I had my first close up look at an MR2 a few months back and I have to say I got weak in the knee's. It's absolutely amazing, I love it!
I'm looking at buying one and thought I would consult some owners from Calgary. I've got a few questions...
1.) Where did you buy your MR2? Canada or US? How much? Specs?
2.) If you bought it from the U.S what did you have to go through as far as importation duties/paperwork?
3.) I've found that the Gen 2's have a max. 43.4" of legroom (i'm pretty tall, 6'4"). I fit nicely in my friends 92' gen 4 prelude and that has 44.2" of legroom. Should I be concerned?
4.) What is the best possible route to follow as far as buying an MR2? e.g buying a non turbo only to add an aftermarket turbo, cost effectiveness basically.
5.) And finally, is there anything I should know before even considering looking at buying this vehicle? Such as hassles concering owning/having one serviced in Canada. Buying parts etc.
Thanks alot, I'm really glad I stumbeled across this forum.
(EDIT: I'd really appreciate it if any Calgary members could add me to MSN, [email protected], I realize this forum doesn't get a large amount of traffic so it would be nice to talk to someone in real time.)
