I've ridden in one of those MR2's. I don't know if you've driven them, but here's my review:
The friend who was driving had me time a bunch of 0-60 runs. It felt a lot faster than the 8-9 seconds we were getting (no clutch drops or anything), but the main reason was that the car is geared really high to make it feel powerful. Those gears run out around 50 mph though. After that, its a slug. And the engine starting ticking for a bit after the abuse.
Handling was good. There's no visibility with the top up. The interior is really cheap. Fun car though.
At that price, you could probably find a nice 92-96 6 speed vette though, which I think is much better.
