Those who miss mid-engine sports cars like the Porsche 914 can rejoice. Toyota has introduced a roadster that puts the engine back where it belongs, in the middle. It may not come with the most powerful engine in its price class, but the MR2 should appeal to people who want to put the top down and enjoy the sun in a stylish sports car.The MR2 Spyder is a fun car that's easy to live with for a good price. The convertible top is easy to operate and features an innovative design that results in a tidy look when it's down.
Toyota has simplified the buying process by selling only one well-equipped version of the car at one price. But taking delivery of one for the list price may be a challenge initially, because the company plans to sell just 5,000 MR2 Spyders a year.
