[QUOTE="camlok, post: 2441407, member: 37497"] I'll try answering this, but for all the gurus out there, feel free to correct me. It is Mid enginer Rear wheel drive. Most other cars are FF/FR. Normally an MR car has better handling than an FF/FR, but for the MR2 SW20, you need to watch out when you are taking a corner at high speed. An inexperience driver might lose control of the car. As for track car, a stock SW20 is quite decent but you will need mods if you really want to be good. Yes. :P More HP than the new Civic typr R, and slightly lighter, if I'm not mistaken. Can hit 0-100 in 6 seconds range. Depends what you use it for. It's a 2 seater and have limited storage space, so not good if you are bringning your wife/fiancee/mother/mother in law for shopping. Maintenance wise you will have to let one of the many owners here answer that. It will depend on the condition of the car you are getting, and how you plan to punish it :P As for all 2nd hand car >10 years old, obtaining bank loan is almost impossible. You can try a 3rd party loan/personal loans from bank, but it will be at a higher interest rate (~8-10% me thinks) I think there were a few for sale in the forums in the past few months. A good condition stock one will go around 40k, while a modified one can go to 60k or even higher. [/QUOTE]
