The Wife's View of the MR2

Date of Review:  May 25, 2001
The Bottom Line: I am certainly not a sports car enthusiast. I am just a wife whose husband is going through premature midlife crisis. This review is written from that perspective.
Review: So your husband (or wife, but this car seems to me to be a guy?s car!) tells you they want a Toyota MR2 Spyder. A WHAT? Yes, a Spyder. It?s a little-known non-advertised 2-seater sports car manufactured by Toyota. I?ve been told it looks kind of...

Toyota 2001 MR2 Spyder A Dream Car if You re Willing to Pack Light

Date of Review:  Apr 22, 2001
The Bottom Line: Put the top down and the Spyder is one of the finest driving experiences available. Just don t try to bring anything with you!
Review: The Toyota MR2 Spyder is one of the latest of the 2 seater ?lower-priced? high-performance roadsters that have become enormously popular over the past decade. Other cars in the niche include the Porsche Boxster, BMW Z3, the Honda S2000 and the Audi...

What a ball to drive!

Date of Review:  Feb 14, 2001
The Bottom Line: It's great to pay $25k for something this fun to drive. Sure, it's impractical, but I love it when people stop me and want to look at my Porsche!
Review: I have been an avid sports car fan for quite some time, owning a Nissan 300 ZX as well as a Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR4. After driving a Jeep Wrangler for a couple years, I had a craving for a sports car again.

So, after months of research and...

GREAT fun....at first

Date of Review:  Nov 29, 2003
The Bottom Line: For recreation use, rarely used and only for fun, then I would recommend it. Otherwise, No, because it simply isn't practical to try to use it for everyday things.
Review: This car was a gift to me on my 17th birthday, when I received my license. I absolutely LOVED it...but then again, I was in high school. The handling was amazing, engine was surprisingly quiet, and the storage isn't as bad as you would think it was...

Pound for pound, the most fun that you can have legally

Date of Review:  Apr 23, 2001
The Bottom Line: Looking for a convertible sports car that's a head turner and fun to own and drive? Look no further than the MR2 Spyder. Find one, buy it, drive it, smile.
Review: I needed a replacement car after my 1995 Integra was humiliated by being stripped and dumped on a side street resting on 4 donuts. Looking around for a suitable fun to drive car (okay - I am in the second half of my 40's and the second half of my...

Get one and people will stare

Date of Review:  Jun 24, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you can find one, buy it. It's an investment since they are so limited.
Review: People will stare when you drive this car because there are so few of them out on the road. Toyota is only making 5,000 a year. This is great if you're lucky enough to find one. However, since they are so limited dealers are marking up the prices...

A fun toy

Date of Review:  Nov 26, 2001
The Bottom Line: It's incredible fun and a joy to drive. Buy it as a weekend guy and a toy, but it's not optimal for a daily driver.
Review:
I've made a few observations after having the car for eight months:

- The tachometer is the primary gauge on the console since it's the largest of the three gauges and is in the middle; the speedometer is smaller and on the left side...

Pocket Rocket in Topless Roadster form

Date of Review:  Jul 2, 2001
The Bottom Line: Fast little bugger with no respect for the speed limit or other drivers!
Review: Though not a Mazda Miata (which is a little more fun to drive - you get to thrash it around the track more), the 2001 Toyota MR2 Spyder comes pretty close!

Test driven at a dealership (great sales person, who let me thrash the car as long...

An engineer's perspective

Date of Review:  May 27, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you love the classic British sports cars, you will be thrilled with the Spyder.
Review: I learned to drive in a Triumph TR4, quite a roadster from the late-1960's. The Toyota MR2 Spyder is darned close, and much better in terms of safety features. I've yet to hit the 1,000 mile mark on mine so I have not tested its performance to the...

After 30,000 miles

Date of Review:  Feb 7, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you are willing to live with its limitations it's the best thing since sliced bread. But know what you're getting into.
Review: After being out of two seat sports cars for nearly twenty years, 14 months ago I convinced my skeptical wife and we bought one. She hates it. I love it.

I love the feels-like-it's-on-a -rail handling, the power is adequate, though not much...
