When it comes to MR2's, everyone has an opinion. Either they are a great car, or one that they wouldn't go near. What is the truth? Is there an unbiased opinion.

No books in recent print provide an objective evaluation, but recently I came across a 1996 version of the Lemon-Aid Used Car Guide. This is a Canadian book so the material is more relevant to Canada for pricing/etc. than the USA.

Here is a scanned excerpt pertaining to the MR2, including performance, reliability, original pricing data, and of course resale values back in 1996.
