Must say I've never cared for the egg shaped looks of the neons or many other modern cars for that matter, but you gotta respect it runs rings around the primitive mk2 in autocross. Of course thats what 15 years of engineering advancements can do. I think tho you will soon find that the mk2 is a much greater pleasure to drive on a daily basis than the neon. Supra designers though of just about everything except for a damn cupholder. :idea:

Don't worry about getting razzed about your neon. This group is much more anti-SUV than anti-sport-sedan. :snipersm:

Which is best is of course a matter of personal opinion but a couple of quick facts: 82-83 were 145-150hp range, 84 automagic was 150 or 84 w/"power pack" option or 5sp was 160hp, 85-86 all were 160. The larger style sunshade was available thru 84 and the 85-86 got the wraparound spoiler/smaller sunshade. So if you like the larger sunshade and want the extra power, that would limit you to only an 84 w/power pack option. Of course there's also the L vs. Sport model with the L being the "economized
Supra - same engine but drawbacks include lack of fender flares, plain non-adjustable bucket seats and narrower tires (and some years had non-lsd diffs IIRC). Hope you find the one you like best.
