Seriously guys, I cannot decide. I only plan on throwing down around $3.5k on one of these and because the SC300 falls within my price range here in California, has given me another option to look at. I wanted another (eventually) project car that must remain as a daily driver until my conversion is complete next year before I can really touch it. So I just wanted to see what your thoughts are. I honestly am getting anxious to just grab another car, although no real MR2's are coming my way.
N/A's are going as low as $1300 up to $2600, MR2 Turbos have too much stuff on them that folks are selling and going for $6k and higher. I know there has to be some available in between, so this poll is basically asking if I should wait. Or if I should just go ahead and grab a SC300. -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204

I agree with Hanyo, the MR2 is unpractical. You don't even need to consider the pros of the SC, just the cons of the MR. It maybe the more fun of the two choices, but a two seater is cramp! Mid-engine cars are overhyped because really, who needs the "balance" that it offers anyway? When's the last time you went to the touge? For groceries, girlfriend, anything, count on space for just one as there is no back seat to chuck things into. As for getting into a fender bender/crash, good luck with the MR2... For a daily driver (which is what you wanted), MR2 is thumbs down, period. For a weekend car, then yes, pick the MR2.
