Does anyone own a Toyota MR2 Spyder?
Mid engine, rear wheel drive, convertible, 5 speed manual, weighs basically nothing. Is there a reason these are only $8000 - $12000? Seems like a decent weekend car and seems to check all the boxes, why aren't they double the price?

I do not but I have a distant neighbor who has one. It is sweet, esp the mid engine, but I think most people just go for a Miata which an infinitely more aftermarket and forum support. But yea nothing really wrong with a MR2

Huh…I never thought of the mr2 that way before! Now that you mention it, you’re right, why didn’t it do better?

I was thinking about a used boxster for a weekend fun car, but the MR2 ticks most of those boxes and is like a third of the price. Also, insurance and maintenance will be way cheaper because it's a Toyota.
I think I'm gonna pick one up

Woah apparently a new version of the mr2 will come out for the 2026 season?

Miata’s are semi livable for trips, weekend luggage, tall people and the like. MR-S is not. I’m perfectly comfortable in any generation of Miata and couldn’t find a comfortable position to drive a MR-S with the top up. I’ve driven several at autocross events and they’re tremendous there, kinda blah everywhere else.

Also the SMT doesn’t have an auto mode, shifts pretty slowly to boot. That cuts down on market a ton as well.

Go to a HOT IMPORT NIGHTS(HIN) SHOW or look online. I used to work for NAPA.

W20 turbos are the best, but the W30s and W10s are cool too, just ugly af.

The mr2 is a great car i have built a couple of them. 1 was a Honda k swap drivetrain. Fun car to drive amd throw around on the track. The price im not sure why they haven't gained traction yet.

Spotted a green one I think yesterday. What years were they made?

I was considering one but settled on an s2000.

Thoughts on if the GTS in a 7 speed is more engaging than the S enough to justify the compromise in wheel selection?
