Yes they do. Same as every add car. I've seen a few scubby beasts but they were only getting 5-6mpg when driven like u stole it lol

And what would your reason you would have the WRX over a mr2 ?

Firstly, youre going to get mostly the 'oh mr2 for life' since you asked the question on a MR2 site LOL same as you would get mostly 'WRX for life' on a Subaru site.

But for me if i had to choose the WRX is more practical more seating space, more doors and more boot space.

Oh and then there's the parts issues. For instance try finding an E153 gearbox. Few and far between and when they come up the prices are crazy.

Yes a slightly modified MR2 turbo may crawl away from a standard WRX but lets face it, roads have these things called bends in then and then it would be bye bye MR2 especially in the wet. Which will then bring the usual response of 'oh choose these tyres' Yep, choose those and you get in the corner quicker and also die quicker when they let go LOL

Then you have the rust to contend with although there are a few with no rust but few and far between.

I personally cant wait to get rid of mine even after all the work and money i've put into it over the last 10yrs+. It's probably a good 8 or 9 month since i drove it.

How come you hate your mr2 so much?

I don't hate it. I just don't get pleasure from driving it no more and its got as far as i can go with it without forging it and throwing a further £5k at it.

But then if i had £5k to throw at it i would sell it and add that money to the £5k be buying something else. LOL
