From the June 1986 Issue of Car and Driver:The MR2 earned rave reviews from the press for its finely balanced handling, its superb five-speed gearbox, and its jewel-like twin-cam, sixteen-valve, four-cylinder engine. We at C/D unanimously voted the MR2 onto our first available “Ten Best Cars” list this year, and we also singled out its gearbox and its ergonomic layout as the best in the industry. In all, it was quite an auspicious start for the perky little two-seater, which soon came to be known affectionately as Mister Two.
