MR2 all the way, had a GT and now got a NA Rev3. Yes it doesnt pull as hard but just the way it drives is awesome, handles really well and treat it with respect you shouldn't have any issues! Plus the tubbys I have been in have been sooooooo much quicker than a GT, the boost was awesome and every time he changed gear your head bangs on the headrest ;) Yes the tax is more, yes the fuel bill is more, yes they are a pain to work on and yes they are less practical without the ability to drop the back seats down. But I LOVE mine!
