mr2 peice of s***

i have a 2001 MR2 spyder and its a piece of shit my tranny blew shifter cable snapped my berrings broke so i traded it in and bought a 2004 nissan 350z

are u sure u know how to shift?

i have never heard of this happening... and i would doubt it would happen to a toyota unless it was heavily abused... especially to a car as new as 2001

yeah i bought it used that was proabably the problem

so you bought a beat up car and it broke that makes the car as whole suck?

good call your brillant

my buddy has an mr2 also his was crap also and all over this forum i see problems with them
hey dont get me wrong i loved my car had some fun times with it

I had big dreams for it i had already put on a body kit bought a hardtop rims etc

hmm okie then

sounded like a troll thats all old cars have there probs.

BTW can't swear in title threads welcome to AF

it was a 2001 the dealer claimed it a lemon refunding me all my money so i went and purchased a 350z much happier now but i do miss my car from time to time

You see problems on these boards because the car is nearly 20 years old now and normally was thoroughly "enjoyed" its whole life. :)

1. You're right, if this is a true story, that specific MR2 has to be a lemon, or abused and it became a POS. But do remember that Toyota has plenty of experience with mid engines, engines, transmissions, MR2's and cars in general. Its not a big MR2 problem, because if it was, we'd know about it.

2. You only hear people post about MR2 problems because only people post when they have a problem or a question. Its not representative of the whole community. My MR2 turbo has 156k+ on it, origional clutch and still in perfect condition, runnin smooth...

3. This looks like a troll post, by a guy who bought a brand new 350Z and got beat by some tuned MR2 Spyder, and wanted to try to make a blow at the MR2 community. I hope this isnt so, but if it is... There arent many fast MKIII MR-S's in the USA. If you ran into one, dont be mad, be shocked and impressed.

thats cause there arent many fast mk III's....

girlie car! haha reckon most mr2's will still be going after the 350z dies...

Sure they maybe be slow as hell, but they can HANDLE. I recently drove one at valet and did lock to lock turns in the parking lot and the tires barely squealed. Now i know it could also mean that there isnt enough power to squeal the tires but it sure felt like i was riding on a merrygo round. I am very curious on working on one, prolly drop a turbo in there and watch it kill on the track or a back road :biggrin: .

JGTC went back to using 3sgte in the mkIII

Yeah well just wait till your 350Z starts to break down, then you'll be sorry.

EVERYONE, please stop reviving old threads like this. if you have something to say that inhances the quality of the thread, then by all means; post! but please do not bring back threads like this that were not started with the best intentions (more of a stress release...) or those in which the origonal poster doesn't seem to be around any more.
