Apparently the new shape MR2 is meant to be amazing cross country. Has anyone come across one on the road?

I know a guy who has one, they are pretty nippy, I had to change up at 5,500rpm to stay with him, from 2nd to 4th gear. They are very tail happy, I was slightly concerned watching it go around the corner in front of me, didn't look stable, while the scoob had lots of grip left.
He is very happy with the car, even if he is finding it a tad expensive for commuting from Glasgow to Edinburgh with each day.

My previous car was a new shape MR2 and I found it great fun to drive. Steering and gearbox were spot on but IMO I always felt that Toyota sold themselves short by only putting 138 bhp in it.

Put it up against my current car or a Scooby and it wouldn't have hung on for long.

I liked it but can't honestly say I miss it!
