Toyota MR2 Spyder
Very fun and fast car to drive. The interior is not too roomy, but if you care for looks get this car. Not much cargo space either. Mazda Miata is the compteter of this car. This car is better thought because of its middle engine rear whell drive layout. This is used in most racing cars.

great car
the car is grat at high speed handeling and cornering. it's verry fast and nimble. the accelarition is ungodly fast for the size of the motor. the enjind setup is verry unique and has alot of advantiges mainly traction on take off from a stop. the car gets awesome gas millage for a sports car around 32 m.p.g. the car's interior is small at first but in about a week you adapt to it verry comfortably. the best thing is the wind in your hair at 140mph.
Not the best, but better than many
Although this car has been categorized as "sports", it isn't. It lacks the power to support, "sports". What many people are complaining about I have to agree with as far as easy scratches, "ears" on my top when dropped, and fogged headlights. However, I love the interior of this car as basic and simple as it is. It has what you need, not what you want. That's what I want. Of course it would be ideal if this car was a lexus, but it isn't. I highly recommend to purchase this car used and invest another 3k into a turbo and another 1k into suspension components. I will have spent a total of 11k into this car if I do so with the purchase price; then the car would be phenomenally fast and handling.
Head turner
Get one of these to turn heads where ever you go. Every one asks, "what is it". It is a blast to drive, corners like on rails, pulls away from a green light in a wink. Cargo space is limited but it's not a long tripper. Top is easy to work. Engine revs a little high at speed, could use a 6th gear in the manual tranny, but still gets 30 mpg. These are rare, every one's got a Miata. Overall experiance in a word -- FUN--
