i like the MR2. how are old turbo's though? i heard a turbo usually wears out after kinda high milage. the only thing that steers me away from an Mr2 is the headlights. remember i am a lighting freakin. I need a car that i can do a HID retrofit in. lol

jmai22 you dont want the hassle of working on a 944 turbo; they arent built real strong and if you mod it past a certain point you'll be destroying the motor... not to mention the car has TONS of electrical problems.

IYes, you are right about the MR2 Turbo. I actually forgot about those cars. A blast to drive.

I had a 97 eclipse GS-T and it was one of the best cars I have ever had. Not a single problem in 60K miles when I traded it in and I ran it pretty hard all 60K. Very fast for it's time, a bit underpowered in modern terms, but it is quick.
The stock Infinity sound system rocked, and I loved that turbo whine.
Best performing car I ever had was the 01' Corvette Z06, but with 22 trips to the dealer in 2 years I lemon lawed it.
Oh, I quick note. If you get a turbo car remember it needs to be warmed up and cooled down for longevity.
