Author: Several things can be said about the Toyota MR2 series: including the polarizing reactions most buyers have towards their car. The four-cylinder engine is at the heart of the strong emotions, it is powerful for its class and delivers a large amount of torque.
Stop and Go
The MR2 Base is equipped with a Toyota 2.2 liter four-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The engine is mated to a Toyota 4-speed Transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Toyota.
The MR2 uses power-assisted brakes, with Non-ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.
Statistics
The dimensions of the MR2 Base are 66.90 inches wide by 164.20 inches long. It sits 48.80 inches off the ground. It seats a standard two passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 94.50 allows for extra leg room for the rear passengers.
The listed retail price in 1991 (MSRP) was $15,488, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-average price. This price is in line with the industry average price for a two-door Coupe.
Fuel Efficiency
The fuel system for the 1991 MR2 is a MPI design, using gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is controlled by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The fuel capacity of the fuel tank is 14.30 gallons.
The 1991 MR2 gets 28 miles/gallon on the highway and only 22 in the city. This is below average for a coupe car.
Parting Shots
The 1991 model year was very successful for the Toyota MR2. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Base version) meant that buyers could find the version that best suited their needs.
