Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Lively and precise handling dynamics, scores high on the fun scale, available SMT transmission, affordable compared to other European-brand roadsters.
Cons
- Severe lack of storage space, bland interior design, not many safety features available.
What’s new
After undergoing extensive changes last year, the MR2's upgrade for 2004 comes in the way of a newly optional limited-slip differential.
Edmunds says
Though better suited as a weekend car than a daily driver, the MR2 Spyder is the perfect alternative for those suffering from Mazda Miata burnout.

Real Pleasure to own
4.88 out of 5 starsGWS, 12/17/2004
2004 Toyota MR2 Spyder 2dr Convertible (1.8L 4cyl 6M)
After having my MR2 now for over a
year, I still have that desire to just
find a reason to drive it. It is so
tight and easy to handle.
The sequential transmission is just
plain fun. I have physical problems
with my legs and had given up on
clutches some time ago. Now with the
touch of a finger, I have the same
wonderful sensational feeling of
driver control.
I … have owned several Toyotas and have
always been impressed with the quality
of craftsmanship that is put into each
vehicle that I've owned.
When considering a sports car in this
price range I was certain that nothing
else could touch the dependability
provided in this vehicle.
If you don't test drive it you'll be
sorry.
If only it had suitcase capacity...

2004 Toyota MR2 Spyder 2dr Convertible (1.8L 4cyl 6M)
A very fine car in many ways. Handles perfectly. Quite agile on corners. Driving it is a pleasure. Almost every time I enter or leave a parking lot, somebody tells me what a cool car it is. I have actually managed to carry driver and passenger with two bags of golf clubs behind the seats.
2003 Spyder rocks!

2004 Toyota MR2 Spyder 2dr Convertible (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
We have a green spyder with tan leather,
just got it and it is a blast! I cannot get the
smile off my face whenever I drive it. The car
turns like on rails, acclerates like a little
rocket and gets great mileage to boot. Only
complaint is getting in and out with top
up...pretty tight squeeze but once inside
incredibly comfortable. Some may find this
strange but my wife … and I both agree that the
car drives considerable better than the 2001
SLK convertable we used to have! Highly
recommended.
Love This Car

2004 Toyota MR2 Spyder 2dr Convertible (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
Its a fun car to tool around in, not
real good for long trips but if you can
handle the lack of storage and just
enjoy the ride with the top down and
wind blowin in your hair music
pumpin...its worth every penny i spend
on it.
