Nice, but it will kill you if you drive it in the rain, or look at a miata.
>>
i love mine

>>14822705
Not even close to true....
Fuck I hate /o/
>>
>>14822724
miatas are gay
brotrucks are insecure
rotaries assplode
mustangs cantturn
mr2s snap oversteer you into a truck
it might not be true, but that is the way of the ancients
>>
>>14822703
How reliable where they? Did you have to do much work?
>>
Never driven one but desperately want to...
>>
>>14822732
My mk1s all had over 200k. One had over 300k miles.
Mk1 is easy to service. I never had to replace anything other than an alternator.
Mk2s are a bit more difficult but not bad if you're patient. Had to replace a turbo and clutch.
The NA never needed anything but it burned a small amount of oil.
>>
>>14822747
Can you think of any big differences between the two types?
>>
>>14822755
not him but literally everything besides the fact that it's a toyota and it's mid engined. mk1 lightweight and low powered, agile go-kart with a car body. mk2 a bit heavier, more of a car (easier to live with), but got that boost (don't buy an na mr2 unless it's the japanese spec one (trust me on this really don't do it))

Mk1 is more basic. Sucks on the freeway. Twitchy all over the place. And slow as fug.
Mk2 is a comfy freeway cruiser. Especially the turbo with dem awesome leather seats. Far less twitchy. Feels more stable unless you royaly fuck the suspension settings.
Idk. Both have their pros and cons.

If you had to chose one, which is your favourite
>>
>>14822786
Mk2 turbo
>>
>>14822788
Why
>>
>>14822792
Stability, comfort, power, style, options.
At the cost of high maintenance, difficult engine bay, expensive parts
Worth it though.
>>
>>14822774
If your mk1 was twitchy at freeway speeds you really should a got it checked out

>>14822786
Power and interior SW20 defo.

Exterior looks? AW11 but that's because I have a softspot for 80's design
>>
>>14822774
>Sucks on the freeway

I own a MK 1 and have no complaints, what are you referring to?
>>
>>14822803
What kinds of roof did they have? How where they different if not all hardtop?
>>
>>14822817
All 3 of them were twitchy.
Two were stock with stock alignments.
One was tokico adjustable, ST springs, TRD alignment settings.
>>
>>14822820
Two mk1s had glass moonroof. (No issue)
One was hard top. (Awesome)
Turbo was T-top (leaked)
NA was glass. (Cracked but no leak)
I prefer hard top.
>>
>>14822839
Where did you get them all? What other cars have you had?
>>
>>14822847
Craigslist.
Also owned RX7 FCs (many of them)
Miata
Couple civics
Mazda 3
Corolla fx.
>>
>>14822856
