Toyota MR2 Spyder Overview
The Toyota MR2 Spyder was introduced in 2000 as an incarnation of the MR2, which was discontinued in 1995. The Spyder had striking looks and with its lightweight body, mid-mounted engine, and rear-wheel drive, the Spyder was a favorite among those who love to drive.
The MR2 Spyder resembles the Porche Boxster that was released a few years earlier. Though named the MR-S in Japan, Toyota thought that in America drivers would not buy a car named "Mrs.," so they changed the S to the "Spyder" designation.
The MR2 Spyder is popular for racing, with most racers swapping out the engine for a more powerful version. There are also turbo-charged Spyders on the racing circuit.
The MR2, along with the Celica, was discontinued in 2005 due to slow sales and increased competition.

(102 reviews)Customers say
The Toyota MR2 Spyder is celebrated for its fun and exhilarating driving experience across all model years. Owners appreciate its nimble handling, sporty design, and impressive fuel efficiency, with many reporting up to 36 miles per gallon. The car is also praised for its lightweight and sharp acceleration. However, common drawbacks include limited cargo space and a cramped interior, which can be a drawback for those needing more practicality. Additionally, some drivers have expressed concerns regarding engine reliability and the automatic transmission in earlier models. Despite these issues, the thrill of driving and the car's sporty character typically outweigh the negatives for most owners.

The MR2 Spyder is a fun collectible car the value is going up great gas mileage and longevity excellent investment
As an older guy now in my '60's, I've owned my fair share of sports cars. In high school my sister and I jointly purchased a 1961 Triumph TR3; our first real sports car. I've owned an MGB (unfortunately), a TR6-GT, a Saab Sonnet and a Datsun 2000 Roadster. I purchased my MR2 Spyder 2 years ago and it now has a little over 70,000 miles on the odometer. The original owner took very good care of the car following the scheduled maintenance and changing oil every 3,000 miles. God bless this man. I drove the car home from San Francisco to where we live on the Southern California coast- what a beautiful drive! Top down, awesome response and handling, great fuel economy and...people's reaction to the car was amazing. I actually bought the car because I knew it was a reliable Toyota product that was fun, fast and economical, but I never expected the reaction I received at almost every stop. And I want to say this about the storage problem most people are concerned with. My wife and I traveled from Santa Barbara to Portland and back and never had a problem with storage- we even packed food for our picnics. It requires some forethought, but after living out of a Westfalia camper during our kid's surf careers; packing our MR2 was easy- we simply utilized the space available- problem solved! This car is absolutely the very best car I've ever owed. After two years and many trips around the West Coast I still hear myself saying - God, I love this car... and I do!
This is a car for people who are into DRIVING. Mine has the manual tranny - I LOVE listening to the engine (located right behind ya) respond to the accelerator and gear changes, and the mid-engine configuration really shows its stuff. Such a SHAME that Toyota continues to stonewall about the pre-cat issue.
Great gas mileage & so much fun to drive! I didnt do much to it - only replaced with a shorter antenna, added Japanese badges..but kept it stock. Only sold it to get a larger car that would seat 4. I would definitely recommend - its one car I wouldnt mind owning again.
