AW11 or SW20 for first car? I don't really care about practicality, all I really need to carry is my bag to classes.
As far as I can tell, these are the pros and cons that I've thought of between the two cars.

AW11
Pros:
>Lighter
>Looks nicer
>4A-GE
>Cheaper
Cons:
>Slower
>Older, so might need more work

SW20:
Pros:
>Also looks really nice
>Two trunks
>Faster in N/A form
>Ability to swap a turbo motor into a N/A one for not that much
>Newer, so less possibility of work needed
Cons:
>Heavier
>More expensive
>5S-FE in USDM N/A models

Which would you pick /o/? I don't care about practicality or snap oversteer.

Pros: You're going to snap-oversteer yourself to death

Cons: You're going to crash an MR2 in the process

>MR2

>first car

>bags to classes

kek

i've watched these cars let go when any other RWD car would not. and they don't do it progressively or predictably. its violent. hence the "SNAP"

it's like driving a poorly setup FWD with all of the disadvantages of a mid-engine car.

That's not all id be using it for you dumb nigger. I just meant that I don't need to carry anything big or need the most practical car.
Also this is not my first car ive driven, just the first one I'd pay for.

the suspension issues are well documented and easy to fix. most of the problem goes away when you have good modern tires
>>
snap oversteer, like apex seals, has become a meme because it's parroted by people who don't understand the problem, what causes it, and how to avoid it.

they simply say the car is fucked and nothing else because that's all they've ever heard by other people parroting the same thing.

Get good tires, get a proper alignment done by someone who knows what they're doing.
If it's still not good enough, suspension geometry kits remove almost all of the toe-change / bump-steer on rebound.

snap oversteer is a meme like understeer

Except it's not, short wheel base +Mr engine means it's gets squirrelly. Look at real Mr cars, they have a nice long wheel base so lift off over steer isn't an issue
>>
>>15233332
Still need to learn how to drive rear engine or you will crash off of a mountain
