The MR2 was completely revamped in 90, and is in most respects a totally differnet car than the 80's version. Turbo vs sc is a big difference in power adder, never drove the older one but the turbo was pretty standard for the time, noticable lag but lots of jam once spooled up. I have sat in both, and the 90's is much better for day to day comfort. Better build standards mean they aren't rusted out as easy.
One thing I really notice these days with all the 90's japanese sports cars is that it's easier to find an rhd import than a na version, particularly with the 300zx and the mr2's. I really liked the 300 back in the day, almost bought a 90 off the floor, just couldn't afford the turbo and didn't want to settle for the na!
