2002 Toyota MR2 consumer reviews

No issues, great mechanical condition. No dents no dings. Just need to free up some garage space. Garage kept. Interior is also in excellent condition.

I always wanted a Miata, but their interiors are so small, I am 6'2" and 235 lbs. I fit quite comfortably in my MR2 Spyder. With a 5 speeed manual and excellent mid engine handling, the car is a gas to drive. There is a real feeling of driving engagement. I am getting 31 mpg. Never had a problem. Toyota reliability. With such limited production lots of people have no idea what it is and I get questions. Yes, storage is pretty limited, but this wasn't made for family cross country treks. I purchased the car in April 2017 with 42k miles and now I have 50k with no problems.

I get great gas mileage. It handles great. I've owned it 6 years, I've had no issues with it. 2002 with 120,000. Miles and still going strong!

This is my 4th Mr2. I absolutely love this automobile! I wouldn't purchase any other. It handles better than any other car that I have driven. I don't understand why Toyota stopped making them.

Very well built car. Lots of power for a small engine. Very reliable. Good gas milage. I love the transmision, CVC manual. Top is very easy to raise and lower.

This is not the fastest car I have owned or driven, but is the best handling and most fun to drive. The manual top takes only a few seconds to unlatch and open or shut. The sequential manual transmission works great and shifts with either steering wheel buttons or on the floor stick. The car is always rev matching on the down shifts and up shifts so you can leave your foot on the gas and go. Cruise control is only available with sequential manual, not with the 5-speed or 6-speed manual. Reliability is unbeleivable. My car is a red with black leather interior 2002 that has only needed oil changes and a new set of tires over the years. Only 24,000 miles it truly looks and runs like new showing no signs of wear. These cars will run forever and the maintenance/repairs are cheap compared to most comparable convertibles. People will positively comment when driving this car. People are surprised that it's a Toyota and that the Motor is in the back, with a storage compartment under the hood and behind the front seats. If you want a reliable, fun to drive sports car that is low maintenance, and the best bang for your buck, then get an MR2. You will love it!!! If you have some winding mountain roads that you can enjoy with the top down, then you will know what true happiness is.

Love my MR2 Two seater leather fab! Turns on a dime. Great performance. I will keep this classic car forever! It turns heads every day

Great top-down fun. Good comfort features. Affordable and economical. Very responsive, corners flat and fast. A little noisy - would be nice to have speed sensitive volume adjustment on the radio. The top is easy to stow or put in place. High speed handling improved when I removed the front end bra on the car (presumably it interfered with air dams). I am 6'4" and 280 and find it adequate for room. Engine cover luggage rack on my shopping list. SMT easy to learn (no clutch).

Bought 02 MR2. Like the car as it is light and fun. The downside is somewhat tinny sound when a rock picked up by the tires hits the underbody. If you have a choice the 2003 has projector headlamps. Aftermarket tops are about 450 so do not let that deter.

A few years ago I went "simple". Smaller house, energy efficient, out of town, garden the whole deal. Saving alot of money but, wanted some fun. Bought a beat up MR2, and straightened "her" out and have never had so much fun. She will run "forever" My daily driver is a old Dodge Ram diesel with 675,000 miles, well my ex daily driver. this MR2 gets me into town, a little milk, some tabasco and I'm on my way home "hauling ___". Incidently, I don't ahve a cow, but growing hot peppers for my own tabasco.
