Toyota MR2 Spyder
Toyota MR2 Spyder The MR-S has a mid-mounted engine for perfectly balanced handling and a wheel at each corner for quick, stable manoeuvrability. The car is short at just 3850mm long - more than a foot shorter than the current MR2. The engine is a new lightweight 1.8-litre with intelligent Variable Valve Timing (VVT-i) which changes the characteristics of the engine to give more power, better torque at low engine speeds and lower fuel consumption. The gearbox is sequential and would enable changes to be made swiftly either via the conventional gear lever or buttons mounted on the steering wheel - as with racing cars - to allow the driver to keep both hands on the wheel at all times.

Toyota MR2 Spyder The interior of the Toyota MR-S has a simple and gutsy tightness, with a minimalist approach that echoes the sports cars of old. Practicality is not forgotten with luggage space provided behind the seats. But MR-S, should it ever go into production, is meant to be a car for people who want to drive, who travel light and love the wind in their hair.

Toyota MR2 Spyder The Toyota MR2 Spyder was introduced for 2000 in only one well-equipped trim level. Antilock brakes, 15-inch wheels, air-conditioning, a glass rear window, power windows and locks, and a CD stereo were standard equipment. The mid-mounted 1.8-liter inline-4 was rated at 138 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque. The only transmission available was a five-speed manual. In 2002, Toyota introduced the five-speed Sequential Manual Transmission or SMT for the MR2, making it the cheapest car at the time (by a long shot) to offer a true automated clutch manual. We found this option easy to use and liked the way it matched revs on downshifts, even though it sapped some acceleration from the engine. Without a fully automatic mode, however, the SMT's value was questionable. Given this, along with potential durability concerns, we suggest that used MR2 Spyder buyers stick with the regular five-speed manual. For 2003, the MR2 Spyder underwent its midlife freshening with minor changes to the front and rear fascias and instrument panel. The SMT was upgraded to six speeds, while the rear tires grew to 16 inches.
