In terms of reliability, is the MR2 Spyder a typical I4 Toyota?

Any drivers over 6' (1.82 meters)?

 

I've driven one a couple times, and sat in it pretty comfy with room to spare. I'm 5'10, 165 lbs for measure

 

MR2 is comfy for sure... shouldnt have issues really, mine didnt for 6-7 years I had it.

 

extremely reliable and I think they will become collectible in the future. They are old school so there is little to no console depending on the gen you buy so it looks smaller than it is. I still couldnt fit in it but its a great little car

 

My friends 91 was good as a non turbo, before he did the swap for the turbo version

 

Great car, only knew of one that caught fire, but that was after modding

 

Thanks guys it is on my radar now for a weekend fun car.

 

I have a 2003 presently. Great car but they have their quirks and issues just like any other car. Let me know if you have any specific question and I will be happy to answer them.

 

I'm 6'2" and couldn't even swing my legs in to test drive. I found my 91 MR2 non-turbo a much better car (better looking, more trunk space).

I would skip it honestly. Or wait for the new one:

Curious now. I haven't driven one yet. I'm 6'4" 48 long 37" waist 32" inseam. 200Lbs

Some people have their height more in their torso while others are more leggy.

Do my measurements match yours at all?

 

^^^ Please post a pic...

 

i find the older mr2's are wayy better than the spyders. have you looked into them?

 

HA! did I mention I'm old as second hand dirt too?

ahh I see you're a Manila Folder! :P

 

I'd HIGHLY recommend you drive a Miata and a Honda S2000 before you consider an MR-S Spyder. Both of those cars IMO are much better choices. The Miata is great value for the $$$$, but the S2000 is a better car with more motor under the hood. Expect to pay double for a 10 year old S2000 vs what you'd pay for a Miata in similar shape.

 

One of the most fun I've ever had in a car was behind the wheel of a 2004 MR2 Spyder. Those things are a hoot to drive and I wish they sold more of them and made a successor.
