are you looking to buy auto for the car itself asin have you found a car you want and its auto


or are you wanting an auto as there is a guy on mr2oc that changed his to manual by himself and he said it was pretty straight forward and he aint a mechanic lol

never drove an mr2 auto, only with gears mate n/a and turbo , more fun , but i also would like to hear from those that have had autos.

They are a little flat when pulling away, still can spin the wheels when wet.
the trans can change as good as merc if in good condition.
Can rev to the red line & got a better gear for motorway work.
Normally less miles because people dont want them as much, but mine is I think just as much fun to drive as my 911 & cheaper to run...

Normal mistake, autos have gears as well. You don't have to leave in D all the time, you can still change up and down manually and not rely on the kickdown.
