Because they're a cheap mid engined toy. My wife used to have one and considering getting another.

I don't know if I like either but having just bought a £500 Mk2 mr2 as toy for trackdays while the vx is cooling down I have become
open to a whole world of cheap mid engined rwd cars
might get one when the wife's not looking !

There is a girl at work with a 400 BHP Mk2 MR2, though I can't imagine she exploits it all on her commute into the office.
Still, I am sure it will be pretty potent.

It's no wonder the Elise melts alternators, looking at how close that is to the exhaust manifold.

I prefer the vx
we are talking about getting a clio 172 now to add to the group
Mr2 could do with more power and better rear end grip
but maybe changing the rear wheel size and adding a wing could help it out

Cool, good read, the bar is yet to be installed tight so will make those changes once finished, thanks for the link.
