Pros: Beautiful car, great value for the cost, handles and accelerates well, a great car
Cons: Small trunk and two seats only
Smart, classy, sexy, thrilling, awe inspiring, beautiful, fast, safe, relatively inexpensive. What am I describing? I am describing the new Toyota MR2 Spyder. I recently took one for a test drive and found the car to be something different from...

Pros: handling, appearance, cost, mileage, drop-top!
Cons: no storage space, metrosexual (heh)
The Bottom Line: Most affordable pure sports cars on the market.
This review is based on a used 2000 MR2 Spyder with 51k miles, purchased on 5/1/2004. This was my first real car purchase. My last one was a beat up 92 VW Fox that I bought for $700 to get me to and from my internships back in college. I lived ...

Pros: acceleration, handling, freedom!
Cons: little storage space, dealer mark-up
I wasn't in the market for a new car until I saw this baby! It was love at lst sight. I am now one of 5,000 lucky owners. Boy, has my life taken on a new meaning. This car, is a real attention getter! I can't go anywhere through town without someone...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: beautiful; roomier than miata;
Cons: terrible HP and torque
Roadsters have been popping up here and there since Miata became a sales success in 1989. So far the only Japanese competitor against the Mazda has been the S2000, but this car costs nearly twice as much as a Miata. The cute little roadster has also...

Pros: Price/Performance Ratio
Cons: Storage Space
Ever hear some computer geek say "If cars were like computers they'd all go 1,000 mph; get 250mpg and cost $100?". The inferred point is that cars aren't technologically advancing as fast as computers. My first all-day drive in the new MR2...

Pros: Sporty, attractive, handles well
Cons: No room whatsoever
This new Toyota MR2 Spyder is definitely turning heads. In appearance and performance, this is the sportiest MR2 yet. The car handles like a dream, takes corners like a champ, you get the idea. I do have a couple relatively major criticisms, but I will...

Pros: Great performance, always fun!
Cons: Lumbar support,
This opinion is a review of my Toyota MR2 Spyder after 4000 miles, with a few six-hour drives, three-hour drives, and lots of city driving thrown in. It covers what I love and what I am disappointed about, and to whom I would recommend this car. At the...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great fun to drive; accelerates like a bat out of Hell; corners like a jackrabbit.
Cons: Ticket magnet; next to no storage space for luggage.
This is a revue of the 2001. I'll move it when the category shows up.
The MR2 (which stands for Mid-engined, Rear-drive, 2-seater) offers as much speed, cornering, and sheer excitement as roadsters costing twice as much. About the only...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: appearance, comfort, handling, suspension, coolness
Cons: cargo space
In looking for a new car recently, I test drove both the 2001 Toyota MR2 and its direct competitor, the 2001 Mazda Miata. Considering that you can probably get out the door with an MR2 for only $2k more than a Miata, I can see no reason to even think...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No
Pros: styling, handling
Cons: low power, non-standard gearing to compensate
A single fatal flaw prevents this car from getting my recommendation.
While I agree with all the other reviews of this car on this site
(style/handling excellent; space limited), I think that all other
reviewers, as well as Toyota,...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: responsiveness, agility
Cons: passenger room
I've read the other opinions, and I mostly DISagree on some repeated points and figures. Maybe that's because I'm from Europe, just went living here, but still I thought I had to make some remarks.
First of all, 138 HP for such a NON heavy...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Handling, Fuel economy, Reasonable Insurance, Generally well kept.
Cons: Storage Space, Engine noise.
The Bottom Line: A real joy to drive. Great as an excuse to not get in the groceries on your day off. As a second car, its perfect.
If you are reading this review, then you are hunting for a used car, possibly a second car with a bit of pizazz, if so, a six year old MR-2 Spyder is likely to perform that role with distinction. It should not be too rare to find one that has been ...

I bought this car because I could get it for MSRP. Shop around and you can get it for this price too! I wanted something fun, and sporty that didn't set me back 40K. I also wanted something...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Handling!
Gas Mileage!
Appearance (Solar Yellow!)
Looks I get from everyone on the road!!!
Cons: Trunk space (none);
Stereo just OK+;
No Cruise Control
The Bottom Line: More fun than practical. You only live once--MR2 is better- built and cheaper than a Porsche. (Buy it in Solar Yellow!)
I've owned five; count 'em FIVE MR2's. Think I like em?
The two old bodies (85; 86) were just FUN, and reliable as dawn. My 1991 Turbo is a whole different animal, and I still wax it once a month! I love it!
The new MR2 Spyder reminds me...

Pros: Fun & Exclusive
Cons: Lack of storage space
I am the proud owner of a black on black 2000 Toyota MR2 Spyder. I traded my 1987 MR2 in on it. I bought this car with 4000 miles on it, for $20,000 and got $1100 for my trade in.
I had my old MR2 for 4 years and was very comfortable with...
