I can’t remember where it was but the best review I ever read of the orig. MR2 started with, “Imagine a Fiat X19 built by people who give a shit.”

The shape of EVIL!
I had a second gen 3sge hardtop. And a 1zz turbo spider i miss both dearly.
That mk1 with the supercharger is truly special.
Now a days I slow roll a gx460 overlander but eyeing a Supra or GR Corolla. I miss going fast.
The electric clutch on the super charger was a pretty cool thing. Only activated when you put your foot down. So you still got great mpg….most of the time haha.
God damn I love it.
Had a second gen 3sgte
But always dreamed of a non rusted out 89 4agze. Could never find one. And this was back in 2001
Of the three I’ve seen in person they were all clapped out. They got used up and rustproofing in the 80’s wasn’t the best.
A friend of mine swapped out a 4age for a 3sgte. He was able to get the MR2 after selling his BMW 335i old coil overs lol.
That is one chunky ass
Want.
Also, I love that boxy is back.
One of the most gorgeous cars to ever exist.
Keep her clean, those cars are iconic
