I don't know if you already have an MR2 or you'd buy one instead of a Box. I owned an 01 MR2 Spyder before buying my first Porsche - an 01 Boxster S. I loved my MR2 but it was a matter of hours before I totally forgot about it. Two entirely different cars. The Box beats the MR2 in every category except maybe longevity.

Read up on the IMS issue but don't freak out about it. There are ways to resolve it. Do lots of research on prices as well. Maintenance records are golden.
