Default Which would you pick?

The choice right now is a '91 MR2 N/A, and a '91 240sx.

I want the MR2, but my lady wants a 240. I already told the MR2 guy that I'll buy the car, so I'm picking that up either way.

If it was up to you, which one would you pick?

As a daily driver, the 240 would be easier to live with. More interior and trunk space. Not sure though which is more reliable.

That's why my lady wants to pick the 240; mainly because of the hatch and storage space. I'm just driving it to and from school/work, so space isn't that important to me. Besides, the MR2 is actually REALLY roomy inside.

Oh yea... the MR2 has 188k on it. =X
The guy is doing some maintenance before handing it over.

Have you ever done work on a mid-engine car? Or will you be having someone else do the work? Mid-engine cars are tough to work on.

Also, I have heard some "he said she said" about 91-92 MR2's having oversteer issues... kind of like the original AP1's having the most sensitivity to the snap oversteer kind of thing.

That being said... MR2FTMFW

^^ LOL. No, I've never had an MR before.. but it's not going to get any mods - just the regular oil changes.
