallet... Service bag with jack , nuts and bolts , fuse changers etc , the original leather and felt roof panel slips that u slide roof panels in and.strap behind seats, I have a hidden safe under.drivers seat with original key..MR2 members club window decos and logs etc. it's not been started in 8yrs tho and is covered in dust as sits in my garage. It's red and immaculate sheen. Few patches here and there only penny sized. Looks beautiful with roof off.

    I've owned my white mr2 93 turbo for the last twenty years. Once in awhile, i zone out and think about selling it. then i snap out if it and slap myself silly. It's a timeless machine with beautiful lines and still fun to drive shifting through the gears. It's refreshing to see content such as yours pop up on my feed. Thank you 🙏

  • @MR2Revived

    We gotta keep this car underrated because im 16 and I don't want it to get crazy expensive like the supra.

  • @Sol-Cutta
    @Sol-Cutta 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    What i love about this car is when u pull up to idle the fans click on and it sounds awesome. Also when you hit 60mph the whole engine sound changes and it sounds like race car. Mine is beauty when was driving. Doubt it would start without work now...i notice you have the original double stereo cd , i had to buy mine seperate as it wasnt in it when i got it. Looks nice even as old as it is doesnt it and that big space without it is yuk..my daughter at 13 used to love standing on seat out roof as we drove in summer night along country roads, dont worry i never went fast..was just a bit of fun for her.

    These cars are just so good. I have driven a turbo supra and i would not have traded my sw20 for it, just not nearly as fun. But it takes real skill and confidence to drive a mr2 fast. Georgous car in this video!

    ughhhh i bought one last summer and it started knocking 2 weeks after i got it on my first highway drive 20 mins into it... had 2000km on the freshly built engine with a fully built bottom and and i only got to put 200 km on it in those 2 weeks :( ngl i've been extremely depressed ever since that day watching mr2 videos is very bitter sweet. i really just want to drive my mr2 again it was the most fun i've ever had driving.

    I had a mk2 T-bar GT, gun metal metallic, and I put Civic Type R alloys on it, I loved that car, the Type R alloys looked way better than you would imagine. 91 pre cat model, no power steering, just a raw driving experience, with an unburstable 2 litre twin cam 👌

    Could you make some in detail detailing vids, i got an 91 SW21 a couple years ago and don't know the first thing about waxing or buffing or any of that, but also could you make a video on how to safely remove tree sap from a car's paint? As mine unfortunately got some on it somehow

    I'm gonna work my ass off this summer to try and get one but tuition is killin me. Probably could sell one of my other two cars for a bit of cash too. Worst part is people want too much for their mr2 that has a lot of small issues.

      AEM version 1 EMS. It's definitely pretty racecarish without the IACV - I'm used to it now but driveability suffers

    I don't agree with these climbing in value. Some might be but most that are out there are not in best condition so to say they are climbing in value really only apply to some selective examples. I have two of these (turbo and N/A) and i can't say i see people jumping out offering me money for mine lol.

  • @mrsquirrel8079
    @mrsquirrel8079 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    To be honest, I don't think that the value on most of these cars didn't just go up out of appreciation, but rather inflation is readjusting the prices, so it is the same....
    Let's say you sold the MR2 for the price of a Supra back then... well, if you take that money to try and buy a supra.. it most likely won't happen because you will still be the same distance away from buying that supra... (unless you find a sucker or you are the suckered buying a lemon)
