I recently purchased a 1986 MR2. I have been driving a Honda CRX since 1985
upgrading to the SI model in 1988. Well, all I can say is my wife now drives
the Honda, hee hee, and I drive the real car. I can't believe the difference
between the 2 vehicles. I've always wanted rear wheel drive since I learned
in 1991, being a Young Drivers of Canada instructor, that 'True Drivers' will
only drive rear wheel due to handling and performance. People who drive at
150mph in a straight line on the 401 and call themselves 'Good drivers'
because they can handle the faster speeds need to be taught a lesson and
be brought to a slalom course where 'Real Skill' is required. The MR2 handles
corners with grace and is meant to be driven on twisty winding roads such as
those found in New Hampshire and Vermont. Well, I gotta go now, because my
Mister Two is calling me.
