Honestly, if you are looking for auto, you should give mr2 a pass. People who want auto normally is looking for comfort and ease of use. Both of which it is not. MR2 is a performance car, auto robs that away. It is raw and comes with a midship character that require some skill( read driver involvement) to master. If you are in for the looks there are many better looking cars (maybe?) that are "cheaper" and easier to drive e.g. fto, gto, fiat coupe, hyundai coupe tiburan/fx....

Just my two bits.

Bro Soff
I disagree that FTO,GTO, Tiburan all looks better than the MR2. Like GrondZro I too like to drive the MR2 Auto for weekends tho I do take it to the office since it is only a short drive. I have test driven the Hyundai, MX5 and FTOs ... and believe me, the MR2 drives much better even in Auto format. Maybe like Bro Tom said, if you really enjoy the trills of hard driving then a manual MR2 will be more involving... but like GrdZro said...KL traffic will kill your left leg if you are caught in one mid-city jam in a manual.( and ask your self how often you go HARD driving?.....that's the reason why the MRS sells so well... it's catered to this market with semi auto shift)

PS- btw... I get my trills of hard driving on Go Karts.... it's more like F1 and safer than on "public road trills". If you like gear shift trills...get a Evo or STI and go rallying off road...my opinion anyway..

I think Soff is trying to say tht some may think/prefer FTO etc etc over MR2.

For me, I never really look at MR2 until recently....my gf said mid life crisis....hahahahaha...I used to be an Evo fans. But I dont look at Evo anymore...I am now a Toyota fans.

KL traffic is bad and I live in the worse part of KL, Ampang....

BTW Soff maybe your suspension not so good thats why you say your car not comfy leh?
