MR2 is considerably heavier than a miata. an underpowered rwd roadster really needs to be lightweight. I have instructed 2 weekends in a MR2 and its a very fun car, but you definately feel its weight.
Also, the hardtop mr2s can be very hard to find, and a t-topped car is the same as a convertible as far as requiring a rollbar, etc.
Based on comments from my students, brakes are questionable on the MR2.
Not to mention a miata is more practical (never thought i would say that...)
more storage. with a mr2 you really would need a trailer hitch and a small trailer if you plan on tracking it.
