Like this? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2757496.htm I have always loved the MR2's and still have a desire to get one. How big is the tank on them as that sounds to be impressive MPG.

TubbyTwo Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 they are from memory a 60l tank. Mine was a rev 3 GT its one of the only cars I regret selling. used to do 30 miles a day in mine never missed a beat and was good on fuel as well. Obviously if you hammer it its not that great but for the money and providing you get a good one they are bullet proof. If your worried about bhp the Rev 3 had the most at 174 then revisions 4 and 5 dropped slightly due to emissions and extra safety features.

BHP doesn't bother me at all, I just want something that looks smart and I can use to go to work and back in, but is also good fun in tight country lanes I have the TT6 if I'm in need of speed.

j_jza80 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 If you can get a minted STORM V6 D/green keep it hidden away for a few years for a nice pension - these will be serious collectors items in the future. The info above on Corrados is spot on - though i have had major issues with oil leaks on some and they turned into serious money pits - apart from that they are solid, great to drive and stunning ! - (if i had a spare couple of grand i think ive talked myself into another) (if you find one with a working active spoiler then get some dosh on the lottery too) The sunroofs are worse than the spoilers. I reckon maybe 1 in 3 Corrados have a fully functioning roof! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
