I have to do this thread. And sorry for my bad english.

I'm torned between these two cars. Actually, i love them both. I would like to hear real life stories from MR2 owners (i know here is a few of them) about their cars and life with them. These two cars have similarities which interest me: real sports car-ness, agility, handling, decent performance, not-so-high-maintenance costs, good looking, RWD and so on... I think i can live with MR2 impracticality, cos it would be our second car. Or actually our summer car, we have here winters wich last over 4 months

But still, GT86 is a 4 seater coupe so it would be better. We doesn't have kids. At the moment but in the future yes..

Biggest difference is price. GT86 cost here 40.000 euros and MR2 between 10 thousand to 15 thousand. To get GT86 (used one) i have to wait till summer 2014. Then i would have paid off one part of my mortage and saved enough money to have this car with small loan. On the other hand, i would get MR2 for summer '13 and without loan.

So, is GT86/FS-R/BRZ that much better that i would like to pay that extra 15-20 thousand euros? I'm going to get both cars in loong test drive next summer. I hope that it helps me to decide. Worst case scenario is that i want both cars and i live with huge loans

I hope not

Your's opinion?
