Pros: Uhm... I guess it's kind of an MR2
Cons: Mid-engined Miata
As an avid Toyota MR2 fan, it would be a gross understatement to say I am extremely disappointed by the new MR2 Spyder. When Toyota announced that it would be selling a new MR2, this time as a roadster, I was thrilled. This announcement came at roughly...

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,...

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...

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: 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: fun to drive
Cons: almost no storage
After a week in Toyota's newest version of the MR2 I still found myself wanting to put the top down and find a twisty two lane road. The multi valve 4 cylinder engine can move the MR2 to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds more power would be ok, more exhaust sound...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Handling, power, brakes, looks, ease of top, pulling power
Cons: No 6th gear
And it is definately worth it.
I had a choice of a Lotus Elise 111S or an MG-F when I drove past my Toyota dealer (on my way to the MG dealership to put down a deposit) and saw a green Roadster sitting in the showroom. It just cried out to be...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fun, Sporty, Reliable, Inexpensive, Eye-Catcher
Cons: No trunk, no keyless enter, no power antenna, no speed control
The Bottom Line: When is the 2003 coming out? :)
What a great little sports car for half the cost of the Porshce Boxster! I have had this car since Mar. 26 2000 and people still stop and ask me about it; everyone seems to think that it is Porsche at first glance and that is MUST be expensive. Far...

Pros: Hugs the road. A thrill to drive. This is a sportscar
Cons: Cargo space? What cargo space?
The Bottom Line: I never knew driving could be so much fun.
Only 5,000 were built. So if you wanted one, you paid dealer mark up. In this case, $2000. He did through in a nose bra. Its still in its box. Anyone want to buy it? Can't have the car. I meant the bra.
The MR2 which has been around a...

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: EVERYTHING!
Cons: needs a 6th gear
I had a choice between the MR2, Miata and Z3. After test driving all of them, I decided to get the MR2 mainly because of its excellent handling. Deciding on the MR2 was super easy, the hardest part was finding one! The 5 dealers I visited had a mark...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: go-kart handling, MR2 cachet, fun to row gears, adequete power, STYLING!
Cons: should have a 6th gear, could benefit from Celica GT-S motor, storage space
The Bottom Line: A fun toy, I would love to own one myself. But this is no daily driver!
The original MR2 was a memorable car for me. I owned a 1987 Toyota MR2, or as I liked to call, mister two. Mister Two handled great, it felt as if it drove on rails, and when you really wanted to, you could easily get the tail swinging out. It was a...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Head-turning styling; hadles like it's on rails
Cons: Zero cargo space
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this car because it is arguably the most fun you can have for under $25,000.
This car really has only one purpose. It's not to be practical; it's to be fun. And I can say it is a complete success. It's great looking (my wife and I endlessly receive compliments about it), it's suprisingly comfortable, it's a joy to drive, it's...
