How much would these cost on the used car market over here ?

v12 · 30th March 2004, 16:23

hmmm..............between 4-5 lakhs. depending upon condition. Miata will be cheaper i guess cos its very common.

Good choice, presuming you are on the lookout for yourself. Immensely fun to drive and relatively cheap to run - both of these cars. I would personally go for the 90's+ MR2, with its drop-dead gorgeous looks, Toyota build quality and if possible...the turbo charged engine!

Yeah the Mazda could be had for around 5-6 laks a decent example and the Mr2 should cost a bit more. Theyre actually pretty cool cars cause you get a convertible for low price and if you get a Toyota, you have the Toyota reliability though Mazda is Japanese as well. You could go for either of them

Cheers

me too wud go for the mid-90s MR2. BTW the MR2 is a mid-engined car, isnt it?

The mid 90's MR2 looks great but the handling was supposed to be slightly flawed compared to the old one. I used to use one that belonged to my cousin but that had no problem

I havent driven the previous gen MR2, but I have had a very aggressive stint in a 1993 Black MR2...it was one of the best drives of my life. I usually take a while before getting accustomed to a cars "fit", braking, acceleration and handling. But that Black beauty was like a hand in glove fit for me. Didnt see any serious handling issues.

Yes V12, the M(mid-engine) R (rear wheel drive) 2 (seater) is a mid engine sports car.
