I figured I can do a side by side comparison video of my two dear MR2s of the AW11 generation. One is a first year Mk1a and the other last year Mk1b. I may have forgotten some details but overall verdict is Mk1b is the better car unless you have a secret crush on the Mk1a. But of course no matter the submodel the rust free car is always the best car and trust me it matters for this era Japanese cars.
