I originally had a mk1 Toyota MR2 which had reliability issues with trouble starting and rust build up etc. In January 2009 I decided to part with her and buy a nice red 1997 Toyota MR2 mk2 T-bar. Not only did it look like a baby Ferrari with its gleamiong red paintwork, pop up lights and twin exhasut system, it performed like one aswell! Not so common on the roads now you can't help notice people turning there heads for a look and i'm sure at first glance they think it's a Ferrari :) I have had no reliablility issues with my car as of yet, Ive had the car serviced at Toyota by very helpful staff. I have only replaced the engine struts underneath the engine and purchased some nice black and red rim 17" alloys with look a treat on the car. I recommend to keep away from the turbo version as my brother previously owned one and reliability was an issue with idling and spark plugs. Interior is very nice with leather all round, driving position is very nice with fully adjustable steering wheel. Toyotas are known for bullet prof engines, mine has done 121,000 miles and has no issues, starts first time every time and has a really nice roar and pull to it. Common problem I have is the t-bar seals slightly leaking when I get heavy rain. Apart from this it is a great car which you can pick up for anything from £500 upwards, most definately a future classic collectable car. Probably the best car Toyota has ever produced in my books, shame they don't make them like this anymore!
