well id suggest a starlet as you didnt have yours for long - plus im presuming your in a stable job now?? as i wouldnt want you to go through what you went before of having to sell ya p&j as you lost ya job again.
Oh and usually mr2 turbos are more expensive to insure and run.

I know someone with an MR2 turbo, he loves it, handles like a go kart, cheaper than you think to insure.
Not so great MPG and I guess just normal Jap car running costs for that size car.
I hear that once an MR2 starts to get a little bit happy at the rear they can be hard to keep on the road / correct.
A Starlet on the other hand does not have to be an expensive car to run. Mine was standard other than springs and an air filter, it was great on fuel and I never had a problem.

Both cars are fun in different way,mr2 definately gives you a go kart buzz.
Fuel wise hmmm!
Gt 195 miles from £29
Gts 260ish miles from £43
An thats includin heavy foot
I like driving both of them but my most fav is the mr2 its solid an beefy it always puts a smile on me face put it this way i feel more safe in the mr2 then the starlet.

Its ok mate, Ben is taking very good care of her! tidied a few bits up that were a bit rough, removed the A/C, relocated the filter to behind the grill, and bought a blitz boost gauge for it. Think the next thing hes planning is getting a full exhaust and a fmic. Serious mate, the car was clean when you had it, all ben does is clean the damn thing

wow Fizturbo!! i never ever got that many miles from my mr2!!
I got an average of 170-200 from £40.
That was the only downside to the car, drank lots for the power it was running
Also to the above comments about it being "twitchy" etc...
There not. there fine unless you drive like a cock in the wet and cant control a rwd.
