Thnx for all the help, 6gc vs MR-2 Options

[integra_killer]

Well, you guys really helped me out with the eclipse decision, and i read all about the reliablity and it seems the timing belt has a tendency to snap and the tranny is weak as well as the back end Well, after some more consideration im thinking about an MR-2 like was suggested, mid engine, rwd wow thats awesome, but what about reliability? Basically im asking for a 6gc vs mr-2
thnx again guys, you're all very very very helpful!
was also wonderin if i could drive one of those babys in the winter, we have brutal cold and sometimes snowy winters up here in toronto, would a mid engine rwd car hold its own?

hey,
since i mainly deal with mr2's ..i will say that a mr2 is rock solid car and is over built by Toyota .. either motor in the mk2 will last forever with good up keep ..

if you plan to make it a year long car then i would HIGHLY suggest winter tires.. i have driven mk1 and mk2's boosted and NA in winter with all season tires and it was ok just need to be very aware of what car is doing .. snow tires and a sand bag in the trunks will help out a lot.. car drives like any other just have to slowly leave stop lights and of course corners must be taken carefully but otherwise nothing to worry about ..

i plan to make my v6 mk2 hybrid a summer car and my winter car will be GT4 w/ snow tires.. yes i know GT4 as a winter car..
