Sounds pretty good, If you can find a stock one that is.

I've been finding some stock turbos for strangely low prices on DC Craigslist

Pretty cool, usually DC seems to be overpriced stuff or just about right stuff.

The snap oversteer is a suspension design 'problem' that can be remedied. Not an inherent problem with mid-engine. A change in geometry can make it go away.

If you are a pedestrian 'sporty car' shopper get a 1993 which has the cure. If you are an autocrosser who really wants the happy tail to rotate, go ahead and get the 1990-1992 cars with the 'problem.'

Early S2000s were criticized for the same condition.

yeah I was aware that Toyota "neutered" the later models.. I'm new to mid engine cars but I'm not too unfamiliar with sporty cars. I have no trouble driving my friends AP1 S2k, but I can imagine that the mr2 is a different beast.

go to a skidpan day or defensive driving course, the snap-oversteer problem is overstated.. you're not going to go pirouetting off every wet corner.. but you should learn the limits either way.

If you get a t-top model look for mould/damp in the carpets/seats... they all leak at some point, just try and find one that was looked after.

http://www.twosrus.com/ are awesome for parts

any specific questions? I've owned a '94 Australian model with the 3SGE and now own a '91 JDM Turbo.

the big difference is you are driving an s2000 anticipating sporty driving. Same for autocrossers in MR2s. But when you are a middle aged art teacher on the way to school on a slick morning, it's a different story.

Here's everything you need to know - get a AW111 instead.

Not bad, but there are a good amount of mods, reversible, but starting from a clean slate is always nice to do.

MR2 Turbos are faster. AW11 (1st generation) is more fun.

I like the AW11, it's just that the 2nd gen MR2 just looks better to me. I'm fine with a N/A too.

I'd go NA. Still fun, more reliable, more fuel efficient, and way WAY easier to work on (trust me on this one)
