i reckon they look ghey, and are mostly driven by tossers, although the turbo can be tuned nicely, id say the mr2 turbo out of them two but not a personal choice for a car of mine

Without question the MR2...

RWD fun cannot be bettered...there 245 bhp out the box can be over 300 with very little spent...jap reliability etc etc

Calibra...hmm based on cav hahaha...will struggle to find a decent one not abused about now...old hat as has been said...

Deffo MR2....

T-bar looks like a T in the middle. (like the aerotop but with a bit in the middle)

The Aerotop (dunno if there is an mr2 one tbh... but the entire top comes off, (like the supra off Fast n Furious.)

If that made any sense ?

Mr2 - Jap and has allot more tuning potential , plus RWD and mid engine cant be bad.

You dont get a MR2 Aerotop

Only Tbar (2 glass panels) or Coupe

Ive had Tbar and mate has a Coupe.If I was to have another it would be a Coupe deffo

had a cally T liked it alot may be old but still a nice motor and can be tuned very well just gota look after them like any tuned car, not a total fan of jap, exspenzive to tune yet you dont gain alot of horses for your cash, stay with vaux

just get a good mechanic who knows what there looking for on either of them to give them a good check mate, also have a look on www.clubcalibra.co.uk

You can get them in hardtop, with sunroof or T-bar (knightrider style).

The only reasons for the calibra would be if you needed room for 4, and/or lived somewhere where snow/ice was a prob.

My mum has had a calibra 16v and MR2 GT...... she loved the MR2 over the calibra.

The calibra is just a lumbering cav with a more revealing skirt on. The MR2 really is a mini ferarri.... make you concentrate when driving, and can be made to very fast very easily
