  • Cheap

  • Good looking
  • Stylish 2 seater
  • Reliable
  • Economical

Second hand car the the Toyota MR2-T-Bar is the car for you.Not only does it have all the above but it can transform into a convertible car.All these features make the Toyota a great little mover.I have now owned a J-Reg MR2-T-Bar for about eight years and with 108,000 miles on the clock it is still as reliable and sweet as the day i bought it. The Japanese designed three MR2 models,the MR2 Coupe ,MR2-GT & the MR2 T-Bar all have 1998cc engines and are rear wheel driven. The MR2 T-Bar is the top of the range model with all added extras.

This stylish looking car holds the road superbly and for extra stability Toyota have mounted the engine in the centre of the car. Formula One cars are set-up like this and so are Ferrari`s,one of the best sports cars in the world.The handling and "chassis poise" that comes from the mid-mounted engine certainly adds to the driving enjoyment. Also it has the smooth delivery of the 2 Litre twin cam 16v.Independant suspension,all round front & rear ventilated disc brakes(once again a feature you find in Formula One cars),tilt adjustable steering wheel,elictric windows/mirrors & alloy wheels. The interior of the car is equipped with a sophisticated 7-speaker stereo system,leather upholstery and this of course comes with Totoya`s immobiliser and built in alarm system.

The T-bar is classed by the insurers as a hard top(for those who don`t know what a hard top is,it is a permanent car roof where as a soft top is a convertible roof which is removable)where it has a really simple to operate and very effective extra where with a push of a button the "targan style glass roof" this consists of two glassed panels can easily be removed and quickly stored behind the seats. Do this and your MR2 T-Bar soon becomes a convertible without the added cost of a full blown soft-top. The added advantage of this feature is that the T-Bar is classified by the insurers as a hard top your insurance premium will be considerably lower when compared to a soft top with a comparable engine size could be as high as group 20 compared to the T-Bars group 16.

So for a bargain price of around £4,500 you can get yourself a value for money sports car with all the ususal Japanese refinements.
