I believe the mr2 doesn't need a comeback,but instead a proper burial. I don't doubt that toyota would make a good car if they decide to remake the mr2,but I have my doubts that it would do it's legacy justice. I don't want to see the MR2 namesake ruined like what has happened with other cars.

I bought an 91 sw20 mr2 turbo just before the pandemic and it has doubled in value in just 2 years. To boot I could not be less interested in selling it. The kind of car that you just sit in the drive way and stare at. I pinch myself every time I take it out on a back road. It has the cargo space for me to carry a car cover and go for groceries no problems. Surprisingly it's also very spacious on the inside. I'm 6'1 and about 220lbs and I have plenty of leg room. Really incredible cars and still a bargain for the driving experience. I've personally found the snap oversteer criticism largely over exaggerated. If you understand how to drive a Porsche they handle very similarly to the second gen mr2s. Don't lift of the throttle mid corner, left foot brake if you experience understeer, keep the revs between 3-5.5k rmps for best response. Best purchase decision I've ever made.

Favorite gen is by far the third gen spyder, it’s the best platform to build on. Yes it’s ugly stock but would a jdm sports car be what it is without loads of modifications to make it personally your own? The sky is the limit with these cars, the fact that they are pretty much 1000 lbs lighter than most other sports cars on the road and are mid engine gives them very fun and fast characteristics. Mine has fender flares 17x9 wheels and celica spec d headlights, celica seats and is lowered over 4 inches. All that’s left is to engine swap and make as much power as I can afford and nothing out there will be able to match its performance. I love the second gen for what it did for the jdm community but my heart will always be with my spyder.

I've wanted one since I could drive. I got my licence around the time the 3rd gen Spyder came out. It took me about 15 years, but I finally got my own 2000 MR-2 Spyder and I imidiatly fell in love. I've had it for 5 years now and I've been driving it daily since I bought it. I love my Spyder! To this day I have been the only driver since I got her. I am only the 3rd owner. Super reliable. I also found a 1st gen AW11 about 2 years after buying my Spyder. It was previously run as an autocross car. They are amazing cars! I love both my cars and plan to hopefully later find an SW20 to complete my collection. I will never sell my cars. My Spyder is my baby. I would love to see Toyota bring these amazing cars back.

Alex, take a breath! I bought a 1987 AW11 back when it was new (yes, I'm that old). I found it refreshingly pure and simple; a sports car that was missing the one common element of sports cars of my youth - reliability. The car was a bit quirky with it's origami inspired styling but it was fairly light and just a delight to drive. Fast forward to 2013 and I wanted another one - problem was that they were all rusted away or modded by folks with a PB&J sandwich budget. But after awhile I scored a 1991 N/A SW20. Piled on a bunch of love and resurrected it in my (tiny) garage. Then a few years later I upgraded it to a GEN4 turbo engine (260HP). Now I've got a kick ass machine that is pure fun. I highly recommend any of the MR2 series.

8:53 that is the reason why the spyder is perfect. More Power means more weight more costs, more taxes, worse gasmilage, less are going to be produced, less will get soled because of the price. Sportscars are Not GT's. Many GT's have Sport DNA but the Spyder is a perfect car. Because a Tuner can add what is missing, losing the thing that you don't need ist more difficult.

2nd gen MR2 is my personal favorite, the last time I driven one was of course in Need For Speed Carbon: Own The City.

Well you asked my favorite generation. It’s specific but it would be mr2 2nd gen just after 1995 they fixed some of the problems with the manual steering and gave it a little more automation with steering assist and the great suspension helped too

Back in high school in '87 or so my buddy's girlfriend had an MR2 and one night we took it out and jumped it a bunch of times going down this downhill road with cross streets that effectively made it into multiple ski jumps. If you don't slow down to 10 miles an hour over the cross streets you will get airborne. Of course we hit them at like 50....That little white car flew through the air so nice.

I have a 100% OEM 93' metallic Teal Turbo T-TOP with LSD. It has been fantastic and going on 29 yrs owning no mechanical issues, perfect maint and only ever serviced by a Toyota dealership ever!. Stellar reliability and looks showroom new never driven in the snow and only barely ever in any rain over 29 years, sunny days only :). Was professionally environmentally & humidity monitored stored for 12 yrs with many classic Ford model Ts. Also had a 91' NA AT Crimson Red, 91' Metallic Blue NA 5SPD, and a rare 91' Forest Green Metallic NA AT, all were so much fun, but the 93' Turbo is the best iteration of the MK2.

The Rev 3 Turbo and BEAMS trims are far superior to the USDM Rev2 turbo by a long shot, the Rev 2 JDM 3SGE non turbo cars were about even with the USDM Rev 2.

There is NOTHING wrong with the 2.2 5sfe MK2 MR2. Ignorant people think "Oh, only the 200 hp 3STGE turbo MR2 can be fun." Well as my name states I have a NA mk2, and I love it. It has plenty of power for me, it will never be swapped ever. It gets up and goes just fine. I feel like people bastardizing cars for more speed and power is absolutely idiotic. Especially cars that can be fun with low hp, like a mk2 MR2, and NA mk1 Miata both 130 hp when new. As someone quite wisely said once, instead of modifying the car to be "fun", modify your self to have fun with the car. Ok rant over.

I love to see the MR2 and the Celica back, but they probably name the MR2 as GR2 for some reason, but if they do then the MR2 should fit below the GT86, Celica in the middle between the GT86 and the Subra, and whatever else after that, so yeah

Toyota: *makes a new MR2 in partnership with Audi, however it is a shitty, and underwhelming cash grab that looks nothing like MR2s from the past. Markets it as a return of Toyota’s more sportive side, affordable for young adults Also Toyota: That’ll be 60K :|

I used to own one wish I never sold it. Such a fun car. They need to re-introduce the MR2 with t-tops. A feature that should have never gone away. Oh, and not butcher the new design with styling from every sedan in their lineup the way Acura did with the new Integra.

@@supers0nic77 Yes get a SW20 and AW11 if you can there amazing!! My first and second car ever was a MR2 was second gen na. Not the fastest but its amazing. I still own it. It’s a 1993 NA Super Red if you click on my channel it’s on my banner, picture is a few years old but it now has a GReddy kit and it’s dipped in wicked wine color. But it’s still na and it’s just a blast to drive even though I have the turbo ones, nothing beats driving the first MR2 that got me hooked into wanting to get more of these cars.

I saw a mr2 street racing as a kid. I know that’s not smart now, but as a kid, that left such a huge impression on me. I’m fortunate to have had several MR2’s, and I currently own a NA 93 MR2 and supercharged V6 93 MR2 They are the best cars ever! I would love Toyota to bring back the mr2, but I’m afraid they’ll mess it, like Honda recently did…
