Hello everyone. I currently own a Gen 7 Celica with the 140BHP engine, but recently been starting to look at UK spec MK2 MR2s again as always had a thing for these. I took one out for test drive a couple of years back and loved every moment of it. However, wondering if the N/A model still makes a good daily, in account of its age now, and also maintenance due to the limited engine access. I'm aware of checking when the cambelt was last done, and also the coolant. Also which is the best Rev to go for?
Could I still use an SW20 as an everyday car, or are they getting a bit too old for frequent use now?

Thanks.

Thank you for all the replies. Sounds like they'd still make perfectly good dailys aslong as maintenance is kept up then. smile
Yeah rust is what I was concerned about, but most of the ones I've seen for sale don't seem to suffer from it (not badly anyway). Again thanks for the the tips and advice everyone, and I know what you mean about the prices! laugh
