Agree to disagree. Cars that are simply good do not get the accolades this car has received. And don't tell me EVERYONE in journalism has been bribed or some other such nonsense.

It's a great car. A great car with some teething issues, but a great car none the less. I doubt the mr2 received anywhere near the same level of praise or sales numbers it's first year.

Yeah but that would take away all the fun.

I just feel bad for quite a few people on the forum that said they fully intended to order the car and decided not to as a result of all the reported problems.

Glad I bought before joining the forum and didn't let the small percentage of naysayers cloud my judgement.

So we're only supposed to say good stuff about our cars on here?

Let's not be jackasses but I love when people point out problems, because it often leads to simple but not obvious solutions.

My favorite is the rear deck popping noise which I found out I can fix with a tiny bit spray of lubricant in the right spots.

Haters gonna hate.
Lovers gonna love.

They say the speed of a cricket's chirp (in the ECU) determines the HP of the vehicle.
