> What do you guys think about mr2 spyders? I have been looking into them a little, and if i sell my car i thought it would e a nice alternative car. They are nice looking and convertible, rwd, good handling, but only 138 hp. i looked up the 0-60 and 1/4 times, and they were said to be 6.9 and 15.7 i believe, which isnt too bad. what do you guys think about these cars? worth buying one?

I think they look extremely gay stock / 40 year old mom car.

they handle great and can turn on a dime… there really good autox cars. If your looking for a 1/4mile car or something that goes fast this is not the car for you. Also there seqential trannys kinda of ghey… the motor in it depending on what year you get 00-03 has a terrible issue with the rings that will starve the motor of oil and eventually blow up I would not suggest you purchase a model between those years.

They can go fast with a 2zzge swap but that will cost you big bucks for that and it kind of gets rid of the whole daily driver. I would also not suggest getting this car as a Daly driven car as there the smallest of any MR2 out there… sorry to put you off tot hese cars I just really dont like them.
