Ha Ha that goes without saying theese days, did you know he has a special turbo on the car that actually moves the universe around the car. So Physics does not apply to the car on full throttle!!

My girlfriends next door neighbour has had loads of problems with his. Thousands spent and it still isn't even road worthy.
To see the stress he went through has put me off for life.

I have only herd good things about the galant vr4 I have to say. I have some friends that have them due to having kids/dogs and they seem to be really nice. So much room and very cool to look at on track I have to say.
The MR2 is a great car, like with anything you just need to drive it how it should be driven. The ass end does like to step out and yes it might catch you out but most the time when driven to the road conditions there ace! One of my all time fav cars I have to say. Great for in and about town good on motor ways and if your a track minded person there’s just something about them. Parts are not over expensive either and as long as you do still with a Rev 3 or above the electronics should not be a problem either

Not all Galant estates are VR4's (Twin Turbo), they're mainly N/A 2.5 V6's. I'm also not sure that your starlet can do over 150mph?
The main issues with the auto version of the VR4 is the torque converter seal leaking and that requires the gearbox to be removed.
Car needs alot of oil, but then what big car doesn't? Fuel economy is poor but then the car is value for money! AYC and ASC will see it beating a starlet around corners

Just seems odd, that even although i dont know much about them that i know this fact though.

it's only myth.
the rev 1 mr2's were poor at handling (between the years of 89 -92)
toyota knew this and then revamped the chassis to rev2 and ironed out the problems with the 1st one,
rev3, was more of a behind the scenes revamp with reliabilty etc

A woman in wigan bought an mr2 turbo off a lad and died that night in it due to accelerating and it catching her out. :-s
Also a friend of ours let his misses drive his modded mr2 and on a dual carraigeway she put her foot down and ended up facing the wrong way :s
i know its about the driver too but stories like that would scare me to get in one
Hopefully picking our vr4 up on sunday i think a photo is in order of how many friends we can get in the boot and take a pic lol the car is hugeeee but doesnt feel like its a big estate when driving it.
