It's hard to compare a FF car and a MR car. They are two totally different types of cars. Both cars are great handling cars in it's class. That's about all I can tell you.

Depends. The Celica FF will be more forgiving and hand a stock MK2 MR2 it's tail lights with the Hotchkiss kit. But MR has a balance advantage in weight distribution over the Celica. It will be hard to control at the limit though. Check and see if Hotchkiss makes stuff for the MR2.

MR2 > Celica
rwd and mid engine layout is def better than FF, but only if you can control it!

I didn't say it! :p:
I'd say a MR's design is just more tricky to drive at the limit. Especially the Mk2 MR2. I never really had much driver time in a Mk2 but from what I've heard, they're one of the least forgiving MR cars to drive at the limit. As a NSX driver how he felt if he ever got his tail out. :) Is it bad? Depends what kind of view you're looking at it. Around town though you won't notice any trickyness.

Oh ya, watchout for bad weather! Thank goodness it only rains here, I'd never want to drive in snow. The true benefits of MR shine on a nice curvy dry road.
