I chose the MR2 and find it's awesome while in College. The feul mileage is astronimical compared to almost any other vehicle in the parking lot.
I do feel bumps (LARGE Bumps that is) but it's an 86 and the suspension is a little old in my opinion. But for metro or urban driving it's great. I have the naturally aspirated engine and it's real strong. Not nearly as fast as my old Talon or my sisters WRX but for what I need it for, nothing else compares.
Hope this helps by providing my experience.
