Henny 0 Posted February 13, 2004 Let her take one for a test drive, and make sure you know the road well, they're a "bit lively" on the rear end if you let off the power while cornering... Some people love that, some people brick it and wrap it around the nearest tree.... :shock: :roll: Lots of nice sweeping corners with plenty off run-off ground is what you want during a test run so you can work out if she's good enough a driver to have/want one or not... I know that I couldn't handle one 'cos I have practically no RWD driving experience and wouldn't want to risk it! 8) :? I also know a lot of people (quite a few of 'em female) who test drove one around where I live and went right off 'em for exactly the reason above... :| Great cars if that's the kind of handling/fun you want, otherwise, be careful! :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joby 0 Posted February 13, 2004 Cheers Henny, something to think about especially as she`s a crap driver :-P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aposegil 0 Posted February 13, 2004 personaly i dont like them way to lively in the back end department i rather have a 3 series coupe if i had the choice. Ive seen to many of them written off round my area Also interior feels real cheap in my opinion just my 2p's worth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jedi-knight83 0 Posted February 13, 2004 expensive parts... no there cheap parts... if you r going to get an mr2 get the turbo inport.. my friend has a nice one and it goes like stick, the other engines are a bit gutless. as you driving, in the dry the handle superb, but the wet, ha, well we ended up going sideways round sainsburys roundabout (all nicely controlled of course) :lol: not one for a lady really.. :?
