  If you are looking for fun, this is it. - 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder
  By silvertoy - December 27 - 10:00 am

  Seriously, if anyone gives this car a bad review, then they probably dont own one. I find myself driving 15 miles out of the way on my commute to and from work, just so I can fit in those extra twisties. Its an excercise in minimalism. True there isnt much storage space, but theres cant be more than 2 of you anyway, how much could you possibly need. I would go as far as saying that the car is even economical, I find myself driving it instead of my Tundra because I get anywhere from 30-35mpg consistantly, AND it uses regular unleaded. Its just fun. Its supportive seats are comfortable on long trips.

  MR2 Spyder - my favorite care - 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder
  By TheMinx - November 14 - 10:00 am

  Even after almost 2 years, I still smile every time I look at my Toyota MR2 Spyder. It handles incredibly well, corners like a dream and accelerates just as I need it to. The huge wheelbase on this small car allows me to take corners marked for 25 MPH at 50+MPH without even a quiver. All the under-the-hood maintenance items are clearly marked and easily found.

  Exotic car and an Average price. - 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder
  By Peter Sidiropoulos - August 26 - 2:00 am

  Excellent car. Handles EXTREMLY WELL... power is alittle lacking, but with a few aftermarket Turbo kits to pick from. This car can get EXTREMLY POWERFUL. Nice ride, the BEST TOY i ever purchased for my self. Exotic looks, and just an overall great car.

  Fun Car! - 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder
  By Gazings - July 8 - 8:46 pm

  What a fun car to drive! There truly is nothing like a rear-drive mid-engined little sports car. Handling is awesome, and the ride is still comfortable. Styling is subjective, but I like it because it doesnt scream "cute car". You can put a surprising amount of stuff in the compartments behind the seats - makes up for little trunk room. The top is a little hard to fold down and lock in place, but once its down - beautiful. Added bonus: great resale value!

  Worst car Ive ever had - 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder
  By zak - July 8 - 2:33 pm

  I bought my Toyota mr2 spyder just last October from a dealer my family and I have bought several cars from. 2 months from the time I bought it, the transmission went. 1 month after that one of the two catalytic converters clogged the exhaust. 2 weeks (now) the other catalytic converter goes out, as well as some engine noise that does not sound so good. Everyone says Toyota are the best cars reliability wise, well Ive had 2 Toyotas so far. A 2006 Toyota corolla (new), and a 2002 Toyota spyder (used). Never again will I buy another. Sorry Toyota fans for being so negative, Ive just had some really bad luck in these hard times.

  The perfect California commuter car - 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder
  By Steve - March 24 - 9:43 am

  The 6 speed semi-automatic transmission takes a little time to become instinctive. There were many bad shifts the first week or two, but its truly a godsend in bad traffic. The car is fun, responsive, easy on gas. I can drop the top in less than a minute sitting at a redlight. If you need to haul junk around dont buy this car. There is no trunk.

  Fun Car - 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder
  By Spyderman - February 20 - 8:20 am

  Best/most fun car, Ive ever owned. Hard to imagine how handling could be any better. Reasonably comfortable, with a decent amount of room. Styling is great, always gets noticed.

  Great fun car. - 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder
  By Brian - November 30 - 3:36 pm

  Toyota makes the best automobiles in the world, dollar for dollar. This is no exception. A porsche it is not, but then again it is less than half the price of a Boxster, a quarter the price of a Carrera, and none of the enormous maintenance expense. I have placed 25K on the car, the first maintenance at the dealer, 7500 miles, cost me $86.00. The 15K service was $168.00. How can you beat that in a well made, fun, convertible??? You cant!!!
