I drove a bunch of these MR2s in the 80s and in my 20s , working for a rental company. It had speed, fantastic maneuvering, acceleration, and felt almost as light as spider. What a glorious time it was. Thanks for the video.
Rumor has it they're working on it. Supposedly either the celica or the mr2 or possibly both are coming back. I just hope that the mr2 comes first. The celica wouldn't be able to offer anything substantial that the 86 does already since they're both FR.
SKDK the Celica was originally Rwd which went to fwd later. I honestly think that MR2 should return as a Lexus and gun for other luxury sports cars. The celica can a be a great viable competitor to the Civic SI.
@@YEABREAD it likely will be considering how much money the company saves by doing so. The Toyobaru would have been much more expensive had they done it alone.

I brought mine, 92 GLimited manual non turbo, t top, with a 3sge for 2k nzd, had no major issues and had money to get back to standard, but they still rip hard
do the history of Group-B. I remember watching it on TV when I was very little and nagging my mum constantly for match box model of the Audi - which they didn't do!
I own a 92 sw20 myself and i just want to give you guys a big thanks for making the video. Keep these cars alive and make the car community aware of these cars, really appreciate the video.
The first gen is how I fell in love with Toyota. I finally was able to buy a Spyder but sold it about a year ago. To say "I miss driving it" is an understatement.
Had a 91 turbo, dream car and I loved it. Sadly I was young and my first kid was on the way... sold it for 4500 us dollars about 10 years ago... Showed my oldest pictures of it and she loved it. She asked me why I got rid of if it, looked her straight in the eye, and told her "because of YOU". HAHA. Hopefully one day I can have one again
I respect any straight man who has the balls to own a Spyder or a Miata, I love the cars to bits but I'd never own one I couldn't be seen in that every day
But are you guys actually liking the looks of it, or are you being all substance over style business about the love to your car? Nothing wrong with that, I am just curious if anyone actually loves the looks of the ZZW30. Like imagine the car was actual horseshite to drive would you still like it for its looks atleast? Because I could say that for the AW11 and the SW20.
Cottsify r u really that insecure about your sexuality that your biggest fear about owning an mr2 (not so much the miata) is looking girly and not all the mechanical issues your gonna run into and how long it takes to pull ypur engine.
My girlfriends sister bought a first gen for $1000 in a small surf town in Canada and I always thought it was badass, but I had never even driven a car at that time so I never paid as much attention to it as I should. It was stick and sounded like buff horses mating. She ended up driving it for a year or so then selling it in perfect running condition for $300. Once I got into cars I realized how cool that car truly was and I will never forgive myself for not giving her $300 bucks and having a legend of a daily driver. IT SERIOUSLY KEEPS ME AWAKE SOME NIGHTS. I WRITE THIS AT 2AM FULL OF REGRET
I had an 89 Mk1 when I was 20. It was great fun. Loved the pop up lights. I blew a piston ring from oil surge starvation when cornering hard! Good times.
My dad had a mr2 so story time On my dads first date he took his other car an old rusty dodge ram things didn't really work out on his second date with a different girl he used the mr2 now they have 6 kids
Man, I found your channel a few days ago and I have to say you're quickly becoming one of my favourites. I love your delivery and humour - right up my street!
Oscar Carrasquillo so next time do the correct question. If you see the design of the 2 cars theyre pretty similar that why the confusion about youre comment xddd
Same here bro(.../sis?)(/non binary individual?...fuck its tough these days). Every day. And now prices are going up because ARSEHOLES like this are telling everyone how good they are and I'm like shut up man, don't tell them, then they'll god dammit! They'll know! Just joking about the arsehole thing, I really enjoyed this vid...
"The car had a tendency to let the tail out if you let off the gas during a turn..." Not if you put much wider tires on the rear than the front, it didn't. ;) Mine had 245/35R18 on the rear and 215/35R18 on the front and literally could not come unstuck, period. BFG KDWS. It was red with Enkei PF09 9-spokes in matte dark gunmetallic with red chromed lug nuts, and T-tops of course. Definitely my favorite car I ever owned and the best performing. Also, crazily enough, the best _winter_ car I ever owned... and I owned a Subaru Imprezza Outback Sport and a Suzuki Samurai, so... heh.
Just bought first generation MR (like a 3 weeks ago). Best choice ever. If you are thinking if you should - hell yeah! Drives like nothing I have ever driven. And I have drove a bit, also in rallies.
I know all of this! I just wanna see and hear funny ass Donut Media talk about it. And maybe they'll teach me something I don't know about it. Or talk about Callaway stuff.
snore fest. Actually the celica GT4/Alltrac are interesting but Honda prelude? what interesting about that car? this is coming from somone who actually wanted one in high school but came to realize its just a Honda accord.
Hey mate! I’m in to buy one down here in NZ, is a 91 automatic twin cam belt (no turbo) mr2c, the price is 5k and it has 196km done on the clock. What do you think? Would you have any advice? (It’s a red one, I’m in love)
My mom drove an MR2. She had it for a long time but somebody broke into it and at the time her family was poor, so she sold it. If it wasn’t for that jerk we would’ve kept it and that’s the car I would’ve learned manual in. At least we have a MazdaSpeed 3 tho..
Lucas Tekkan , I'm a guy that made a decision not based on what some fuckboi said on RUclips. Mid engine cars are spiteful machines. Group think is what's wrong with idiots like him.
I got that but it ain't the same as abandonment/approval/mystery the regular "dad" jokes have! Besides, isn't it so common for young car enthusiasts to have disapproving parents? haha
Sadly, people in Canada are getting rebates to crush these for new cars. Eight to $10,000 for a 1993 MR2 my best friend saw one crushed and almost started crying, immaculate yellow. Nothing wrong with it. Was one of those days where you’re just like- ‘What the fuck purpose did that serve crushing a classic for a rebate on a new Camry…I don’t want to live anymore’ 😢
I owned a MK2 MR2 "92 plate" during the early 2000's Standard GT type but god damn, i loved it! it was a twitchy bastard on the ass end in corners, but that was all part of the cars personality. and it made me learn alot on how to handle cars in those corners lol. Wish i never sold it :( i still miss it to this day.
I just bought a 1985 MR2 AW11 for 1.2k USD. The moment I started watching Donut and found out these cars were a cheap, viable mid engine 2 door, it became one of my dream cars, and I can't believe I got one for what I did (It's an absolute steal for the condition it was). Got it delivered yesterday, the day I found it. I wasn't passing it up for anything. Body has small bits of surface rust, but no bubbling paint, and only one point of rust rot behind the rear right mudguard
It even has the original triangle wheels, which I really, really wanted. Original interior just with some aftermarket speakers. 240,000km on it, not a rolling body, it has an engine and the 5 speed manual trans
So, thank you guys for making me aware of this car. I never thought I could get anything remotely like it at the price point it cost. It was all I could realistically afford, so the fact that there was something like this was just.. I'm so lucky
The S2000 had two kinda different models (AP1 and the AP2) while still being the same. But the History of Honda S-Cars is kinda interesting. You got the S360, S500, S600, S800 and finally the S2000 so there is more to its history :)
I used to deliver pizzas in my clean red mk1 and legit had this old man ask how I could afford the payments. Also delivered to a couple that said "hey we saw you drop that movie at Blockbuster today and that turning radius is tiight. Also one bit you didn't mention was that the S/C model didn't handle quite as good as the N/A as the rear suspension was slightly different and it weighed a bit more. Ok ok one more thing. When you take the sunroof out on place it in the storage space under the bonnet, you can literally feel the lower cg and better balance in the handling. Love these vids dudes keep them coming!
Kind of wish you had mentioned that Toyota took the MR2 to LeMans by stretching the chassis and dropping the 1UZ V8 in it, then calling it the SARD MC8 (of which there is one road legal example for homologation).
i have doubt before buy an mr2, and after listen this episode its literally the reason why i buy one. Thank James and Donut to make such good episodes about car. Damn 90s car are the best.
CineRaphael a shorter wheelbase Ferrari. Hahahaha. But still, the MR2 that I saw here in the Philippines is bad ass. It's all read and fucking loud. Just seeing that pop up headlight gave me orgasms
Toyota needs to bring back more sports cars

Luis Manuel Mejia Diaz yeah i don’t understand why all the japanese car companies that made insane, affordable cars that beat all the euro and US cars stopped.

You think Toyota should bring back the MR2? I hope so.
Rumor has it they're working on it. Supposedly either the celica or the mr2 or possibly both are coming back. I just hope that the mr2 comes first. The celica wouldn't be able to offer anything substantial that the 86 does already since they're both FR.
SKDK the Celica was originally Rwd which went to fwd later. I honestly think that MR2 should return as a Lexus and gun for other luxury sports cars. The celica can a be a great viable competitor to the Civic SI.

I know all of this! I just wanna see and hear funny ass Donut Media talk about it. And maybe they'll teach me something I don't know about it. Or talk about Callaway stuff.
Perfecz Lol stop

You should definitely do a celica or the honda prelude
That's my celica at 3:37!
Brandon Peppers cool man, it's really clean
snore fest. Actually the celica GT4/Alltrac are interesting but Honda prelude? what interesting about that car? this is coming from somone who actually wanted one in high school but came to realize its just a Honda accord.
airtec87 you can make a good amount of power with a prelude, but yeah not many people think they're cool
Yes, and there are rumors that a new Celica could come in 2020 as well as the MR2 in 2021
Please don't stop until every car ever has been covered k thanks.
Also any Saab, the Volvo T5-R's or the Alfa Giulia would make for great stories
I had no idea it was that fast! You never see comparisons pitting the MR2 against the halo cars.
Now's the perfect time... CELICA!!!
narlycharley your a ricer
I remember u from NCO
They need a comeback
Nsx!!!!
I love my 91 MR2. Such an amazing car!
Hey mate!
I’m in to buy one down here in NZ, is a 91 automatic twin cam belt (no turbo) mr2c, the price is 5k and it has 196km done on the clock. What do you think? Would you have any advice? (It’s a red one, I’m in love)
@@Marcelo101BFS get it
My mom drove an MR2. She had it for a long time but somebody broke into it and at the time her family was poor, so she sold it. If it wasn’t for that jerk we would’ve kept it and that’s the car I would’ve learned manual in. At least we have a MazdaSpeed 3 tho..
Dude, you are the funniest f**kin’ car guy on RUclips. Awesome vids man, keep doing it. I think I wAnt a Gen2 MR2 now. Dammit.
good luck getting a clean title, non molested one for a reasonable price :)
airtec87 I've got one. Don't know about reasonable price though lol.
I paid 4700$ for a 91 mr2 NA 5spd with 120k miles and completely stock. One owner, garage kept, when i saw the ad i fuckin nutted.
Please don't. God the community doesn't need more fuckbois buying a car because this douche made a video.
You will crash
Lucas Tekkan , I'm a guy that made a decision not based on what some fuckboi said on RUclips. Mid engine cars are spiteful machines. Group think is what's wrong with idiots like him.
I would like to be gotten up to speed on the PT Cruiser. I feel like that would be a wonderfully silly video.

And the Prowler, which was supposed to be indicative of where Plymouth was going design-wise, before they company got the ax altogether.
No daddy jokes this week? :(
Kevin Nguyen He IS the daddy
I got that but it ain't the same as abandonment/approval/mystery the regular "dad" jokes have!
Besides, isn't it so common for young car enthusiasts to have disapproving parents? haha
6:40
There’s was Jessica this time aha
Aha Fucken Jessica
But do a video on Cutlass Supreme
Sadly, people in Canada are getting rebates to crush these for new cars. Eight to $10,000 for a 1993 MR2 my best friend saw one crushed and almost started crying, immaculate yellow. Nothing wrong with it.
Was one of those days where you’re just like-
‘What the fuck purpose did that serve crushing a classic for a rebate on a new Camry…I don’t want to live anymore’ 😢
I owned a MK2 MR2 "92 plate" during the early 2000's
Standard GT type but god damn, i loved it!
it was a twitchy bastard on the ass end in corners, but that was all part of the cars personality.
and it made me learn alot on how to handle cars in those corners lol.
Wish i never sold it :( i still miss it to this day.
this car suspension is really high-quality product..
BEFORE THE PERSON NAMED KAI KOGASHIWA DRIVES IT.
33rd corner
Crazy for love intensifies

Do a video on Porsche 911
I just bought a 1985 MR2 AW11 for 1.2k USD. The moment I started watching Donut and found out these cars were a cheap, viable mid engine 2 door, it became one of my dream cars, and I can't believe I got one for what I did (It's an absolute steal for the condition it was). Got it delivered yesterday, the day I found it. I wasn't passing it up for anything. Body has small bits of surface rust, but no bubbling paint, and only one point of rust rot behind the rear right mudguard
It even has the original triangle wheels, which I really, really wanted. Original interior just with some aftermarket speakers. 240,000km on it, not a rolling body, it has an engine and the 5 speed manual trans
So, thank you guys for making me aware of this car. I never thought I could get anything remotely like it at the price point it cost. It was all I could realistically afford, so the fact that there was something like this was just.. I'm so lucky
Dude I died when he said “cops” and then you hear “get on the ground!!” 😂😂
4AGE? Do an up to speed on the AE86/GT86!
LeftyMonster X2
86s then
X4
DEJA VU
AE86!!
3000GT please!!
Yeah!
And it also had... @2:15 POP POP POP UP, UP AND DOWN HEADLIGHTS!!!
Bru, I loved your design at 1:55 😂
Honda s2k next plz
Project Touge isn't there only like one model?
The S2000 had two kinda different models (AP1 and the AP2) while still being the same.
But the History of Honda S-Cars is kinda interesting.
You got the S360, S500, S600, S800 and finally the S2000 so there is more to its history :)
Should be Honda S series, which includes S2000
Since S2000's history is a bit too short
Jack N/A agreed
Jack N/A it’s still a bad ass car tho
I had an MR2 once. It literally killed me, but only for 2 minutes :^)
Huehuehue~
The mr2 is one of the most beautiful cars I have ever laid my eyes upon.
I used to deliver pizzas in my clean red mk1 and legit had this old man ask how I could afford the payments. Also delivered to a couple that said "hey we saw you drop that movie at Blockbuster today and that turning radius is tiight. Also one bit you didn't mention was that the S/C model didn't handle quite as good as the N/A as the rear suspension was slightly different and it weighed a bit more. Ok ok one more thing. When you take the sunroof out on place it in the storage space under the bonnet, you can literally feel the lower cg and better balance in the handling. Love these vids dudes keep them coming!
Kind of wish you had mentioned that Toyota took the MR2 to LeMans by stretching the chassis and dropping the 1UZ V8 in it, then calling it the SARD MC8 (of which there is one road legal example for homologation).
who else thinks Toyota is the best car brand?
i have doubt before buy an mr2, and after listen this episode its literally the reason why i buy one. Thank James and Donut to make such good episodes about car. Damn 90s car are the best.
Saw an MR2 once, I thought it was a Ferrari lmao 😂😂
That's the idea lol
TheTmaaan55 yeah , but damn son. I want one
I saw a Ferrari Once and thought it was an MR2 Lul
Halooord Rides mr2 look kinda like Ferrari F355 and 348
CineRaphael a shorter wheelbase Ferrari. Hahahaha. But still, the MR2 that I saw here in the Philippines is bad ass. It's all read and fucking loud. Just seeing that pop up headlight gave me orgasms
such a good series, love it. Please keep doing this
Do one of these on the s2000
I had a SW20 tuned to 400hp. Never had more fun in a car. And thats 20 years away...
