Csb: I have enough cash in hand to buy a cheap mid engine softtop, and it's almost summertime
986 boxer or mr2 spyder?
986 boxer or mr2 spyder?
Ngl I stopped myself from calling it "boxy" because my brain is infectedMr2 since you don't know that the 986 is called Boxster. You don't deserve it
Mr2. Is this even a question???Csb: I have enough cash in hand to buy a cheap mid engine softtop, and it's almost summertime

That requires a motorcycle license in my stateGet a polaris slingshot. They're pretty cool.
The real question is do I buy a 8k car and spend 15k to 2zz swap itMr2. Is this even a question???
BanFound this in another forum:
MR2 Pro -
lower repair costs
better fuel economy
cheaper tires
lower initial cost to buy
more reliable
People sometimes mistake it for a Porsche (is this a pro or a con?)
MR2 Con -
Noisy harsh motor
NO TRUNK SPACE
Poor handling compared to Boxster - I never found the MR2 as tossable as its low weight suggests and I had good tires on the thing.
Low power
Boxster Pro -
It's a Porsche
Power
Handling - very big difference
Interior Room
Power top
2 trunks - both are bigger than the MR2- the Box has 3 times the trunk space of the MR2
Quality feel
The top down experience is better than the MR2. The wind ruffles your hair just the right amount. The engine noises top down are very, very nice.
Boxster Con -
purchase price
repair costs - expect to pay 4 times more in maintenance than the MR2
worse fuel economy
premium fuel required
That's why they came up with that DTR turbo package and got it CARB/EPA approved.Really? Not even a k04 or is38 upgrade? Dang
.........which MR2?
because your choices stop at gen 2 with that.
