I wonder if there were any comparison reviews...
Not even close in terms of price.

The SW20 was priced closer to a Corvette.

Base 240sx was $16,000 ($26,200 in 2015)
Base Civic SI was $10,000 ($16,400 in 2015)

Base Mustang Cobra $17,195 ($28,154 in 2015)
Z28 Camaro (T56 + LT1) $19,550 ($32,665 in 2015)

Base MR2 $20,749 ($33,973 in 2015)
Turbo MR2 $29,243 ($47,881 in 2015)

Completely different markets.


As for working.... It's just a backwards FWD car.
