Hello
I actually own a '91 Eagle Talon TSI, not a MR2. I could go a through a string of mods on my Talon but to keep it short, it's a built 2.4L G4CS hybrid with a PTE 4431E 50 trim.
I've been looking into buying a MR2 because (and correct me if I'm wrong); 1.) It's fuel efficient 2.) It's a Toyota and Toyotas are known to be reliable 3.) It's sporty looking I don't know anything about these cars. I don't plan on modding it. I just plan on driving it as a DD. Right now in my life I need a reliable car that can get me to point A to point B. How do these cars fair in the snow? I live in Minnesota, so we get snow up here. I've driven RWD cars before in the winter but they were big and heavy V8 cars (Q45 & Firebird). MR2s are light and small so how do they fair in the snow? Tell me some stories because I don't want to hear "Just buy good snow tires and you'll be fine," lol. |

Hi there :-)
Your car is all wheel drive ? It's a definite step down in control on snowy roads if you're losing 2 of four. That said, MR2s are mid-engine RWD, so if you put four good studded snow tire's on it you should be able to get by....unless of course it gets deep. My dd is an '89 vovo wagon- RWD and she goes good w/ 4 studded, but then she's heavy, too. Good luck, Grandpa |
