    MR2's are nice, and decent to drive & perform.
    That one is NOT nice.

    A Yaris deffo;)

    Maybe something like an old Triumph or a Morgan? They've got retro-coolness and are reasonably high performance.

    Supra or a Celica - great cars, can't go wrong. MR2 aint the best in my opinion.

    7K won't get you much, espically something unusual/nice, you'll get better value importing, and i'd guess your trying to keep the engine down enough for insurance reasons.
    Like someone said earlier how about a Yaris!! at least it should be in your budget

    Very nice.

    It says endless amount of receipts.

    Does a Jap import come with Receipts, I thought you got the auction report and thats all.

    I would go with a Celcia personally over the MR2 although when you drive the MR2 its very hard to get out of it.

    You guys are reccomending a supra to a 21 year old girl!
    What about:
    * High Insurance
    * Running Costs
    * Servicing costs
    * Parts
    * High Tax
    * High cost for very relativly old cars.
