Welcome. Mk1's are fun. They are also cheaper than the mk2's.

i would go with a mk2 just becuase they were way ahead or there time on looks. and a turbo mk2 is a monster probly the best stock turbo car out there. other then a 95 supra. but its up to u which one u like better. plus any mr2 is a lady looker. i have a white 91 mr2 with a boarder body kit and rx7 fd wheels with black leather and every girl that gets in my car falls in love.

Do you currently own a Del Sol? That's cool if you do, because I own a 97! The 2nd gen MR2s are the nicest, not to mention the best chick magnets out of all 3 generations! (That's why I plan on getting a MKI... I'm not into chicks!

)

Haha im new here too and i just recently bough an MK1. I know from experience what a 3sgte swapped mkII feels like and honestly i wasnt very impressed (due to driving an 87 turbo supra at the time with 253 whp and 296 ft lbs of torque) but speed isnt everything with these cars. Honestly i feel that if you are going to get into the mr2 world they are mainly amazing auto-x and track cars. They handle like an oversized go-kart and i honestly love it. My mkI is completely stock and it outhandles my old rx8 which says alot for it. So its mainly about what you are trying to do. If you want to be quick and look good while your doing it then spend the extra money and get the mkII. If you are just looking for a super fun car to drive and get a little power out of it go grab an mkI.
