Haha nice! I’m picking mine up from the port here in about a month. I bet it’s gonna be a lot of accidental wiper flicks when going for the turn signal control at first haha. How is it going through fast food drive thrus? Cheers!
I just imported this same car from Japan last month. It's a way better daily than an MR2. More comfort, room and spacious. An MR2 will easily out handle a car like this in the twisties, the MR2 is a purist car while this is a luxury sports coupe. Both cars are built extremely well, if you're getting an MR2 the SW20 turbo or the Supercharged AW11 are the way to go. You can still daily an MR2 but don't expect it wont be ideal as this. Hope this helps you.
Tyler if you want a Supra on a budget then yes... I love these cars, I drove one once (usdm) that had a 2jzgte swap made 400 on low boost and handle like a m3 gtr. On high boost it made 700 and still handle like a m3 gtr, so If I were you I’d get one.
i'm an mr2 owner. mr2s are still functional and useful as dailies. YOu can get away with it, but it's certainly not a hardware store go-getter or have-a-nap type of car. For those purposes the soarer is a much better car, and even as a cruiser. For performance and handling, however, i'll argue in favour of the much lighter and more nimble mr2 with the 3sgte or engine swaped to a v6 or k-swap
@@Shadow1986 I’ll second that. My 1990 MR2 Turbo is a surprisingly comfortable daily driver. If you’re single, like I am, it’s got tons of storage and can easily handle grocery getting duties. My Soarer GT-T is far more comfortable but, because of it’s weight, is much slower than my MR2T and my Celica Turbo. If you want the best of both worlds, the hatchback Celica is the way to go.
Nothing like a good old mind cruise

Awesome car
Thanks! I'll be posting more with it in the coming weeks. :)
Weird question but what cupholder is that in the vent?
The factory cup holder...
@@JC-vo5wz I have a soarer and there’s no cup holder in that top left vent spot
@@Issaj-ll5og I too have a soarer and I do. Mines in immaculate condition. They often break there as they are very weak.
@@JC-vo5wz does it pull out or just clip on?
@@Issaj-ll5og just checked, I’d say it clips in doesn’t wanna come out lol
Cheapest one down under $25000 , auto $20000
@kermacide sitting around 18-20k for a clean vvti one now even auto

Do you recommend getting one over an MR2 to daily?
