The Toyota MR2 was the car that originally turned the affordable sports car market on its head.丰田MR2细胞是把原来得起轿车跑车市场发挥得淋漓尽致. Before it was launched in 1984, two seater mid-engined sportsters had been strictly for those on six-figure incomes.发射前夕1984年,两个座位中旬引擎一直严格sportsters名列6位数字的收入. Toyota changed all that, enabling the ordinary man to afford something which in terms of specification, if not in looks, was truly exotic.丰田改变一切,使一般人负担一些在规格、如果不看,真是奇特.

Though it's now anything but affordable new with prices starting at just over £18,000 for the third generation mid-engined open top roadster launched early in 2000, many old-shape first and second generation coupe versions are on the used market at realistic prices.虽然中国目前是什么负担,而是在刚刚开始的新价格为18000英镑,比第三代中旬开顶跑车引擎发动早在2000年,许多旧型第一代或第二代版本的采伐利用市场的实际价格.

A sleeker new-shape car was launched in 1990, equipped with a larger 2.0-litre engine.一个装有新形车启动于1990年,设有大型2.0公升引擎. Initially, lower-powered manual and automatic versions were offered (recognisable by the lack of a rear spoiler) as well as the GT and T-Bar.起初低功率手工和自动版本80707(辨认的破坏者缺乏后方)以及燃气轮机和T吧.

WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
A rewarding mid-engined sportster destined to become a classic.硕果中旬引擎sportster注定成为经典. The second generation version died prematurely but the latest one is so different you can expect values to remain firm, at least for a while.二代早逝但最新版本是如此不同,你可以期待的一个值保持坚定至少有一段时间.
The original shape is purposeful but rather dumpy.原来是有目的,而是矮胖形状. Second-generation cars are reasonably plentiful and have that little-Ferrari look though some criticised it for putting on bulk and weight.第二代车,已经是相当充裕,很少看,虽然有一些人批评法拉利它体积和重量作秀. Certainly, for a weekend away, it has more luggage space than its successor, though.当然,一个周末以外,它行李空间更比其继任者,虽然.

Decide first on first (1986-1990) or second (1990-1999) generation shape.决定先就第一或第二(1986-1990)(1990-1999)一代形成. Cars from the first generation are getting on a bit now, many will have had hard lives and so they?re best priced on a car-by-car basis.从第一代车有点年纪的现在,将有许多艰苦的生活,所以他们?最佳汽车售价再逐车基础.
If you want a second-generation 2.0-litre model, prices start at about £1,500 for the first 1990 G-plated cars; you'll pay around £300 more for the pokier GT version, but it's worth it.如果你想要二代2.0公升模式,价格为1500英镑,约于晚上七首90年镀车;您付出300多英镑左右的燃气轮机最初版本,但很值得.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
The older 1.6-litre cars needed to be worked hard, so you may find that the doubele-cam, 16-valve engine has been thrashed.旧1.6公升车须努力,让你觉得doubele凸轮、16气门发动机已经解决为止. All MR2s have a tendency to go straight on in the wet, so check for accident damage.所有mr2s有倾向就直奔在潮湿、支票等意外伤害.

ON THE ROAD 在路上
If you're looking at an MR2, you're probably also considering other sports cars like Mazda's MX-5.如果你看一个MR2细胞,你也许还考虑其他运动车像马自达的MX的五. Bear in mind however, that these will probably not share the MR2's classic mid-engined layout.牢记但是,这些可能不会同意MR2细胞的经典中旬引擎布局.

The flip side of the mid-engined coin on the other hand, is the noise involved.彼条中旬引擎钱币在另一方面,就是噪音.
