The mk3 is such an underrated car. My sister had one when they came out and I used to drive it lots and found it so much fun. During this time I had a Corrado VR6 & a mk2 Golf GTI but the MR2 was the car that was the most fun. Moving on 20 years & I now have my own & I love it.

Awesome, they are cracking little cars, mine turns 20 this year.. I had a yellow bog standard one a took on track for a year, never needed anything.. A lot of fun I just laugh at the hate now, so many people don't get them and just no interest in it.. that would change if they went in it

@@Pistolspete82 im actually grateful they are underrated as means still affordable. I do think that lack of small 2 seater sports cars being made now will put prices up of MR2s, MX5s etc…
