7 so far:

3x mk1b's

1x mk2 Rev 4 G-Limited
1x mk2 Rev 5 G-Limited (BEAMS VVTi)
1x mk2 Rev 2 Turbo (many mods, ~350bhp)

1x mk3

Always seem to have gravitated towards them due to the combination of value, fun, performance and handling..

[Ash-GT]

1st rev 2 turbo 300+bhp
2nd rev 2 jap N/A
Now a rev 3 turbo
The other half has a UK rev 5 N/A

[Ug_lee]

1st-Mk1
2nd-Mk2 Rev2 Turbo, eventually converted to 3VZ V6
3rd-Mk2 Rev4 N/a converted to 2GR-FE V6 using Turbo drivetrain from 2nd car

[TinyCappo]

1st Mk1b Red bag of nails
2nd Mk1b Blue Stunner
3rd Mk2 Black rev2 Turbo
4th Black Mk1b with a sunroof
5th Black Mk1b Tbar

Really got a hankering for a Mk2 with a V6 in it now. Still find it hard to beat a mr2 for fun.

I've had 2.
Yellow t-bar, n/a. Had for 3yrs.
Sold it for a while, then bought a black turbo. Had that for a while.
Sold that. None at the mo, but could end up buying the yellow one back as she needs work, or maybe another.
Can definitely see me buying another though!

[Tib]

Just the one. A Rev3 N/A.
RX-7 aside, I cant see myself selling it. Maybe a V6 conversion further on down the line, but I'm in no rush.

[MadRob6]

I only had the one. A 1990 non GT but it was so fun I miss the thing.

I only sold it as I wanted to continue with my 944 restoration project which has since decided it's a massive fan of oil and likes to drink it all.

I still miss my MR2.

[japaneseskoda]

Three so far

Mk2 rev 1. The start
Mk1 B. Wish I never sold it
Mk2 rev 3 Turbo in yellow with apexi GT gizmo and Arc filter

All great fun cars, quality of Toyota
Manufacturing just wonderful

Ah, an old friend. Here's a couple more.
I knew it had gone to someone in NI. Great to see it again.

Love MarkS72', bloody lovely looking thing.

Oh yes. Having been in it I can confirm it goes as well as it looks.

[MR2 Jon]

Three so far, NA, Tubby, NA. I think the reason I keep going back is because I never quite feel like I've mastered it. Unlike my Impreza, it's hard to drive fast. It punishes mistakes and rewards good driving. Even at 20mph it can have your heart racing in the wet. Can't see myself ever moving away from the MR layout now.

Maybe a NSX next? They are not depreciating any more so it'll be good ownership satisfaction, good driving and good value proposition. I'm considering NSX MK2 3.2 Targa when my MR2 MK2 Rev3 T-Bar dies

[thetapeworm]

Just the one for me but I plan to return to a MK2 again at some point, it's probably the only car I've ever had and regretted selling.

[Mr MXT]

I've had just one Rev 2 Turbo. Possibly the most unreliable machine I have ever owned. I'd never buy another.

Its a shame, because I'm sure good ones are great.

Yeah I can see the appeal of an NSX given the super car status although I always tend to buy cars purly on the performance/pound ratio. A VX220 NA would be more my thing. Not as exclusive but has a nice sorted Lotus chassis, good MPG and is at a price that I wouldn't mind throwing round the odd track now and again.
