Used 2004 Toyota MR2 Spyder 2dr Convertible (1.8L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
Toys! Gotta have'm
To date, a really inexpensive toy. Nice car for the money but look out when the Pontiac Solstice arrives!
Best kept secret on the road today
If you want a dumb muscle car that is fast off the line then keep looking. If you want a true roadster with phenomenal handling that won't stay in the shop like classic roadsters then stop looking. The Spyder is a very light car matched to a 138 HP engine. It sits low, has rear wheel drive and mid-engine balance. With a convertible top the overall feeling is unmatched exhilaration at any speed. Add beautiful styling, Toyota quality and 27-33 mpg and you can't beat it. I get an honest 28.6 mpg in city driving. The car's responsiveness can't be described. It is a go-kart feel, but with airbags and modern car features. Do NOT buy as an only car. Not enough storage. Treacherous on ice or snow.
