Second-Hand Toyota MR2
Used Toyota MR2
The first-generation Toyota MR2 launched in 1984 and was designed to take on the Fiat X1/9 but blew the Italian car out of the water in terms of quality and reliability. There were many new generations released over the years, meaning there are quite a few variations of used Toyota MR2s for sale at RAC Cars. This car is practical, stylish and fun to drive offering all motorists the full package.
What You Get
On soft-top models, the roof is great, easy to put up and easy to take down single-handed. You can also expect a leather-clad steering wheel, air con as standard and a factory hardtop. With only the one engine and a few other options, it is easy to know what you’re getting with each one.
How it Drives
A third-generation used Toyota MR2 is light and very responsive. The long wheelbase means it handles well and is quite steady in a straight line. The steering has power assistance, electric rather than being driven from the engine, with 2.7 turns between locks. The five-speed gearbox is slick, making this very much a driver’s car. With the engine behind the driver and minimal luggage space up front, balance is excellent. Thanks to the lightness, you can get around 38mpg from an MR2 so it’s a pretty economical proposition.
