The MR2 Turbo
I purchased the MR2 in the spring of 2004. I can not imagine a better sports car for the money: mid-engine, rear-wheel drive, turbocharged, t-tops, and a unique driving experience. The combination of subtle body styling, Japanese-market tail lights, and Advan wheels, really gives the car an authentic Japanese-inspired style.
