Toyota MR2
A test drive in a third-generation Toyota MR2 the other day reconfirmed what a great sports car it is. At £3000, a late-model 2005 version comes with none of the worries about self-masticating engines due to disintegrating pre-cats in the exhaust system. You also get a six-speed manual ’box, precise steering, zippy handling and rust resistance Mazda MX-5 owners can only envy.
