erm they never made a turbo, or a 2.0L V6 was either a 2.0L TS or a 3.0L V6

MR2 is about even with the 20VT coupe to 100mp and I suspect the 20 VTcoupe is faster 60-100mph than the MR2. was never keen on the interior of the coupe though. shame really. cam belt change at 72K is very expensive

Yeah thats what i was thinking, dunno which way i wanna go Had the class with the beemer and would be nice to have some power now. But doin a lot of motorway miles it would be more comfortable in an Alpha or similar
MR2 turbos don't give good mpg BTW

how is buying another car and insuring it and using fuel in that, tax etc mot etc going to save money? .. just buy one car, which is good and not a piss take on fuel if you cant afford it
