But seriously though ... if I had to choose one, I'll go for the MR2. Not sure why but AE101 being FWD, I can never accept them as a pure sports car ... Same goes for the Prelude.
A Type R is a different matter though.
As for a Merc, yes ... they are good cars. My old man drives one but then again, it's not really the image you'd want for a young person like you.
So ... MR2 is the go in my books. You only live once ...
