Toyota MR2 as a first car?
I’ve been hitting up the classifieds for my first car, and found a mint condition W20 1993. MR2. I am really really tempted to buy it, im sure its in mint condition, but what im worried about is the fact that its a 2 seater and lack space, is it awesome enough to overcome it? Any info, especially from owners is greatly appreciated! Cheers

Having a two seater isnt a problem when your young id say go for it while you can drive the fun car
They are beautiful and fun as hell but watch out for the snap understeer. Come into a turn to fast and you will lose the back end faster than my cousin running downstairs on thanksgiving
Why does this car have spoiler stands but no spoiler? (Wish I could help you, but I know nothing about owning this car…)
Super tricky question. It’s my dream car, and I would have loved to get one sooner, but I’m not sure if I would have handled it right if I did.
In case you’re curious, that one has the TRD 2000gt body kit.
Great car for sure I was going to buy one myself but I couldn’t get insurance on it I’d say go for it what kind is it ? G/GT/Gsupercharge
Not a good idea. You are a newbie, so you don’t want snap oversteer. However, I heard that issue is only on the 2nd gen MR2s.
An alternative would be a Miata (watch out for rust) or a 316-318 E36 (not sure whether or not maintenance is expensive for them in Croatia).
If you can keep a cool head go with it! It’s a dangerous car for unexpirienced driver but it you take it slowly there shouldn’t bee any problems, just be sure to skip rainy drives untill you get some dry road expirience :) my sw20 is almost completely rebuilt so if you’ve got any questions feel free to ask
Yeah if you try to get serious speed on wet roads without experience you will probably wreck the car and kill yourself… but if you keep your cool and manage to survive the first ten thousand miles you can proudly say that you have some skills…
If you’re at least 30, then yes.
