What car...for hooning?

[chris7676]

MR2. Mk3 or Mk2 turbo or NA, or even Mk1
Clios and M3s are very good cars but somehow not that special.

Update (for those interested)

With the impreza now sold & I spent the last few days testing cars on my shortlist. These were; Clio 182 (FF), Audi S3, Ninja powered robin hood and finally a MK3 MR2.

After weighing up all the pros & cons I've gone with my heart & am picking up an MR2 in a few days time. I liked it's fun factor & simplicity. It's an '04 facelift version in sable grey with 6 speed box & air con, but no hard top (not too fussed about that as it'll have the top down most of the time).

It was a grand under budget so I'm planning to fit a set of tein coilovers and will probably stick a TTE exhaust on for good measure.

It will be a big BHP drop from the STi but TBH the MR2 feels just as fun. If I do get bored of the 140bhp I can always fit a VVTLi engine ...and then 'charge it

I'll update with photos once I've collected the car.

Took a "bit" of a detour this evening so snapped a few pics of the MR2. Also one of the scoob for old times sake. Apologies for the rubbish quality - taken on camera phone.








The MR2 is a totally different kettle of fish (obviously) but so far I'm really enjoying it

Any fellow MR2 owners on here

I suspect that Red Devil, of this parish, might be able to provide a bit of insight into MR2s...

Westfield surely?

Going from one of the fastest Imprezas, nearly everything will feel slow so get something without a roof, rwd and is all about handling

ETA: Whoops, a bit late to the party

Good choice!
