^^scroll all the way down to read what it says.^^




picture credits to google?? o.O


======EDIT======

okay, well i went to the dealership and they had ONE of the MR2 left but ehhhh ummmm i didn't like it >.<
My parents said for cheap good cars that last, it would have to be a Toyota. I'm thinking about going towards Toyota or Acura..but idk about Acura since my sister totaled her car: *that's SOME reason why they won't allow me to get acura..GUHHHAAAYYYYY!~!












AND IT USED TO LOOK LIKE THIS....


ummm...i think what happen was that she was on the highway at night and like crossed over(somehow) to the other side right where a 18wheeler hit her car. the ONLY thing that was in perfect condition is HER car seat. IF there was a passenger, they said that person would be DOA(dead on arrival). and this happened right before my other sister's wedding T_T huyyyy~~

since i never driven one, ill just comment on its appearance. it looks ugly

i think it looks alright
looks like that new
pontiac & saturn roadster or watever the hell its called

hmm...i had a chance to ride in the passenger yesterday on the spider...
it's my sis's friend car...., instead, i chose to ride on the scion tC, cause i was thinkin of getting it, so i wanna check it out....
both race, and the spider won...i was a bit disappointed XP
scion goes perferably for show only...i love the look, it's so nice.


probably next week ill ride in the spider and check it out.
and see its performance =]

I forgot where I read this, but someone said it looks like a Pokemon.


Now...... which one was it? Im going to start with pikachu for the headlights /eyes

The MR spider is definitely faster than Scion, because it is just lighter.
I think Toyota did a half ass job on MR Spider, however if it had a the Celica GTS motor in it, it would be a different story.

put a k20a in it....

the car has good potential with a different motor. i'm not a fan of toyota motors to begin with, so i agree with v8subie to swap a k20 in it. i think with a hardtop they look pretty nice

looks nice.

yeah, i think this car is a disapointment to the mr2 line

toyota has killed itself this generation
no supra
no mr2
celica was gone to promote the TC

what happened to toyota?

I'm turned off by the appearance of it.

full trd kit, off of norcal mr2oc.

In a business sense, Toyota is doing well with the Scion sales. It's new strategy is working for them. Profitability is key for them.

also the are going towards the 4-door sedan and midsize SUVs
which people are buying like crazy....
look at the camry....outsells most cars

Toyota never got any good sales from the MR2 or the Supra so they discontinued it like any manufacturer would. Toyota is doing better than domestic automotive market by being #1 in sales. They are also involved in NASCAR with the Camry racing in the series. IMO, Toyota is based on the consumer in general vice than that one specific consensus and that's why they made SCION to cater them.

Pika Pika Pikachuuuu~

Thats exactly what I was thinking.

crap i quote the wrong person, but i agree with your thinking on Toyota about how they never got any good sales from the MR2 or Supra. I miss the Supra

i meant to quote the Pikachu, thats exactly what I was thinking when i saw that.

I enjoyed the way they drove, just takes some getting used to the view. They feel pretty well around turns and twisties so I'm a fan of them. Just the fact that their 2 seaters kind of makes them impractical for me. Go for it if you can afford it, they are fun cars.

cool car but id save the lambo doors for lambos.

some lamborghini's dont even have lamborghini doors.

I read somewhere that Toyota originally considered having this car run with the Celica GT-S motor (2ZZ-GE). When the engine hits "lift," (VVTL-i is Toyota's analog to Honda's i-VTEC) there is an abrupt (not smooth) increase in torque and power output at around 6k rpm. With the midship engine, rear wheel drive layout and lightweight characteristics, the car could potentially become tail-happy if this crossover point is reached during hard cornering. Due to Toyota's concern for safety, they decided to underpower the MR-S with the 1ZZ-FE (VVT-i) engine.


If (and possibly when) I have the money, I'd get one in black with with the 2ZZ engine and C60 transmission swapped in and other goodies (full TRD wide body kit, wider 16" wheels/tires, full C-One suspension, hard top, etc.). I'd choose this setup over getting a Lotus Elise/Exige.

But would it have the prestige and punani-magnet-factor of the Lotus?

i've always hated MR-S....ugly car. =\

and i've heard they tend to have tranny issues. Not sure if thats true or not, but thats what i've heard.

LoL I could totally imagine that. Some kid pulling a hard turn, down shift. BAM Lift kicks in and then he's face to face with me lol 180.

hello hello! thanks for all the comments ^^ i had edit it so feel free to say your ideas! ^^

I still say put a k20a in it.

your sister must of been through some crazy mini cooper to get a rsx like that

huh??...what do you mean??...

on the contrary, a lot of purist MR2 enthusiasts would say that it's the ultimate evolution of the MR2 line. forget the SW20, that car had become too luxurious and heavy when compared to the AW11.

the MR-S is the MR2's return to it's roots. and on another note, i like the way it looks; yet sadly, i cannot own/drive one where i live because it didn't pass Canadian crash-test regulations and it was never sold here.

wow...i'm assuming ur sister is ok?

that was beyond total...that was absolute destruction. (not trying to be offensive)

...but i still recommend passing on the mr-s.

hope your sister is alright. as for getting an mr2 yea go for it i hear they are fun cars to drive and if everything is taken care of right.

MR2 < Miata

Everyone knows thattttttttttttttt lol

Just comparing the price's I would definately go for the Miata.

No, this post is not biased. Just numbers guys and girls, just numbers.

word, the sw20 is the outcast.

Supercharged AW11s FTW!!!

haha well, my sister did stay in the hospital for three weeks and was in a wheel chair for two months. if she moved a lot, then she would have been paralized forever! lol. and she was also in the news for two days >.< eeek! i had to carry her to the bathroom and stuff T_T' but she is okay. just dandy!

She drove a MR2?

noooooo..she drove the acura >.< sorry late reply!

a very late reply at that

o snap everyone watch out for this torque monster. i bet theres so much torque the road under it moves instead of the car!

jp

they look okay with a hard top. but i still think the older gen was the best.

^125 ft lb tq in a 2100 lb car > 160 ft lb tq in a 3000 lb car

i found this on ebay lol

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2000-TOYOTA...tem330216956750

ahh well i never said 8s have lots of torque either. at least we have the extra 100hp to make up for it.

a toyota is a toyota, no matter what body kit you have on it. not saying Toyota is a bad thing.
