Toyota MR-S

[Yc86]

Hi all..

 

Can anyone provide details for the toyota MRS? saw that there are different versions, normal, type S and V specs. what are the differences?

Performance specs like 0-100 timing/ quartermile timings.. general handling compared to the MX-5.. etc

 

Also, are all MR-S parallel imported cars? and are aftermarket parts easily available as compared to the DC5, evo and wrx?

 

Just doing some research on this car, since i could find little info on the net. Any input here will be appreciated

The only things (through the option dvd tests) i know is that stock standard, its handling is just a bit better than all its peers, and when modded properly, it even outhandles the amuse s2k.

MR-S got 3 edition. Standard MR-S, MR-S S edition and MR-S V-edition.

The addition thing about the V-edition is that you can choose green colour car body but beige leather seats and beige leather top. The other 2 versions are canvas and 3 interior colours.

 

The extras from the S-edition from the standard is chrome muffler tip, metal pedals for SMT, automatic antenna, immobiliser system(not allowed in singapore cause not IDA approved), foldable boards to cover the "boot space" behind the seats.

 

All MR-S are PI cars. Combination on the S-edition and standard is 24 combinations. None of the PI will keep stock for this vehicle also. Delivery period is about 8-12 weeks for this car.

 

General handling, i feels that it's better than the current MX-5. Also, the front looks like a Porsche.

Hmnn... Wonder is that light blue original?

[Yc86]

u're driving an ignis?

 

hehe, yah... front look kinda like porsche

[Yc86]

the one i went to see was the silver 5MT one...

it seems that MR-S before 2003 had only 5 speed, after that they added one more gear.

 

hehe, i still prefer a manual one, thou they sat the SMT can shift faster than human

[Titanium]

Actually MRS drop a lot... the last time i check the price is ard $100k.

 

84K look quite ok for a brand new car.
