It simply goes where you point it. It's very balanced even at near it's limits, of which of course, I never came close. But you could still get the rear end out if really pushed, but the MR2 is easy to control. This is about as good as it gets. Brakes are four-wheel ventilated discs at all four corners.
ABS is standard and braking is powerful.
Stops from 40 mph required less than 40 feet under full control. Pedal feel is excellent. On the inside is a cockpit that is quite large, comfortable and simple to use. The seats fit wheel and can be manually adjusted fore, aft and for seat back rake. It was not difficult to find a comfortable driving position.
