MR2 vs MX5
on: July 16, 2006, 23:15:26 PM
Ive narrowed it down to these two, and Im having a real hard time deciding;

The MR2 is in great condition and looks bad ass but the 5 is convertible and much cheaper to insure (£200 less) & run, and its a nice car to be inside of. I gotta choose tomorrow morning.

Both colours look way better in real life.

The eunos/mx5 is the way to go here.

The MR2 cant live up to its looks unless its a turbo really, which that isnt :-)


Open top driving for £200 less, thats cheaper to run to boot? and you needed to put a poll on here to decide?  ;)

I agree, do with the 5.

I love the MR2 range but tbh that colour is nasty, go with the 5 :)

Besides the 5 is a great little puller ;)

voted mr2 just on looks alone, the blue paint and stuck/painted on front number plate do the MX5 no favours, altho theres space for a hairdryer and comb in the back...

The colour isnt as bad as i thought but still definately not something i would pick TBH. But then again i wouldnt want the mr2 either   :?

I prefer the look and the image of the MR2, but I know having driven one I know that the MX-5 is fantastic to drive. Bit of a quandry, but of the two Idtake the MX-5 - topdown goodness.

Im surprised the poll is so close, I thought the mr2 would rinse it.

Ive found a supposedly mint mx5 so Im gonna look tonight, I got bad vibes about the other one, it looked a bit mess close up.

MX5, tho first thing I would do is throw it in the garage and get the steering rack, drive shaft and allighment looked at. Anyone that knows a experienced mx5 driver will say its all about perfect allighment :)

Much history on both the cars?
