Tbh he doesnt know wat he wants but they would both cost him about the same everything considered. So realy for him it comes down to looks with the astra or the power with the mr2 as you say two very different propsitions

Hmm very good cars but the integra dc5 is a much more enticing proposition but its not in budget. Although the MR2 does have Toyota VVTi im guessing its similar to Honda Vtec?

Mister Two, all day long.
It drives the correct wheels, and it's black.

What he said.
Astra won't be as fun, or as quick.

lol i do think it looks nice with full irmy kit on it suprisingly hard to find a pic of an astra with irmy kit on. Although MR 2 has plenty more potential!
