fantastic car. I have a green MR2 turbo. i am fine with the performance of it - it's perfect for me. Sure, storage is almost nonexistent, but it's ok for me, since I am the only 1 driving it most of the time. This car is very easy to care for. Less washing time! It's perfect! Funnnn to drive!

An Absolute Blast to Drive

This is my daily commute car and is pure fun to drive. Top is easily raised and lowered in a single motion from the driver's seat. Handling is so precise and agile, I sometimes think this car reads my mind. I really wish Houston had more twisty roads. Gets approximately 28 mpg even though my normal freeway speeds are 85 mph+. Car is absolutely rock solid all the way up to top speed of 130 mph.

This is a car to just have fun in, no more carrying around kids. Wonderful to drive, great with the gas prices being so high, fill it up about every 2 weeks. Good on the freeways, great around town.

If you are looking for a small convertible, this is the car to get. I test dove S2000 and Miata and overall, this is the best..

Rita's Fun Car

I was looking for a fun car and I got it. It drives like a dream and parks easily. I get alot of attention from other sports car owners and everyone seems to love it's appearance, as do I. Even though there isn't much storage, who cares. I didn't buy it for storage. I bought it for the sports aspect and that I got and more. I would recommend it to anyone. My husband is 6'4" tall and fits in it easily. Even though it is small, it seems spacious and has plenty of leg room.

To date, a really inexpensive toy. Nice car for the money but look out when the Pontiac Solstice arrives!

Lots of fun but only for fun

We bought the MR2 from the original owner with 25,000 miles. My wife really wanted one. It is a great car overall but absolutely not practical. Hardly any more room than a motorcycle. I take my daughter to school on the way to work. With my laptop bag, her and me, not much room for anything else. Strictly a car for cruising.

Snow machine - YES

My summer-only Potenzas had to go, so I put a set of Michelin X-Ice tires on my '04 MR2 and voila! An unlikely snow machine! Before X-Ice I got stuck in a quarter-inch of snow. With the X-Ice tires installed I went to a level parking lot right after a 6-inch snow, before any plowing had been done. Much to my surprise, and delight, my 2200 pound, less than 6 inch ground clearance car thought it was a snow plow! I could start, stop, back up, and park - all without any problem. Sure, the tires slipped some, after all, it was slick snow. But I doubt that the engine revved over 2000 rpm at any time. Ice performance was just as good. Summer fun, winter fun; you can't beat it!

MR2

I am 6'1" tall. The MR2 has plenty of room with the exception the seat is about 6" to close. My right leg gets tired while driving. No cruse contral is offered. This would allow you to strech you leg. The car is fun to drive. Not the fastest car I have owned, but it is the most fun. There is a lot of road noise compaired to the higher priced sports cars, but for the price you cannot beat it.
