The third gen isn't the one to get if you want to mod it because it's a significantly better platform out of the box. Compared to the second gen, it's lighter but more rigid, shorter but with a longer wheelbase, and the engine bay can fit nearly anything you can swap in a second gen. If you want a straightforward swap for some more power, the 2ZZ is it. If you want to embarrass MR2s, Lotuses and Porsches alike, you can swap in the 2GR. You can fit wide tires in the rear without rolling the fenders or going wide body. And if you don't like the styling as much, there's more than a few kits out there that can change the look of the car. Personally, I like the styling of the third gen but a simple kit like the SARD type A enhances the look enough to make it stand out more among its peers. I love the second gen too, don't get me wrong, but too many people dismiss the third gen out of willful ignorance. At their own peril, I say.

I’ve never driven an gen1 or gen2 but my dad had a gen3 when I was in high school and it’s a wicked fun car! Compared to something like a Miata I think the gen3 MR2 is more raw and special. En though it didn’t have a lot of power the mid engine layout made the handling a lot more fun in my opinion and more engaging overall. I’m definitely getting another when I get the chance.

The ZZW30 looked miles better than a Boxter and weighed 6-700 pounds less. Slap a hardtop on a Spyder and drop a 2ZZ or a turbo in and you've got one of the best looking, best cornering cars on the road. The Elise is a better comparison, it had the same engine and similar weight, but it was a huge miss that Toyota never offered the 2ZZ as an option in the MR-2. I've still to find out the reasoning why Toyota made this decision, best guesses are Lotus made them sign a contract prohibiting them from putting the 2ZZ in a mid-engine car. More work for me, but then again had the 2ZZ been an option in the ZZW30 they might've become more desirable and harder to get, and they're rare enough as it is so I'm glad I found one at a decent price and was able to swap in the 2ZZ. Silver linings, since I was gonna do an engine swap anyways I may as well fully build the engine before I install it....and I did ;) And as fast as it is now, it has upgraded bearings, valves, springs, crank, oil pump (known for failing) so it's hardened just in case I ever decide to really push it and turbo it. So maybe only offering the 1ZZ worked out pretty well for those few hardcore 3rd gen fans out there. Oh and pop up headlights....ruin cars, the only thing that makes the second gen look so.....basic.

2nd gen looks so good. No offense, but the 3rd gen looks drastically different. I'm a sucker for those popup lights. 😅

After having owned three 91's both NA 5SPD, AT and finally getting a 93' they have been the most reliable, dependable, daily driver cars that I have ever had the opportunity to drive. Styling of the MR2 2nd gen still gets so many head turns and very few can figure out what car it is and who makes is. I love the mystery of owing a piece of Toyota heritage that still has yet to find a successor to the styling. It's the only mid-engine two seater that you can move the seats back or recline in, no other 2 seater can do this due to the seat is right against the back firewall. It's been incredible. 30 years going with mine and I would probably never let it go. No compromises with an MR2. If you happen to find a mint '93 don't hesitate to getting one.

I'm so glad you guys made this video. The W20's been my dream car for years now

I just saw this car a few days ago on the freeway and my heart skipped a beat. Had to speed up just to get some glances, it was in mint condition too.

Got my SW20 this past fall. Currently building it and will definitely be getting parts from FI!

When I was first learning how to drift my 91 Mr2 my brother was in the passenger seat with a big open bag of pretzels. I broke the ass loose drifted the corner but let off the throttle... the car SNAPPED back straight as the pretzels flew out of the bag covering my entire body with pretzels. It was great.

YESSSSS! Y’all made this video!!🙏🏽I love my 91 MR2, love y’all a content ❤️

Got my 1991 MR2 2.2L 4 months ago. Did some work, runs good now. Still a lot of work to be done. I absolutely love this car!

Proud mk2 Mr2 owner here, can confirm that the car is brilliant, decent power, super comfortable for me with my stupidly long legs. Handles excellent. Good fuel economy, was doing the same trip in a Peugeot 206 previously and the mileage out of a tank when driven the same as the 206, mileage was pretty close. Engines were 206 = 1.4 L pet mr2 =2.0 L pet. Makes actually somewhat usable daily driver car considering how compact it is, trunk/frunk space is good

I had a Gen 1 and 2 MR2, and loved them both!

My brother had the first mk1 MR2 in central Florida in 85. It was a cool car. I remember a large group of exotic cars driving to a show. They saw the MR2 and opened up a gap for us to join in. Sweet.

I have an 89’ MR2 and i love it so much. Especially with the t tops off

Had both the MR2 and now the Supra. Love them both very much, an MR2 will never let you down :)

Real talk, if everyone knew how easy it is to racecar or show car out a MK3 MR2 they wouldn't bother with the previous generations. The most overlooked factor is how easy it is to install a wide body on the car because every panel is bolt on. None of the exterior panels are welded and they are all easy to remove. Widebody kits are all bolt on replacement panels. slap in their engine and forced induction of choice and realize real quick it was the superior platform out of the 3 generations if you want to look good, go fast or do both at the same time. Aftermarket and OEM hard tops are available if you are willing to look for them but they can get pricey. By far the easiest of the 3 generations to work on as well. Best part is they are dirt cheap and easy to find.

I adore my Mr2 - Turbo import, Rev5, tin top in black, GT Spec pushing 400bhp at 1.45 bar. I'm pleased that the Mr2 is starting to finally get the recognition they deserve!

I loved my 3rd gen. I would pack 3 wheels/tires in the passenger seat and 1 in the frunk, 3 ton jack , 4 jack stands, a set of sockets, torque wrench, breaker bar, and magnetic car and class numbers, head to my local SCCA event jack it up on all 4 stands take the 'streets' off and put the racing setup on. So easy to work on. Oil changes were easy too. Toyota had some really clever guys and gals back then! Miata is always the answer, but if the question was multiple choice, MR2 is the 'technically correct too' answer that you would argue with your teacher about and she'd give you credit.

The first time I saw an MR2 was in Gran turismo 1 and back then I was surprised that Toyota even made a car like that.

For anyone looking to get the 2nd gen mr2 turbo that has some mechanical sense I would suggest getting an na shell and swaping in a gen 4 3sgte (the turbo motor but with new technology and more power than ever came in the turbo mr2) It is very cheap and reliable. Highly recommend

I daily a v6 91, it gets 25ish mpg, is relatively comfortable and quiet on the road, is fairly quick - even when compared to newer sports cars, and has a surprising amount of trunk space. I have an entire tool set (enough to take the entire car apart anywhere) in the front trunk, and still have the entire rear trunk for storage.

Awesome video! Owner of a 3rd Gen MR2. Rarely ever see another MR2 of any generation in car shows. Accurate with your comments on all the generations. 3rd is a bit weird looking, but I love it. The handling is amazing. There are more mods than you would think for the MR-S, mainly with performance. My favorite build would be Pieter Zeelie's V6 Turbo MR-S

I don't know why there's so much hate on the 3rd gen. It has the potential to look and perform better than then the others.

Another day another MR2 video haha. Happy to not have another video talking about snap oversteer a lot and focusing on how great of a platform the SW20 is!

I still come back to this vid and donuts to just watch and still learn about the mr2.

This little car means a lot to me. The first car i ever bought was an 88 mr2 that i got for $250. I only have good memories, in fact only the best memories. Going too fast down a turn and sliding 100 feet down a sidewalk. Street racing in Kent on a Friday night, getting pulled over going 110 down i5 racing my friends Subaru. all i can do is think back and smile, even though thinking back i was a very irresponsible driver.

I own a 93 mr2 turbo and absolutely will not give up this car. It would take me an offer almost three times the current asking price on these to even consider selling it! Prices are only going up on them and they are not a death trap people... you just shouldn't be driving a vehicle with a near 50/50 weight distribution if you think it's going to kill you and cant control under weight shift. Most reasons why people cant hold on to these and end up failing modding them is because they are pre OBD and cost a lot to upgrade electronically if you go for over 350hp to crank. Beautiful car and glad too see my own car get some praise finally! You can have your SOUP-BRUH!

I daily drive a MK1 Supercharged here in cali the whole snap oversteer thing is really overstated and mostly found in the early model MK2 SW20s that was corrected later in the generation. Most of it is due to people over driving the cars in wet conditions and not knowing the limits of it. In the dry it's virtually impossible to spin it out with good tires but in the rainy season or I've heard snow as well it gets a bit squirrelly.

Mr2’s are underrated and I can’t wait til they blow up. Then I’ll sell mine for top price

I'm keeping mine till I die. Planning on 2gr swapping mine once I'm done with school. My brother has one too, I wanna buy-it off him so I can have two or get him to swap his too.

My DD is an S2000 AP2 and I still miss my MK2 MR2 turbo, I'll have another one one day. I know this is like saying "My current carry is a Glock 19 but I miss my S&W M&P9." but something about an MK2 MR2 is magical.

I love how mid-engine cars handle, it's so nice and smooth. I want to k20a2 swap an MR2

'the average joe like you and me' didnt you just get yourself a ferrari alex? 😂😂

i cant believe he didnt mention the 3rd gen came with a sequential manual trans.

The 3rd Gen is for when you're retired? Ever watched videos of those lapping the Nürburgring? K swapped, 2zz swapped..

Misconception. Do you know what makes snap oversteer happen? Enlighten everyone

@pekonomials5246

Divergence Crew snap oversteer happens when there is a sudden disruption in weight transfer, as long as you don’t brake suddenly for a corner you’re a-ok. Besides you can correct it by counter steering it or letting go of the wheel before you spin out to redirect itself. The only reason why the MR2 is known as death trap is because of it’s suspensions which can increase chances of disrupted weight transfer thus snap oversteering. Basically just slap better suspensions and drive professionally in a MR2 and you’re a-ok. (Note: snap oversteer tends to make cars go tail first until it finds its balance)

@@pekonomials5246 pretty good explanation. Letting off throttle mid turn can also cause this, especially with the first two generations. I'm hoping to get a RHD turbo Sw20 in the next couple years personally 🤞

Divergence Crew this is basically what i looked up for before driving my very own SW20, also had to correct it since as a student driver have to drive like a decent human being.

Might wanna check the fitment on that hair cut... heh. Like the chassis reviews!

Yoooo you the man. My daily dose of internet
