A mate of mine had a 90 MR2 a few years back and I remember him replacing the sills (when it was about 6 yrs old) because they were as rotten as a pig.

Do pigs rot very badly though?

I suppose a dead one would.

I've only ever had dealings with the earlier shape MR2s, maybe the more curvaceous newer ones don't dissolve so rapidly? But as far as I can gather, they're fairly typically Japanese in that they're reliable and are keenly sought after by the modifying fraternity.

Just buy one, you can always worry about the details later! :)

Never owned one, and have no real desire to either, but my bro in laws ex had an early MK1, and while it ran sweet enough it was rotten, a fate I believe befalls the T tops more as seals go and water manages to get inside.

TBH I could think of much nicer things for a mid life crisis :D
