Toyota MR2 Message Board - View Single Post - Year to year changes, best performing and/or reliability year?

AlJam · 11-03-2009, 12:08 AM

Hi there,

I'm looking for a mkI MR2 to replace my '94, and was wondering which years are considered most desirable in terms of handling, low weight and reliability (hopefully those not being mutually exclusive, but will consider all options).
MR2wiki.com seems pretty thorough in describing year to year changes (though would be happy to hear of more). The two things that stand out are the C-52's in mid 87's and later not tending to have the popout problem, and the sway bar only being available in the 85 and the 89 SC. Does the sway bar make much of a difference, and can they still be fitted on later year cars? Also, are there lists of average weights for each year?

Thanks,
Alex
