Did it again. Just bought my second MR2!

In 2000 I bought one of the first MR2's that were available in The Netherlands. I drove the car for four years and really loved it.

My business partners thinks that true business men shouldn't drive convertibles. Your client get jealous and think: he's driving this nice car, and I paid the bill!!!

Though I don't agree, I didn't buy a new MR2 after the four years.

But... lucky me - I'm married. Though my wife was in for a boring convertible (Renault Megane, Peugeot 307, etc.) I talked her into a second MR2. It's a 2003 one.

Now why did I do it..?

1 It drives magnificent
2 It looks great
3 I can afford it
4 It feels good
5 I just loooooooooove attention... Everybody turns!
6 It is spacy enough for a 2 week vacation (did it often)
7 It has a perfect size - not to big neither to small
8 It's fast
9 Because it's the first car I wanted to buy for a second time
10 I'm a lover. Now why do I love you? Just BELIEVE me!

So, there are no cons. Ha, ha, there are! One thing I just hate is that the car either isn't suitable for winter conditions, or I'm a poor driver. Very poor. Let's say I can't drive properly!

Apart from that, if you live in a natural environment, do clean the holes through wich the water running from the soft top tries to get away. If you don't your car - especially the roomy luggage compartiment - will fill with water. I'm gidding? Sorry, I'm not.

The 2000 MR2 had problems with the part that keeps the tention on the distribution. The engine started to sound like a diesel, yet my dealer said - it's fine. Went back 6 times, waited almost 10,000 miles. Than the dealer said: mmm, there may be a problem. They fixed it.
