I just got myself one, now I take the long way home😊😂, what a dream to drive, even after a hard days work it put a big smile on my face😊, superb handling, very unrated car, thanks for the review

[@JonCoupland]

Excellent! And thanks 👍

[@vaughanlockett658]

A great car never got bored of it. I don't find the roof a faff its simplicity means it cannot break down . I am 6 ft and have not found it uncomfortable to drive.

[@JonCoupland]

Thanks for watching :)

Welcome to the club, they really are amazing fun. I'm on my second, but it has been in the garage on axle stands for a couple of years. I must sort it out. Your U turn gives the impression of a large turning circle, but it is actually the smallest I know of due to the lack of engine in the front, allowing the wheels to turn further (I'm guessing).

[@JonCoupland]

Many thanks 😊 hope you get yours back on the road soon

Hi from Norwich in England. Just joined your channel as I also have a :(broken) Proton Saga in the shed but my other car is a ...Mk3 MR2 (2003)!

[@JonCoupland]

Hi Ian. Welcome to the channel and thanks for your comment What's wrong with the Saga 😭

[@buccabubuccabu]

Blown head gasket. Came from a friend for £200 including a Haynes manual! Rare vehicle here too so I'm a little nervous about sourcing parts but the engine work should be fairly straightforward as it's mostly Mitsubishi.

[@JonCoupland]

@@buccabubuccabu would love to see some photos - I'm only down the road in Lincolnshire. Not a massively difficult fix - I may even have a HG kit in stock!

[@martingriggs6362]

Bought mine a few weeks back. I love it.

[@JonCoupland]

Enjoy it

Good afternoon Jon & Amy. Merry christmas

Manual hood is a plus in my book. Fewer expensive things to go wrong.

[@JonCoupland]

Yes that's a good way of looking at it ☺️

[@ThomasCorfield-r4n]

Congratulations on the use of fewer rather than less. There are so few of us around. I punched someone yesterday who was talking about less pigeons. Someone's got to educate.

[@MrWillywillmore]

@@ThomasCorfield-r4n Punching someone for using the wrong word is idiotic.

[@ThomasCorfield-r4n]

@@MrWillywillmore No, he was the idiot, hence the punch. Please reread, paying closer attention.

Nice one Jon, Seasonal greetings ! Mark.

[@JonCoupland]

And to you and yours Mark 😊

[@turdferguson1021]

I have 3. All run, but 2 are driveable. Fun cars.

[@JonCoupland]

Which is your favourite?

@@JonCoupland The one with the 2ZZ Swap for sure.

[@bradjohnson1627]

Enjoyed the video, Nice little beastie❤ Your CameraAmy did a good job. It’s rather cramped for you, can see why you sold her. Love to see a comparison drive in the MR2 MK1a.

[@JonCoupland]

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it Yes ... A bit cramped 😜

[@jeii8841]

My roof goes down and locks inplace simply by pushing it back 😂😂😂. No need to get out or turn around!!

[@JonCoupland]

Yes I think this one needed some TLC in hindsight 🤣👍

[@fredodonnell3323]

Hi, can you drop the roof so easily even when cold? Mine needs a lot of nudging and pursuading, seems the vinyl itself becomes quite tight

[@jeii8841]

@@fredodonnell3323 never tried to be honest only use it during the summer months and basically it's easy . Drops and locks in place. If you look on you tube for the original top gear test with I think tiff nidell he demonstrates this !!

[@martinwatson9639]

At least you only touch the steering wheel with your legs. It could be worse!

[@JonCoupland]

That's a good point! 🤣

[@stevehanna4345]

Sooooo....Did you sell the MR2 in the end....😂

[@JonCoupland]

I certainly did. It's found a lovely new home in Ireland AND it funded the Rover 75 project 😊

[@fhwolthuis]

Nice car but probably also too small for me 😅

[@JonCoupland]

Which is why it had to go :(

[@andreasphotiou1886]

I’m 80kg and 175cm tall and mine fits like a glove but It would be snug for bigger guys than me

[@baccas66]

Remember to put your windows down before raising or lowering a soft top.

[@JonCoupland]

Yes! Good advice

[@baccas66]

60mph in 5th? 3rd gear is much more fun!

[@JonCoupland]

😜 you are right

[@BondoV2]

60 in 2nd
