Toyota’s MR2 has the distinction of being Japan’s first mid-engined rear-wheel-drive car when it was introduced in 1984. Despite the layout being the preserve of top-tier sports cars and supercars, the MR2 was aimed at being a small, economical, and sporty car that would have driver-delighting handling characteristics. It focused on thrifty thrills, and was more adept at carving up corners deftly, than burning rubber or dominating the dragstrip. Produced over three generations, this 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder belongs to the third generation. It’s from California and reported to have a smidge over 500 original miles, making it possibly the lowest-mileage MR2 in the US. The original build sheet and paperwork are available with the sale, as are the two original keys.
The MR2’s mid-engined layout lent the two-seater a distinctive silhouette from the side. This 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder comes in black, with its original wheels and tires, and black convertible top. This car is relatively diminutive, and its small size is most apparent in person. This also makes it very easy to drive and park and turns a lot of heads wherever you go. Not surprising, as it’s just 153 inches long and 66.7 inches wide. The interior is also in black, featuring black leather seats for the two occupants, power windows, power door locks, air conditioning and the original Toyota AM/FM/Tape/CD radio. The driver sits behind a chunky three-spoke steering wheel with a trio of white-faced gauges in front. This steering wheel features buttons for shifting the five-speed semi-automatic transmission, and cruise control is present too.
The MR2’s ethos of being an economical sports car meant that you won’t find a large-capacity engine under its rear hood. For the third generation, Toyota went with their 1.8L (109ci) 1ZZ-FED gasoline four-cylinder engine. That’s the powerplant that propels this 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder. It’s a DOHC design with four valves per cylinder, and VVT (Variable Valve Timing) on the intake valves, allowing it to make 138hp at 6,400rpm and 126lb.ft at 4,400rpm. The power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed SMT or Sequential Manual Transmission, which can be shifted by the driver through buttons on the steering wheel, or via the gearstick. This car is reported to have had all its fluids flushed and hoses replaced in June 2019.
Now here’s a car that’s the polar opposite of what Americans consider to be sporty. It’s a diminutive thing from the Nineties, with its little four-cylinder engine mounted behind the passenger cabin. Yet, the Toyota MR2 made waves in every country that it was sold. This Midship Runabout 2-seater (hence the name MR2) was produced across three generations from 1984 to 2007. Today’s 1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo is a fine third-generation example that includes the original window sticker and owner’s manual with the sale of the car. Yes it’s got over 145,000 miles on it, but let’s not forget that it's a Toyota! 145,000 miles is mere chicken feed for this era of cars from the famed Japanese automaker.
Toyota’s MR2, or Midship Runabout 2-Seater, is a small, mid-engined roadster produced by Toyota from 1985 to 2007, spanning three generations. Its rear-wheel drive configuration and excellent weight balance make the MR2 a fantastic car for keen enthusiasts who are looking to learn the techniques of performance driving, albeit at a lower level of horsepower. The car’s light weight and relatively frugal powertrains also lent themselves well towards decent fuel economy, resulting in a very sensible vehicle that was also fun. You don’t find those two words in the same sentence when talking about most cars. So, if you want something that ticks those boxes while adding a third box called “Definitive Future Classic”, check out this first-generation 1988 Toyota MR2 that’s up for sale in Los Angeles by its second owner. It’s done just 36,600 miles and comes with a 1.6L supercharged engine to enjoy in it's completely original state as it left the factory .
