The Toyota MR2 is aptly named for being a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive 2-seater that is fun to drive while offering good fuel economy. Toyota designers wanted the agility of a sports car in a mid-engine design. The Toyota MR2 hit the market in 1984 before undergoing three unique generation changes, the final being the Toyota MR2 Spyder which was released in 1999 before being discontinued in 2007. The last iteration boasted significant changes to the design. It was also available in convertible, emulating a roadster more than the previous coupe models.
Features of the Toyota MR2
The third-generation Toyota MR2 is a mini supercar. The new design stuck with the mid-engine 2-seater layout, giving the car its practical, sporty feel. The 138 bhp 1.8-litre engine provided the Toyota MR2 with the right amount of speed, power and near-perfect handling to please the average consumer. Meanwhile, the interior offers a snug take on the sports car design. The car is fitted with enough equipment to remain comfortable. Although, potential buyers of a new and used Toyota MR2 should be aware that not every model includes air conditioning.
Variant options of the Toyota MR2
The Toyota MR2 Spyder comes fitted with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a clutchless 6-speed semi-automatic manual transmission (SMT). With the SMT, the driver can simply shift gears utilizing buttons on the steering wheel. Additionally, the transmission automatically shifts the first and second gear while stopping the vehicle. While the Toyota MR2 stopped production in North America in 2005, Toyota has expressed interest in developing a spiritual or direct successor of this 2-door vehicle.
