With the exception of a few new options, like a limited slip differential, the 2004 Toyota MR2 Spyder saw very few changes for the model year.
The 2004 MR2 Spyder came in one trim level, with very few available options. The handful of choices included leather seating, the SMT, and cruise control. The engine, which was mounted in the middle of the car, was a 1.8-liter, 138 horsepower four-cylinder. The transmission was a five-speed manual, and it had rear-wheel drive. The top is designed to sit flush with the body of the car when down, so no cover is required. Fuel economy is about 25/32.
The number one reason why drivers say they love the 2004 MR2 Spyder is that it is fun to drive. With its nearly complete lack of storage space and poor performance in the snow, it is not a very practical car, but owners cite its good looks, excellent handling, and Toyota Reliability as reasons why they enjoy the 2004 Spyder.
What owners say
This is the best car I have ever owned! Beautiful styling, the roof down on sunny days, great acceleration and a nice "growl" from the engine. I used to wish I hadn't sold my Celica. Now it's history! Even the fuel consumption and insurance costs aren't too painful.
May 12, 2009Fast, great handling, decelerates as soon as you take your foot off the gas, so my well-preserved brakes are mostly used for coming to a complete stop. Reliable--only repairs are standard maintenance and oil changes. Consistently gets great mileage--30 in mostly city driving, 36 on long road trips (at 80 mph). Total strangers on the road and in parking lots give me compliments on this car, and it is TONS of FUN to drive. After owning it for four years, I still drive the 30-mile circle to get donuts down the street, and hit the mountains once a week just for the fun of it!
