Completely agree. Having said that I do love 88/89 MR2SCs but they are more of a GT than a sports car. Same can be said for the 2nd gen Turbos, especially in the later years though.

As for the car, I'd second the earlier E36 M3. Just buy a good one.

Great DD. I never drive the BRZ anymore. It's kinda pointless to own for me now so I'm seriously considering selling it
