Just thought I would post to say hello really. I have sold my MR2 rev 3 a few months back due to an addition to the family (lack of seats) and since then I have been driving to and from work in a polo.

I have always liked the style of the 300's and have now decided to set about buying one. However my knowledge on these cars is limited at its best. Obviously there is the LWB and SWB non turbo and turbo. Ideally I would of liked the turbo, but since my daily commute is 40 miles to and then 40 miles from work I think this rules out the TT. Granted 39 miles of the journey to work is motorway so maybe the TT performs reasonably well at a constant motorway speed? I have been told the n'a can prodeuce 25-30mpg if driven sensibly?

At the moment it looks as if my quest is for a n/a LWB 300, that will for the meantime remain in pretty much teh same condition as I buy it, with future plans to uprate the BHP and Torque curves :D

I know my old MR2 turbo was extremely reliable, what about the 300s?

Any advice would go down a treat about now as I am looking to make my first purchase in the next few months.

Regards

Reece

I had a TT loved the power, but was ALWAYS worried about turbo seals going

etc etc...

I think if i get another Zed it would defo be an N/A

 

Take the same money you would spend on taking an NA up to 280bhp and you could have a TT over 400 probably.

 

so it is tunable then, TT bigger power, double the trouble

 

All IMO of course
