Hi,

I'm thinking of getting a Toyota Mr2 Spyder. I dont know much about cars, just wondering if anyone knows the cons of the spyder and or what to look out for when buying a spyder?

Thanks

    A Toyota Spyder….?! Prepare yourself for harsh judgement. That is all.

    Carsguide does used car reviews on popular makes. Has some things to look out for Spyder Review There is also some detailed info on common problems here

    I would also say that you would need to check if the cover works, for leaks and the area around it for rust.

    Just don't use it to pick up french chicks because the MR2, when pronounced in french, sounds a like "Merde!" which means shit. Thought you should know.

    Edit: Here's some reviews

    You seem to like Honda's, why not the S2000? It might be a bit more expensive though.
    And if you like convertibles, the MX5 seems to be pretty popular.

    I would avoid the MR2 like the plague as they have terrible gearbox and clutch issues which are VERY expensive to fix; a couple of my mates learnt this the hard way. It's a shame we only got the primitive dual clutch system in Australia, they would've been a fantastic car if we got them in manual like Japan did.

    If you are chasing a convertible in a similar price range I would suggest an MX-5.

    If a cheapish convertible is what your after…Saab 93 convertible - wonderful cars

    • ATTS on 14/02/2015 - 14:53

      Actually I like the look of the Saab 93 but just wondering is Saab reliable compared to Japanese Make?

      • altomic on 15/02/2015 - 00:03

        servicing cost is the killer with SAABs.
