2001 Toyota MR2 SPYDER review from North America
"Awesome"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is a fair bit of road noise from
the low profile performance tires, which goes with the territory for a performance car.
General comments?
This car drives like it is on rails
and also accelerates quickly. If you
liked driving go carts when you were a kid this is akin to that.
The car has been very reliable for the time I have had it. There have been
absolutely no negative mechanical issues with the car. Outstanding
Toyota quality.
If my wife wasn't pregnant I would
drive this car forever.
