That even though they don't make them anymore, they are not that expensive.

Like the manual convertible top, never breaks down or needs parts, great gas, fun to drive, sporty, tons of compliments and easy to maintain,

It is very very reliable. It has always started up every morning never overheated and never left me stranded in the side of the road.

I love that that that's great handling. I love that it looks great. I love that it saves me a lot of gas.

I go places in my MR2 Spyder

My car has 175k+ on runs well few minor problems but overall care free. I met many friends at traffic lights asking if my car is a Porsche, great conversation starter. I would buy this car all over again if it were available. I would recommend this car to shorter people as the car is very small but big on fun.

2003 Toyota mr2 spyder 5 speed manual named the red devil.

My mr2 spyder is a 5 speed manual transmission. At just around 120, 000 miles I had to replace the transmission, and right after I replaced the transmission the clutch slave cylinder went out. But other than that, no issues, really fun to drive. Handles really well, and very economical on gas.

Toyota rav4. Good gas mileage, plenty of room, very comfortable.

The Toyota rav4 is an excellent car, this is my 2nd one, 2017, 2011. The car has plenty of room, gets great gas mileage, never had a problem, never returned to dealer for repair, only maintenance. The blast rav4 has all the driver assist features, some I like some I do not.

Sandy L

It is small and engine is in the back of the car.

I love the speed, and manual transmission. It looks very nice and sporty. Has awesome. Convertible top and stereo that sounds great could be bigger.

I love my mr2 spyder because it's fun to drive and handles really great. It's probably my favorite car I've ever owned. The only things I dislike about it are that it doesn't have cruise control and it doesn't have a trunk so space is limited.

I want others to know how reliable my mr2 is. I hope Toyota brings back the mr2 in the future because I think it's one of the best cars they've made.
