  • Great Pkg & Value. Its a Toyota .. DUH! - 2004 Toyota MR2 Spyder
    By -

    At first I was skeptical at its look, not yet a Porsche, yet not a cheap looking American Convertible at the same price. The exterior look could definitely be improved. Though I can say, everyone that didnt know Toyota had a convertible thought it was a Porsche! ;) ... As soon as I drove it, that changed everything. The ride is go-kart like along with the cornering. A great zip-in .. zip-out kind of car. The luggage space is very limited at best, at best two small carry-on bags & a few smaller bags in the front will work! Best of all its Toyota value in a tight package. Everything is standard, what more can you ask for?

    fantastic car. I have a green MR2 turbo. i am fine with the performance of it - its perfect for me. Sure, storage is almost nonexistent, but its ok for me, since I am the only 1 driving it most of the time. This car is very easy to care for. Less washing time! Its perfect! Funnnn to drive!

    The best car purchase Ive ever made! Fun, fun, fun! Drive it everywhere, and always take the long way to get somewhere. Cant keep a tank of gas in it because I miss it if I dont put 50 miles a day on it (and I dont have a commute). I take it for all my grocery shopping (including Costco) and am not the least embarrassed about groceries riding shotgun. I typically get 30 mpg in mixed (mostly city) driving, and would probably get better if I could prevent myself from having so much fun while driving. Got 34 mpg driving from Mountain View to Fresno once (a steady 80 mph--dont tell the CHP).

  • Lots of fun but only for fun - 2004 Toyota MR2 Spyder
    By -

    We bought the MR2 from the original owner with 25,000 miles. My wife really wanted one. It is a great car overall but absolutely not practical. Hardly any more room than a motorcycle. I take my daughter to school on the way to work. With my laptop bag, her and me, not much room for anything else. Strictly a car for cruising.

  • Ritas Fun Car - 2004 Toyota MR2 Spyder

    I was looking for a fun car and I got it. It drives like a dream and parks easily. I get alot of attention from other sports car owners and everyone seems to love its appearance, as do I. Even though there isnt much storage, who cares. I didnt buy it for storage. I bought it for the sports aspect and that I got and more. I would recommend it to anyone. My husband is 64" tall and fits in it easily. Even though it is small, it seems spacious and has plenty of leg room.

    I wanted a fun car and I got it. I owned a 2003 Nissan 350Z and I honestly have more fun with my Toyota Spyder MR2! I really like the Toyota name and the reputation it holds. I am very happy with my MR2 and now my Mom wants one.

  • Love This Car - 2004 Toyota MR2 Spyder

    Its a fun car to tool around in, not real good for long trips but if you can handle the lack of storage and just enjoy the ride with the top down and wind blowin in your hair music pumpin...its worth every penny i spend on it.
