Toyota MR2 1.8 VVT-i car review
The first-generation MR2 of 1984 revived the affordable mid-engined sportscar segment; while its successor was larger and less wieldy, the final take on the model marked a very welcome return to the values of the original; a car that put lightness, agility and superb balance at the forefront of the product mix. Of course the MR2’s return to its roots was very welcome, but Toyota had no choice; the second half of the 1990s saw the arrival of the MGF/TF and Lotus Elise, while Mazda’s MX-5 had already been a threat since 1990. Whether or not the Toyota could comfortably despatch any of these is arguable; what’s undeniable is that the MR2 has a huge amount going for it, so it’s not necessarily a better overall package than its rivals – it’s more a case of being different.
