A few thoughts:
- MR2 (mk1) really is an old car, most of which seem to be suffering a lot of rust nowadays. I was pretty underwhelmed by the last one I drove (couple of years ago).
Lastly, I don't think they have power steering, and clearly I'm getting a bit weedy in my old age, don't think I'd want to run a car without unless it weighed the same as a Westfield.
- Hyundai coupe F2. Frankly I don't care whether these are great to drive. Calling inside kelloggs grade plastic would be an insult to Kelloggs. I'd swear that their plastic was from s/h 90s Aiwa midi systems. Truly horrid interior. In addition, it's fwd.
- MX5 would be my suggestion. Guess the fact that I bought one is a best of a suggestion of how much I liked it.
If you do like the MX, the obvious mod suggested on the forums for it is an MP62 supercharger kit. They're around 3k, will give 200-240hp, which should be far more than you'll want or need in a car that has great handling and balance, but not that much grip.
