Anyone have any insight on what is the best as far as what is considered the truest of a sports car? I know one of these threads of mine are floating around here somewhere, and I do not mean to post whore, however, I wanted to know if anyone had any experience with any or all three, to see which is the best as far as performance goes. I am starting to feel as if they are each individually special, pending on their usage, and the Toyotas MR vehicle, has never been a car to truly let anyone down or with a frown. Sure there are their favorites, as most guys who are into driving straight will prefer the earliest model due to cost and weight. The mid model do to looks and speed. Possibly the latest model for handling and weight (then I am starting to consider technology now, however looking back on other cars... Say like the RX7.. Totally out classes the newer RX8).
I keep going back and fourth with this because I do need and want another car while i fix this one up and once complete, thinking about the future if I want to dump any more money into this car once the conversion is complete. There is a good chance I could get an MR-S within budget, and I know nobody around where I live fixes those up.

i have my SW20 for 10! years right now, street and trackuse, i love it so much i'm keeping it, driven also the MRS, stocks and track toys , drives also good, very go kart ish but slow and driving position sucks.
in my opinion the SW20 is the best of the 3, the best looking and the one with the most potential in it. -------------------- |

Thanks that is what I was wondering. I wanted something more of the looks and styling. I have seen turbo MRS, although I am not sure exactly how good it is beyond it's normal options. I like the fact that the MRS is newer, and normally I wouldn't touch a convertible, but I would make an exception to go the route of a newer vehicle (and of course I would get a hard top for it), although the MR2 SW20 seems almost unmatched and if anyone or anything came close... It would be the model before it. Mostly looking for handling and of course boost options. From what I read, driving position does suck, although I haven't heard any complaints on the handling from any of the vehicles. -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204
