General Comments
I own a black GT Turbo T-bar model imported from Japan. It sticks to the road like glue and I give it a 10 out of 10 for grin factor. The Turbo cuts in early too (3000 rpm) and boy when it does HOLD ON!

He speaketh the truth !

<br>Only one thing I'd have to add, if the road is wet, holy mother of god please heed these words (especially for turbo models) don't drive like a madman. If you overcook it on a wet corner it's rather like a warped ballet with a pendulum effect thrown into the mix! In short it's horrendous trying to regain control, but in the dry it goes like a dream. This 'handling in the wet' conundrum, is the basic principal of all mid engined motors so it's not a poor reflection on the MR2, which is a steal really for the price.

I'd also like to add - if the roads are icy, leave it at home in the garage.

HaHa, ever gone through a roundabout in a rainstorm at 2am backwards and varying degrees of sidewards at 65kmphr?
Don't. While interesting it pays to wear tan coloured pants when attempting such an exercise.
