Great Driving Feel

With the newer computerized cars, the tactile driving feeling, winding motion, exhaust sound, and jolting gear shifting sensation are gone. One feels insulated away from the car and road. It feels the car is driving you instead with the help of various kinds of digital driving aids. Well the MR2 Spyder makes your whole senses come alive! You feel the asphalt on your hands, you feel the road undulations, you hear the engine roar, you feel the transmission shifting to message your body, you feel the suspension and perfect 50/50 weight distribution handle the road curves, you feel wind caresses your hair, you smell the wildflowers. Drive it before you die. Furthermore, it is reliable Ferrari wannabe.

Best Cost-Effective Value

As a REALTOR, I almost drive all day nearly every day. Car is extremely economic, very safety-oriented: airbags, breaks technology, etc. Interior is bigger and more spacious than any other sports car I've seen. Fun to drive, heads turning all over the place. Great car! I currently own two actually and one will be up for sale soon.

Delightfully unique driving experience

Every practical thing you need in a vehicle and everything you want! I love this car! My dad had one new and I bought one a couple years ago based on my nostalgia... but this car met and exceeded all expectation!

Awesome car and very rare. I love this car because it is great on gas and very reliable. It handles great with its mid engine placement.

Exotic car? Or not?

I got an 03 MR2 in the middle of my senior year. My dad had the first gen when I was a kid and i fell in love then, then he got the 03 and being a in my teens seeing this car I wished I could just drive it. I drove it my whole senior year and I don't see why people think that it won't beat other cars because I raced so many kids and I just spanked them. Yes my car had some performance put into it but they're light weight and fast. I have never drove a car that has compared to the joy that this car has. I am young and I don't really need storage so I just put subs in the compartment behind the seats and I have people looking my way everywhere I go. Instead of the stock hp I have upgraded it to around 270 hp after a few parts but as it is right now I put mustangs to shame. I'm in the military and I left my car at home and I miss it everyday. But when I get back I hope to get it around 650 hp and it will blow away pretty much anything I race. This car isn't hard to do work to at all some things are pricy like tires but I run two types of tires so I can get more traction for hammering around corners. If you're looking for a car that you just want to have fun in and have a daily driver this car will do anything you want. You have the ability to have a fun cruiser to a car that can go really fast if you put the time and effort into it. I have no complaints about this car because it's my over sized go cart and who doesn't want that and I'm 6'2 and I fit just fine in it

my favorite car

I keep my car in the garage most of the time to make sure it stays as great as I can keep it. I wish it had more storage room for road trips, but my wife and I still love it.
