Which would you rather have:
1. My Rev3 G-Limited.
2. My neighbour's 2005 Boxster S on 18s (parked on the road).
3. My neighbour's two doors down 2006 Boxster on 911 19s (parked on the drive).
It's gotta be the MR2!
Take your pick!

I'd have one of the Boxters. Sell it. Then buy 3 MR2's

My neighbour bought the Boxster S six months ago and paid £28k for it.
That would buy 28 decent NA MR2s or a fleet of 10 Turbos!
Those 18s dwarf my 15s!
Doesn't that Boxster look big!

I'm three doors down from it and it's a quiet country pub so no issues with pi$$ed blokes swaying their way home.

Silver Boxster looks good to me
I'm impressed your MR2's so red, I've not seen an early one retain it's colour so well, usually IMOC background pink at that age.

There's no colour fade whatsoever and the paintwork gleams after a wash:
Re: Take your pick!
PS: I've updated my profile, the red MR2 is a 1994 Rev3.
Re: Take your pick!
I'd take the Boxster, sell it, buy an MR2 Turbo and spend the rest on beer in the pub!

Aside from an upgraded CD player and speakers, it's 100% as Toyota intended, down to the automatic gearbox!

Agreed. How many £1k cars can you say that about?
Re: Take your pick!
In fact the MR2 looks a lot more sporty and sleek...
Looks like Keira Knightley between two Maggy Thatcher clones!
Also, the Boxster really is a bit like the MX5. You just can't drive one as a bloke...

Re: Take your pick!
the mr2 has the supercar look and never seems dated i look at some of these newer cars and thay are going backwards, cars are going all boxy bring back the curves thats what i say
