The MR2 Connection
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- For many, the "golden age" of motoring began in the late '60s and concluded in the very early '70s. It is easy to get caught up in the cars of that time period and overlook significant cars that came both earlier and later than this sweet spot of time that produced cars we all love. From time to time, we step outside of this realm to the explore the cars which stretch into as far as the early '90s-cars that will be talked about for years to come, like the Nissan Skyline and the BMW E30 M3. The MR2 is one of these cars.
Starting in 1984, Toyota, created a recipe for success by building a two-seater, mid-engine, rear-wheel drive car that offered performance well beyond its affordable price tag. With the first generation and its hard angular lines, Toyota continued the success into the second generation starting in 1989. The second-generation MR2 morphed into a more rounded and sculpted body and drew many comparisons in publications of the time as the "poor-man's Ferrari".
Many MR2 owners have a strong connection to their cars; for them, the MR2 isn't just a car to enjoy, it is a way of life. For the Texas MR2 Owners Club and especially for club member Masruque Murtoza Ali these words ring true. In this very active car community devoted to the MR2, it isn't unusual to see owners go out of their way to help each other in the repair of their cars or to promote their love for the MR2.

Thank you for helping me understand my sons love for his MR 2.
James King I love my Eastern Box Turtle
James King now go buy him one.
wow calm down
KraveNPLUR oh you will be surprised
My dad finally gets it, drove my mr2 turbo for a few weeks :)
I named my MR2 Christine - its red and always trying to kill me
Lol, nice.
Similar story. My name is Sam, and my mom kept saying how my MR2 spyder was going to kill me, So I named it Delilah
I hit the lamp post and she was gone
machetou The grief I feel from those words is enough to write a poem on; I'm so sorry, man.
I’m looking at buying one now. Is he fact that it kicks out something to worry about. It’s a 91 so pre re designed suspension
It's absolutely true - I bought one back in 2006 as I wanted a "fun" car for a couple of years, and 13 years later I still have that same car, looking stock, with absolutely no plans to part with it. I see so few on the roads here that it's an absolute joy when you see another one. You don't just buy these cars, you fall in love with them.
3:15. Dude takes off and rips through the gears. Literally made me smile. I am gonna need to find one of these and soon.
JDM legend. This was toyota in its prime. All the gt4 Celicas, supras, and mr2s were amazing cars. Come on Toyota !!
BimmerMann the 90's were Toyota's era
yes, totally agree ... if you look now at the toyota website ... there are only edgy boring cars =((( like apple some years ago ... and now apple produce smartphones where the camera looks out ot the body !? wtf!!
BimmerMann @ Corolla 3TC and don’t forget the Starlet
This video and the others uploaded to this channel are so well done, it could be about a 1991 sentra and i would be impressed.
One of the best looking cars ever
Stat Veg yep
Its ugly, curves aint for me.
As an MR2 owner I have watched this video dozens of times. It sums up my feelings so well. Better than I ever could
Damn, I hope Toyota makes another mid engine sports car one day.
you're not the only one i want that and another car like the supra
+Yulian Pereira the new supra is already out dude
+DSDaTacoSauce you mean the ft1? Ehhh, it hasn't grown on me yet, but I'm sure it will when people come up with more cosmetic upgrades. Who knows, it might be able to dust GTRs or other super cars.
+DSDaTacoSauce you mean the ft 1 but isnt in production still
Not like spider which sucks .
I just got my 1991 MR2 Turbo yesterday! I LOVE this car.
Congrats!!
Godmason Congratulation, how is it to drive such a beauty?
Thebergla Like a chained orgasm.
Godmason can you give me any tipps or recommondations on buying one? Is it good for tuning? I thought about getting one as my next car, but it should be able to do 200+ HP without spending to much money on it.
Thebergla The 3S-GTE's stock power output is like 220hp, and the transaxle means the factory RWHP is about 180. Though people have done it, I wouldn't recommend a high-power build for the 3S-GTE because it simply doesn't have the aftermarket support of engines like the K/B-series, the SR20DET, or the 4G63T.
The SW20 is more about cornering than straight line speed.
These cars have staying power. For people to be saying the mr2 is their dream car well more than 20 years after they were put into production says a lot! Great video!!
I WILL OWN A 1ST GEN MR2 ONE DAY AND I WILL LOVE, AND CHERISH THE LIVING FUCK OUT OF IT CAUSE IT'S LITERALLY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING EVER
I just got one, for 900$ bucks. Best choice ever
john guy Nice!
2 gen turbo is best always kickin ass and taking names on this car
Just bought mine a week ago today and it may need love buy I love it
Did u do it
I love this vid, I've probably watched it 30 times. The dude is awesome and he discribes the mr2 perfectly. He is so right, whenever I see myself in the reflection of another car while I'm in my mr2 I can say "I'm happy where I am". The most interesting thing to me, is I don't think the car looks dated at all. It still looks to me like a modern car. How do you guys feel?
i've only driven an mr2 once, instantly fell in love.
i'm looking to buy a gti model as my first road car.
It's the miata of Toyota I have a 1993 mr2 automatic and it's fun
Actually, I see the Miata as the MR2 of Mazda. The first MR2, the AW11, was introduced around 1985 and the first MX5, the NA, was introduced around 1989 or 1990.
+i3aac more like the ae86 of mazda
No----the miata is not in the same himespere as the mr2, I've owned 2 miatas and 2 mr2"s and they really are not that similar, the mr2 of Miata was the rx7
i recently bought a 1994 mr2 and i couldnt be happier!! It might not be the most practical or comfortable car in the world but it does what not many other cars will, every time i get in, drive or see it out the window it puts a huge smile on my face!! I absolutely agree with everything said on this video!
Okay now I wanna go out and buy MR2, lol :D
Also the dude in the video seems to be super cool
best motoring community you'll find! check out MR2oc or spyderchat for the mr2 spyder (MKIII)
i just bought a 92 mr2 recently. this video sums up my life completely!
I just got a 95 😍 this car is the love of my life
Very nice, always liked the MR2's. This bunch of them was stylefully tuned. Not too obscene and too shouty, but nice. Very nice.
the black one. good lord!
I saved a mk1 mr2 a week from being scrapped at a pick a part.. Bought the car for for only a grand and it ran perfect with little to no rust.
I must admit, I'm in love. Nothing I've ever driven has made me feel so connected to the road. It seems like all you have to do is think about where you want the car to be and it's there. Plus having a cosworth designed 4age surging behind you makes it that much better. I will never sell this car.. Ever.
Did you sell it dude or still got her? Never selling my SW, first car and have a Gen 2 3SGTE getting prepared to drop in :)
8 years later damn.. still have it :) enjoy the car they are lifetime vehicles.@@CamMojave
Did that guy say "when someone old pulls into a gas station... And says I used to have one, wish I still did"? Well I got my 91 Turbo in 91! And a bunch of know nothing kids tell me how THEY wish they had one!!! I been driving that thing since before that guy was born. Callin me old. Acting like he discovered gold. No, us old guys did when we dropped some serious coin on these little two seaters while our girlfriends and wives protested. We drove the crap out of them blowing away everything on the road. If something was faster, we just waited till there was a curve in the road. Turbo whining, that amazing sound near redline, laughing at the V8 guys as they disappeared in our rear view mirrors because they just couldn't do more than 115. And we took care of them because they weren't cheap and they were the most beautiful things on the road. Not many around either. While I'm messin with you kids, I'll give you some perhaps unwanted advice: stop spending your money on upgrades, the Toyota guys built an amazing car that is way more capable than your driving abilities can handle. Use the money to buy gas and hotel rooms and take your little Deuce on lots of road trips that your significant other will also enjoy! Wow, I guess I am old. No offense guys, just having some fun with ya. If I make it to Bear Mt. this year I'll be the guy with the white turbo and the greying hair driving like a grandpa with the slow group in the back. Nothin to prove anymore since I lived through my testosterone powered insane phase where speed and adrenaline ruled the day. Thank God my car survived too!
It's unwanted all right.
VeeDubJohn Were they any snap oversteer moments?
***** Oversteer... only snapped when I made the mistake of letting off the throttle. Did that once, learned from my mistake and never did it again. I could tell you stories about the rear coming loose around a corner, first to the left, then right, then left again before getting her back. Good times. Now for the DANGER... understeer. I have a 91 which is more prone to this because the car is almost a "neutral steer" car which means sometimes you don't know which end is gonna let loose. When it's the front (understeer) it is VERY scary. In that case, you have to let off the throttle, straighten the wheel a bit and hope the front tires grab some pavement in time to avoid going off the road. Didn't get into that situation too often though and now that I'm kind of past the hooligan stage I probably won't ever again. That said, these early cars have the 14" rims and there aren't any tires that perform as well as the original Bridgestone RE 71's (IIRC). Dam were those tires wonderful. Never any squeal, only the sound of rubber compound becoming part of the pavement. I wore my first set out in about 9K miles. These tires I have now squeal when pushed even moderately. They are some off brand but the only V rated sporty tire I could find. I think someone on MR2.com mentioned the brand so I got them. I think if I had better tires I'd be more of a hooligan again.
***** Why?
Let me clarify my response. "Snap Oversteer" is a term I'd never heard, so I looked it up. No, I never experienced that. What I was talking about is when in an oversteer condition, letting off the throttle does crazy things. In one case, I made the mistake of upsetting things by letting of the throttle and in threw the rear of the car from far left to far right. Don't do that:-) Keep your foot on the pedal and use the steering wheel to get out of the situation.
As far as the snap thing, again, never experienced that. Things always happened in a predictable progression, UNLESS understeer came into the equation. That always surprised me as most cars built for the masses has that nasty little habit engineered out. I believe that later MR2's were not as susceptible as the 91 to this condition.
Love this gen mr2, but for the love of god can't people just appreciate a stock mr2 instead of modifying the crap out of them? Same goes for supras and s2000s...my head turns when they are stock and we'll maintained. Not hating, just wish I saw more pure stock on the road.
Agreed. Nothing like a mint condition, stock-looking car. Sure, change suspension, put better brakes on, do something with the engine... But please don't turn it into just another rice rocket!
Man fuck off, I hate people like you. Stop trying to dictate what others do with their cars. Stock = boring. If you want yours to be boring then leave it stock, but stop bitching about other people trying to make their car their own.
Read the last sentence in my post, idiot.
shawoo yeah sure that makes everything better
thats the same as me going:
shawoo your a fucking piece of shit
not hating, just wish you weren't such a piece of shit
You must like the stock 14" wheels with this car??? I threw those crap away so fast and got me a set of 16/17
Woww, this channel has made interviews with basicly évery exotic car that i would ever want to owe some day 😮 ; Lotus Esprit, Acura NSX, Toyota MR2 etc.
+Petrolicious keep doing what you do, we LOVE your video's!
Great video. Cool owner. These videos literally show the absolute greatness & passion that is automotive culture & enthusiasm.
BEST way to put it. This kid had me in tears...dreaming about my '87. The way he describes ownership of one of these cars is spot on. You could own any car in the world, but a budget car that is so damn versatile and fun is so damn rare. God bless the designers and builders of this one-of-a-kind legend that will never die.
Didn't this car become an instant classic recently? Either way it is the best looking car out of the MR family.
Would be nice to test one out. And compare it to my "OMFG it's an S2000"
0:54 - That guy really likes his car..
beyond awesome video. thanks a mil.
Getting a 91 MR2 NA in a few months as my second car :) Super excited!
+SW20 I want to do the exact thing! I want the turbo model, but that would have to be my daily driver because I couldnt afford 2 cars if one is turbo. Im thinking of keeping my '97 corolla and running it into the ground, then have a nice NA MR2 as a second car!
+SW20 you got it yet man? my dad just bought one today its a sick car i would love to drive it if i was old enough
I got an NA 91 MR2 with 70,000 kms as my first car last week. Love the car and I hope to one day swap in a turbo manual transmission and a gen3, 4 or 5 GTE engine.
Even as an automatic NA car its great, especially for the price, and its actually very easy and predictable to control.
I'm restoring a 90 na mr2 as my first car
This is exactly how I feel about my mr2
The wheels on his mr2 are one of my favorite. That 5 spoke retro look. Forgot what brand they are.
One of the best video I've seen in almost 10 years that I'm using TH-cam, not a deep mr2 fan but it's a beautiful car
do a episode about the 300ZX
Good stuff dude.. I had one. Loved it! However I've moved up to their big brother.. currently own the infamous 98 supra TT T-top. With the VVTI 2J. Keep up the trend
*Pure Love..dislikers are just jealous
I'm actually glad that I can say I own a mr2 1991. No regrets with the car and it runs like its brand new. The grins I get when driving this car are just unbelievable and amazing. A car worth keeping for years and years to come.
I miss mine! I will have another one day!!!!
bliglum me too bro. don't give up. save up ;)
Had a MK1 MR2 - best car I've had. Regretted selling it.
“All the other components in the front and everything else in the back”
I 100% agree with what he said about old MR2 owners , I wish I still had mine. Replaced it with a 1995 Skyline GTST which was quick and all but it just never had the same presence. The MR2 scared the crap out of me on rainy days and thats why some day soon ill be getting another.
By far my favourite MR2!
I was going through my old box of hot wheels/ toy cars from when I was growing up. Realized the one I always played with was an 2nd gen mr2. The beauty of that car was imprinted on my mind at an early age and that it all made sense as to why I fell in love with my first car..... a 93 mr2. Only lasted 2 years until my inexperienced driving skills at the time cost me the car. Ive tried to fill the void with a mkIII supra but it doesn’t do it. I want another sw20
I fell in love with the 1993 MR2 after seeing it on TH-cam and now I own it! It's my dream car and it looks stunning. I'm really enjoying it and get lots of compliments. Thanks for the video that introduced me to this beauty!
I like that he isn't afraid to openly love his car for fear of coming off like a fanboy. It's this kind of love that makes cars special.
One day... This car WILL be mines!
Peter Orsome, I envy New Zealand now.
Peter Orsome I can't find a nice, turbo MR2 for under 8 grand in Canada.
Stuart Campbell i found 4 all under 5grand all jdm rhd all are either turbo or supercharged
picking a 91' up tomorrow for 4k
maymusicexpand, nice!
Beautiful car, I WANT ONE!!!
Just went through 600 comments to find the background song, lmao still couldn't find it :( if anyone knows what it is please tell!
As an owner of MR2 SW20 I agree with every word spoken in this video.
a lot of people have butchered these cars, but these 4 mr2's are the best looking i have ever seen. each is done in a slightly different way, soo clean
I think this is my favorite episode of Petrolicious. First, the music combined with the voice of the guy interviewed is just wonderful to listen to. Second, it's awesome that Petrolicious is finally doing a car that's not a Ferrari or Porsche, but rather a car that anyone could own. Please do more videos like this one! I love Petrolicious!!!! Definitely my favorite channel on TH-cam.
The 3 Toyota sports cars of this era were incredible. MR2, Celica (ST202/205) both using the 3sge and 3sgte engines, what a power plant and of course the Supra. So glad to see toyota return to making exciting accessible sports cars with the gt86. Loved my celicas. Wish I'd owned a rev5 mr2 as well.
Picked the wrong guy to talk about it.
Exactly.
anzov1n I disagree, I found him to be articulate and passionate. Perfect enthusiast.
This guy was spot on on everything, i feel the same about my mr2.
Haha, I thought I was the only weirdo loving my MR2's lines when I wash it.
Man...why do you have to make such a awesome and emotional video. I'm going to wash my mr2 and appreciate it.
Awesome video and great cars! :)
Getting my 95 turbo mr2 in a few weeks, Can not wait!!!
These are extremely rare here in Italy, it's definitely easier to spot Ferrari, Lambos etc. I'm glad Petrolicious covered the MR2 so I can appreciate it too, and I admit I'd love to drive one.
I love how he says they are rare, here in nz you see them everywhere and always for sale ,and you wont get turned down from a mechanic they are easy to fix just engine space is cramped ,
wow I wish I lived there... In the US they're pretty rare. ive only seen 2 in the past 5 years
***** i was thinking the exact same thing haha. They're everywhere but very few are in such condition as those in this video
By "NZ" do you mean New Zealand? I recently saw an MR2 and instantly fell in love. I want to know where I could get one. They are pretty rare here in California.
Angel Arrieta Yeah i mean new zealand :) there is one for sale down the road from my place haha,
I'm about to buy a 2gr v6 swapped mr2:) love em only 2gr swap ive seen in NZ
Great videos, you guys should do a video on the 300zx. If you are in California there is "SoCal Z32" that puts together big meets and cruises. Would be nice to see a video on a 90's import such as the MR2 that doesn't get as much attention as the Supra and Skyline.
So who knows the song in the background ?
First off, i'm subscribing :) Second off this video gave me goosebumps. Third off ive never been more excited in my life to get this car from my older brother in 2 months. Great video and keep it up! *****
Toyota hit it out of the park with the MR2.
I'm jealous as to how close and connected these guys are with their cars. Purely brilliant, great job Petrolicious.
The dude from life of pi did a good job narrating this video
Currently own a 89' MK11 SC White/blue With T-tops, And an 03' Spyder Turbo charged. Also Have a 92 Nissan 300zx show car. I have Owned an 84' stock MK1 and an 00" Spyder also Turbo charged. And while I love the looks of the Z, it is a boat compared to the handling and acceleration of any of the Mr2's I've had. Considering selling the Z now, but The Mr2's are not going anywhere. Best sports car for the money ever made and I've had a few. Too bad there will never be another mid engine sports car like these with the new safety regulations that have passed.
+wild300zx AW11 Supercharged is the shit.
This was a very elegant, well thought out, video guys. Great narration, and awesome editing. This makes me wish I was 80lbs lighter so I could fit into an MR2.
i love my 92 MR2. i’ve never felt the same satisfaction in any other car i’ve driven that i get in it. i definitely intend on keeping it
They sound great, in this video, they look great.. Where I live, not so much and I get sad.
We all love our widowmakers
the shot at the 4 min mark was so trippy...i thought they were going right into the wall
People seem to like W20s because of horsepower numbers only. The AW11 and W30 were the better sports cars. All the people who have said to me that they like the W20 the most typically were people that know nothing about cars at all and if they did were only into drag racing and modding to increase blowoff valve noises, lol.
Totally agree.
The reason people like W20 is that it was in the right era of tuner car from 90-99. It was better looking and better as a daily driver than W10 or W30. No MR2 owner keeps their car stock to race on the track anyways. It all depends on how you build it.
Ì don't think anyone would suggest that any gen MR-2 was a bad sportscar. But looks wise, the W20s just totally takes the cake. Plus you might get more potential out of the engine. But yes, it is the heaviest of the bunch and in an important way, the least sporty.
But if you don't mind me saying, the other two generations are pretty terrible to look at...an 80's boxy contraption and something that looks like a surprised frog. Compared to the W20 it's no contest. And even though it's the heaviest MR2, the W20 isnt really a heavyweight, is it?
WindmillStalker agreed! W20s were design to look like Ferrari. It is poor man's Ferrari. Mid-engine cars are awesome anyways.
the W30 is an ugly POS woman's car. That is all. Love the AW11 and W20's. Would never buy an AW11 though cause they're really starting to show their age.
the best MR2 was still the spyder version, no one seems to get that.
swap a 2zz into a spyder and i will wholeheartedly agree with you.
Troll
Yes. It WAS the best, now it's ugly.
every man in the earth have a diffrent taste... dude... get use to it....
Thats a matter of personal taste... it was also under powered. Personally i preffer an aw11 over the next 2 gens, but thats my taste, not yours.
I had three mr2 turbo's. Loved every single one of them.
Got a Rev2 Turbo from a Japanese auction and I'm waiting for it to be delivered to me at the end of January. Was kinda sad-ish because I liked the updated taillights of the Rev3+ mr2 but now that I saw the black one, it's the opposite - I now prefer the older lights :| whose car is this? can I see more of that car somewhere? anyone?
so? how'd it go??
andezzat got it. not in the best shape, but I'm slowly getting it to where I want :) actually someone cracked my taillights, so got a set of rev 3+ taillights for very cheap locally (70$ for both :D ) will be installing those. I discovered that it's the rev 1/2 center panel that I like and rev 3+ taillights go with it pretty well :D
as for it being a different and unique car - I completely agree. LOTS of potential with very light and cheap modifications.
+nihontoman that's awesome. I'm about to convert my auto license to manual (because I'm a probationary license driver, not full license yet and we have restrictions on auto drivers here in Australia lol).
once I get it, I'll be getting a red top beams 96 MR2!
I'm jealous. beams engine bays are always so tidy and uncluttered :D
+nihontoman yeah when I inspected the car, let me tell you, that engine cover was glistening red :')
I really like your video. I feel the same way about my Fiero. InB4 I get slammed for owning one in the comments. Haters gonna hate.
Had one for 4 years before selling it... now I sit and stare at CL looking for another ;(
I prefer the early 'fuck you, I'm angular' design over the 'fuck me, I'm curvy' design.
The hand placement on the steering wheel made me cringe.
sadly my scion xb just gave out yesterday and now planing with a heavy hearts to replace it and i think i found a replacement, a mr2 mk1
whats weird is that prefer it without the curves the first gen mr2 is the car for me, I love the curves of this car too but I love the absence of the curves in the original mr2 cause it really looked like a rocket ship :)
William Su I prefer the Mk2 MR2, but that doesn't mean it's better looking than a Mk1. It's different. Both are equally stunning in the looks department. I'd love a clean SC Mk1 next to my turbo Mk2.
I saw this video when I was 15 years old and never saw an MR2 before. I immediately knew it was what I wanted for my first car. I worked and saved for the next 4 years, spent 3 years just trying to find one somewhat locally until I finally did - a 91 Turbo model (in my thumbnail picture). That was when I was 18 or 19. I'm 26 now, and the car is still in my garage. It's not going anywhere! To this day I get people taking pictures and running up to me in parking lots because either they don't know what it is and want to know, or they do know what it is and want to ask me about it. It's a good feeling! It's nice to pull in to a meet of 500+ cars and no one else is in the car you're in, at least in western Michigan. These cars a special for sure!
dude thats awesome i saw this at like 15 years old too haha
crazy how time passes huh
Amazing movie :).I always like this Toyota.Small and funny drive
are very nice.. are the small Japanese ferrari!
Thanks TheGallerycars i want to have one this :).
i luv my mr2 never gonna sell it, i want to die in my mr2 in my grave, lol..
nice seeing an 80-90s car. love classics and vintage cars as well but its cool to see petrolicious cover more. every car has a story and it begins with its owner.
Curves, curves, curves.
I like these car's and this video was very enlightening.
Im actually a Pontiac Fiero owner (ya it's rival) but I know his exact feeling, because the Fiero shares the very same raw emotion this guy expressed in the video.
Sadly TOYOTA don't make sports cars anymore. There's way too many Camry's on the road today. They are everywhere. Too many SUV's and Vans and Trucks. So boring! I bet is TOYOTA were to make the SUPRA & MR2's again they will be all sold out!
gt86?
roywhiteo5 only in japan. in america we get the scion frs and i believe europe gets the subaru brz but they are all practically the same car but dont quote me on that
gt86/frs/brz are all exactly the same car except for badges and some have nicer seats
but they are not on same level as the skylines supras rx7s nsxs they are more like entry level sportscars like mx5s rx8s
it will still be hard for them to lose their cars for retirees image because all of their commercials focus on their large vehicles not so much their high performance vehicles (not the LFA bcuz its too expensive)
I'm using the SW20 MR2 turbo engine, drive train etc... to build a kitcar because its so reliable and got a good weight to power with a little tuning. Its going to be in a tubular chassis. Google 'miami gt4 blog' for the build with photos
Amazing. Its like the Supra's little bro. Makes me wanna get an NSX though.
I have always liked them from the 1980's to now. Amazing handing and traction. I wish they still made them.
I wish I had it!
Im a aw11 owner. But respect the evolution of the mr2 either way. Plus i like having better mileage and cheaper parts :) total death machine though haha
100% true. My first car was an 87 aw11. Got it in 2006 and decommissioned in 2010 after my engine seized up on me. It's been sitting in my garage waiting to be restored and I will NEVER get rid of it. In fact, I'm in the market for another aw11.
Consider looking for a supercharged model, those are quite rare.
You should save up and swap in a blacktop 4age.
GripHobby I don't know much about MR2s (I do love the SW20 though) but I saw a supercharged AW11 in Hobart, Tasmania and even I knew it was rare. Didn't even know they existed until I saw that one. And of course, it was two tone white and grey, with SUPERCHARGED in big fuck-off 80s lettering. Yes, I did smile widely as I walked by :)
I prefer the Gen1 Mr.Deuce myself. Something about the square lines of the 80s that get me...that and the fact that my nephew and I had so much fun in his '86 MR2 carving the Ortega Hwy here in SoCal
Flipped out when I saw this in my stream. Love these cars so much, I will own one someday.
Best mr2 video, hands down
A special car in deed. This is the only Japanese car I've held on to for more than a decade. I've got all euro stuff now but I kept the SW20 MR2 in the garage all these years. It's a project at this point but one I intend to finish because of how special these cars are. SW20s were all hand built which adds something to it IMO. Certainly pretty rare these days.
It's time to do an FD3S feature !
I love how beautifully Petrolicious videos are done but kind of getting tired of the overhyped commentaries. It is great to see people who are so passionate about their cars but this is just too much. Honestly, MR2 is OK car for the price. There's nothing wrong calling it what it actually is. We're living in a world where numerous perfect products are advertised to us every day, I believe I'm not the one who could appreciate more honesty especially from people who own given cars for years and know every single detail about them.
Very beautiful cars.
Coming back 4 years later to comment again, picked up a mint one owner SW20 to go with our Supercharged AW11. Love is real and it wants to be found
These go for £500 in england..
Bought two at 950 and 1000 in my time
