Supra (mkiv) are an addiction, you either get it or you don't .. if you do, well they will give you a passion you will never experience with anything else (and I have owned a lot of cars, and driven a scarily long list) Driving a supra (I have two and they are very very very different cars) will give you a thrill you can't replace ... but if comfort, handling and practical is anywhere on your list of requirements go elsewhere ! somewhere in the supra section I wrote a post about what my supras mean to me and most of my supra friends will agree with it, perhaps not admit it to the same degree lol. I have known people think they need to change after owning a supra a very long time, 95% regretted it and went straight back for another but if a feisty car scares you or you have to ask how much it costs to run one pop it to the end of your list

nothing much scares me,in speed sence,i always wanted a rx7 but i just think they getting on a bit now
but i know a freind of mine had one ad he said he loved it,reason being he said its the only car that scares the **** out of me lol and i guess id love to own a car that does that to you...but i do have to think about fuel costs a little bit as i do alot driving,prob 15k a year and i enjoy driving and need a everyday car,so i guess thats why i was thinking non turbo and s2000 or dc5

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]lol Both mine have to work for a living, I resent paying money to maintain a car that only comes out a few times a year but I have to admit when I worked 25 miles away from home my fuel bills were a lot more than my mortgage
Actually they still are cos I love driving them so much I take the very long way home lol [/COLOR]

I can't say I ever felt the S2000 felt cramped with the roof down, and yes, you lose some space in rear, but still more than an MR2 has lol But the S200 has a driving experience all of its own and do seriously hold thier price as a result.
I would say now is a good time to buy an MR2 Turbo because there sudden;y seems to be a fair few on the market and hence prices are competitive..:thumbup:

The one i had was very rare, i had only ever heard of one other like it since. Mine was that shape, 2.0ltr turbo, Targa roof, manual and had digital dash etc.. Great fun to drive and my only hate was the very notisable flex with the targa roof off round tight corners..
