i'm in the process of buying a new car and i've narrowed it down to two cars, the s2000 and the mr2. i could buy the mr2 without a loan and the insurance would be about 90 a month. if i got the s2000 i would have to take a small loan and pay 330 a month for insurance (i'm 18, no tickets) but my mom said she would pay for half of the insurance so its not too bad. i have driven them both many times but i still cant decide. so what do you guys think, s2000 or mr2?

 

considering this is an s2000 forum, we're all gunna say buy this car. but seriously, take out the loan and get a car that's better in every single way. and besides, personally i think the mr2 looks like ass. imo. good luck though, either one will be a lot of fun.

 

The mr2 is old. It looks old too. Time has not been good to the MR2. Now it kind of looks like how the fiero did in the 90s.

 

You get more space, comfort in s2000. The s2000 is newer, less prone to breaking... and looks is up to you. If you can save about 10k or more on this mr2 i would go for it, if not S2k.

 

i've heard that turbo mr2's are pretty badass too... god knows you can't really turbo a s2k without losing sleep at night and not getting much outta it.

 

The MR-2 looks like Kermit the Frog on Steriods, but damn it, your 18...

Forget about the s2000, get the MR2, just look out for Mrs Piggy.

 

Get the MR2.

 

Get something easy to drive (not an S2000 and especially not an MR2).

 

Wow, you guys think the MR2 looks ugly? I think it looks like a little ferrari, especially with a wide-body kit... I would get an S2000 though, it's just a superior car, and you won't have to worry about reliability in comparison to buying a car that is around a decade old.. Insurance is good on the MR2 though, and you don't really want to be in debt at 18, but if all that financial stuff can be managed, go for the S2000

 

A mid 90's MR2t is a hell of a nice car and like EvoVIII said looks kind of like a little Ferrari. You should be able to find a nice 93 or 94 in good shape for 1/3 the price of a new S2000. If you are talking about brand new cars and the MR2S with an aftermarket turbo or the S2000 I'd go with the S2000.
