Doug DeMuro gives the 1995 Toyota MR2 Turbo a highly positive 88/100 rating, praising its exceptional design and surprising practicality—the removable t-tops with a spring-loaded wind deflector and three separate trunks make it both stylish and functional, while its mid-engine layout delivers impressive performance with 200 horsepower and light, tossable handling. The cabin tech and driving experience shine with an excellent manual shifter, though the clutch has a tricky bite point that requires careful modulation and the parking brake feels like an afterthought. DeMuro emphasizes that these undervalued turbos represent a unique era of focused Japanese sports car design that will never be replicated, making this an ideal purchase for enthusiasts seeking affordable, engaging canyon-road fun without needing a supercar.
