How reliable are Mr2???

[vader]

Hi eeveryone always liked the Mr2 and someone i know just got a Turbo and cant stop smiling

I always heard that they are quite tough and well built ( like most toyotas )

any comments???

so long as you dont run silly boost, service them regularly and dont mod them too much, they are extremely reliable on the whole.

when something does break, it is usually something like ignition components or anything else that is cheap to replace.

If you leave it stock and service it properly then you'll get over 200k miles on one easily like the chaps in the US do.

Start hiking up the boost and not servicing it properly it increases the risk of problems

Touch wood. Mine's been very reliable

Keep an eye on coolant and oil levels, regular servicing.

should see you right for a reliable engine

They are very reliable, as long as you look after them! The only thing I've had wrong with any of my MR2s over the years has been a failed driver-side central locking thingy - a common fault that certainly isn't expensive to fix.

One thing i would add is that they weren't cheap cars when they were new so parts prices sparewise tends to be a bit expensive compared to your average shopping car.
