Overview & Reviews
After undergoing extensive changes last year, the MR2's upgrade for 2004 comes in the way of a newly optional limited-slip differential.
- Lively and precise handling dynamics, scores high on the fun scale, available SMT transmission, affordable compared to other European-brand roadsters.
- Severe lack of storage space, bland interior design, not many safety features available.

An Absolute Blast to Drive - 2004 Toyota MR2 Spyder
By WHWilson - February 20 - 6:43 pmThis is my daily commute car and is pure fun to drive. Top is easily raised and lowered in a single motion from the drivers seat. Handling is so precise and agile, I sometimes think this car reads my mind. I really wish Houston had more twisty roads. Gets approximately 28 mpg even though my normal freeway speeds are 85 mph+. Car is absolutely rock solid all the way up to top speed of 130 mph.

Pure fun with a practical side - 2004 Toyota MR2 Spyder
By Spyderflash - December 19 - 2:00 amI have driven this car for over a year and still love it. It is so light and responsive. Many would-be sports cars feel like trucks in comparison. The brakes are world class and I average 30 mpg on regular. It is my daily driver, and I have taken it on road trips with minimal driver fatigue. This is a car that knows what it is and doesnt compromise its basic purpose. The top raises or lowers easily from inside the car in about 7 seconds.

Real Pleasure to own - 2004 Toyota MR2 Spyder
By GWS - October 14 - 3:33 amAfter having my MR2 now for over a year, I still have that desire to just find a reason to drive it. It is so tight and easy to handle. The sequential transmission is just plain fun. I have physical problems with my legs and had given up on clutches some time ago. Now with the touch of a finger, I have the same wonderful sensational feeling of driver control. I have owned several Toyotas and have always been impressed with the quality of craftsmanship that is put into each vehicle that Ive owned. When considering a sports car in this price range I was certain that nothing else could touch the dependability provided in this vehicle. If you dont test drive it youll be sorry.

2003 Spyder rocks! - 2004 Toyota MR2 Spyder
By tullymountain - October 12 - 2:00 amWe have a green spyder with tan leather, just got it and it is a blast! I cannot get the smile off my face whenever I drive it. The car turns like on rails, acclerates like a little rocket and gets great mileage to boot. Only complaint is getting in and out with top up...pretty tight squeeze but once inside incredibly comfortable. Some may find this strange but my wife and I both agree that the car drives considerable better than the 2001 SLK convertable we used to have! Highly recommended.

Fulfilling middle age crazys - 2004 Toyota MR2 Spyder
By Middle Age Crazy - October 24 - 10:00 amMR2 puts the ear to ear GRIN on your face. Its about mid-engine, two seat roadsters. Going into a 35MPH corner at 60MPH, down shifting and peddle to the metal out of the corner with the car is still sticking to the road. Yes, rapping out the little 4 cylinder motor and hitting 60MPH in 7-8 seconds does have its thrill to. Heres the important stuff. I just turned 55 Years YOUNG! I am 61" and weigh in at 270#s. I have no problems getting in & out of the car. The car only cost pocket change as compared to the super cars. Insurance is cheap and GAS Mileage is a whole lot better than the super cars. ENJOY IT NOW!

Best kept secret on the road today - 2004 Toyota MR2 Spyder
By Mark G - October 22 - 12:03 amIf you want a dumb muscle car that is fast off the line then keep looking. If you want a true roadster with phenomenal handling that wont stay in the shop like classic roadsters then stop looking. The Spyder is a very light car matched to a 138 HP engine. It sits low, has rear wheel drive and mid-engine balance. With a convertible top the overall feeling is unmatched exhilaration at any speed. Add beautiful styling, Toyota quality and 27-33 mpg and you cant beat it. I get an honest 28.6 mpg in city driving. The cars responsiveness cant be described. It is a go-kart feel, but with airbags and modern car features. Do NOT buy as an only car. Not enough storage. Treacherous on ice or snow.
