oh my so nice :]

 

Very nice!

Speaking of the cruise control, i'm quite amazed by how well the cruise control works. I've only used it once since i had the car in a 5 hour drive. The is so little deviation in speed ... i was simply amazed

 

Hey, Bryan -- how's it feel to go from S2k to MR2T and back again? I've got a '93 MR2T, too, and I must say both rides are very nice, but quite different. In some ways I prefer the Toyota (how can a true sports car have an engine anywhere but behind you?), in other ways I prefer the Honda (amazing engineering, handling & open air motoring). Best of both worlds, I'd say.

Nice color choice, too.

 

Both the 93T and the S2k are similarly quick but they go about it in pretty different ways huh? I'm used to MR2s (have owned 5) so the Honda is a bit strange feeling at times. It seems like I sit where the back seat would be.

The pedals on the MR2T feel much better, the seat is more comfortable, and the lazy gearing is great for when you're feeling, well, lazy. But the S has a wicked top end and the best shifter in the world, so it has a lot going for it too. I autocrossed the S2000 for the first time on Sunday and had a blast even on mismatched street tires. You can really play with the front/rear traction at the limit with a lot of flexibility.

 

Is the MR2T faster in a straight line than the S2K?

 

No, the S2k is a step quicker.

 

I guess that's pretty normal for MR2 owners--I've owned 3 of them myself....a Mrk I '86 & an '88 SC, and the Mrk II '93 turbo. The ergonomics actually are a bit better in the 93T than the S2k, I'd say, including the pedal placement & feel.

Haven't autox'd the Honda yet, but looking forward to it soon! It takes a lot more experience and skill to drive the S2k well at 9/10th or 10/10th than the MR2s. The Honda is a driver's car for sure.

 

And people say MR2s are hard to handle. I've never understood that. They're very direct with the driver and offer tons of feedback.

Though I have MK2s now, I've had 3 MK1 MR2s in the past. Two 87s and an 88SC. The '93s do have excellent ergonomics and are extremely comfortable on long distance roadtrips. My NA even gets 34-39mpg on the highway.
