1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo Test Drive

This subcompact two-seat Toyota coupe came out in the 1985 model year to vie with the Pontiac Fiero for young people`s attention.
The 1993 was the curvaceous successor to the doorstop-like, first-generation MR2 two-seater. Early cars favor the bold—beware of snap oversteer—but Toyota corrected that in 1993 with a revised suspension and larger wheels and tires. The base car’s 130-hp four-cylinder (135 horsepower from ’93) is adequate, but the turbocharged model offers 200 horses, standard T-tops, A/C, and the mandatory five-speed manual. The MR2 started at $17,658, and the 1993 turbocharged model was in an even more rarefied atmosphere at $21,218. An unmodified turbo is the one to find.
