Yeah the weak at heart are not for MR2's they are very quirky and they are expensive to maintain (especially turbo models) but with alot of work it can be one of the most enjoyable driving experiences. But unlike the xB there is nothing to save your A$$ if you pass the limits of handling which in the MR2's case = snap oversteer which is EVIL! if your not expecting it you will have to change your shorts when the car stops. but for anyone out there like myself who wants an open top coupe with unique handling characteristics not normally available at this price point I recommend picking a used 85-89 up screw the turbo or SC N/A all the way. Careless drivers need not apply!
