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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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: 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...

Recommended: Yes
Pros: The ultimate ride! for 1/2 the price
Cons: Storage of course..interior ain't fancy but check the price tag.
My specs -
Male, 29 years old
I have always owned sports cars and I love this car. My roommate just bought a 2004 Mercedes Sport C class something. We swapped cars for a test drive. He was upset...why? Because the MR2 kicks major @ss and is so much fun to drive.
My comments:
1. The convertible top is a piece of cake! Take it down without leaving your seat at a stop light.
2. Metro sexual!!??? Chicks dig the car and you in it - don't fool yourself - anyone that thinks this boxy sportster is a girly car can't afford it. (p.s. my other car is 1977 Corvette - Black!) Side note, Miata -> definitely gay
3. Drive it - it is the most fun I have ever had driving a car
4. No kids, so I can survive without the storage space.
P.S. - They have discontinued this model....collector car?
