Agree with Rob is saying at the

'event' of driving the MR2

- it feels special.

I came from a Bugeye WRX with 313bhp

- went through 4 gearboxes in the 10 months of ownership and poured at least a few thousand into

'trying to make it an STI'.

I'd strongly advise stumping the extra cash for an STI in the first place for this reason

(especially if newage, just for the 6 speed box).

I also didn't think that it handled THAT well

- even on relatively decent 245 Vredestein Ultracs it understeered and wasn't as

'unstickable' as I had expected.

This was despite changing the suspension, ARB's, anti-lift kit etc.

My Rev 3 turbo is running a little less power and feels a LOT more mental

- but in a good way! Keeps you on your toes, while also pulling hard still at higher speeds and pretty stable on the motorway

I do hanker after a V6 Classic Type R Impreza occasionally
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- but it would need to have the 2.5L
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(preferably forged) and 6 speed to really turn my head now.

Breaking down and waiting 4/5 hours to be recovered when the gearbox sh*t itself got reaaaaal old after a couple of times!
