What is the ideal MR Driving Style?

Snap oversteer is always the biggest catch for inexperienced MR drivers.
 
Essentially, never back off in the middle of a turn, as that shifts the weight off the back, reducing the grip you have on the bum end causing you to spin.

As above, plus be very SMOOTH with all your inputs.
 
Take it to a track and drive it there to learn its behaviour, where its a safe environment and you are unlikely tp cause damage.  And its a lot of fun!!

RdSbiggest trap for me is unknown road with a sweeping bend that tightens up.

 
+1. Had a couple of clenching moments on unfamiliar roads - definately worth being careful and not approaching the limit on any roads I don't know well. 
 
I also find being a bit aggressive in terms of steering into low speed corners helps with the understeer - applying more lock than I should, really trying to get the front to turn in, rather than gently applying lock (making sure all my braking has been done by this point). Then smoothness on the way out, putting power down and winding off lock. For higher speed corners, remembering that whatever speed I carry into the corner needs to be carried out of the corner as well...
 
Driving style in the wet involves basically nannying the car through corners...
 
 
James May in the last episode of the most recent series of Top Gear gives a good indication of the type of handling "quirk" you can expect with an MR2 ;) Having said that, it's very rewarding when driven well - but not really a car that can be used to do fulli sik dorifto in, at least not without ending up embarrassed or worse.

When I read RDS and Esskay, I assume you're talking about the adubs, because I can relate with that, but not the same in the sw20.
 
In tight corners, the AW11 is amazing, so easy to through around. Its also far less prone to snap oversteer than the SW20.
 
I find the AW11 is far more predictable as well... but that might just be a function of the power.

I think the aw11 has a lower center of gravity to the sw20, so that might, dnt qoute me, make it more predictable compare to the sw20 and i do think the extra power and extra weight of the sw20 will make it different to drive aswell... But i also say, be gentle wen u back off mid corner on sharp ones, she will bite back.... Hahaha... I just love aw11s!!

I think the shorter wheelbase of the AW11 helps as well.

Shorter wheelbase generally means more tricky to catch oversteer (track being equal), but more responsive to direction change.

But I also learnt to go fast on sportsbikes before I ever had a quick car.. It might have more of an effect on driving style than you think.

 
I rode motorcycles long before I owned a car, and I quickly learned about grip on different road surfaces, especially when pushing hard.
You get into the habit of looking ahead to spot rough or wet surfaces, gravel etc, and I am sure that habit has saved me many times since.
