Nice one, Cogs. Always like reading some period reviews, those Brookland Books are always good for some of this stuff, but usually don't have a great deal of Australian reviews.

Thanks cogs, awesome!!
 
I recall some of those articles.  Also there were a few others I recall, like Wheels JDM Gen3 test, and ABS tests where the MR2 performed very poorly for some reason.
 
I will dig through my pile of mags and see if anything is there, but I think I gave them all away a while back :(
 
Cheers

What's the deal with the blurred out text on p3 or the modern motor jan 90 page? Car Australia were a lot more kinder to the car in 94 than Car UK was with the initial 1990 release. Get the impression the writers had a grumpy day that day, and made the cover 'How Toyota Spoilt the New MR2' headline, still interesting reading though.

It's the start of an unrelated article about a different car.

I recall wheels did a photo shoot of "sporty" toyotas in the late 80s/early 90s, a follow on from their slogan at the time.  They had some ripper action shots of Celica, Supra, Cressida, even the SV21 v6 camry!! (cant recall if mr2 was there, but probably was).  Some great pics with powerslides, burnouts etc, driven by Kevin Bartlett.

Thought there was originally a thread for old ads,  but I can't seem to find it any more, so added to this one.

Features one of the first critical road tests of the SW20 as well as a used buyers guide for the AW11.

BUMP for anyone that didn't see these when first posted, some scans of MR2/Toyota magazine articles and ads from past years:
