The last-generation MR2 featured the same petrol engine and rear-wheel drive, but there was an option of a five-speed manual or semi-automatic transmission (which is much rarer).
The Toyota MR2 is meant to look good and offer a fun drive, but it's also practical, providing a decent amount of cabin space.
The last-generation MR2 has a 1.8-litre engine that creates 138bhp and 170Nm of torque. It can hit 60mph in 7.7 seconds and has a top speed of 130mph, while maintaining an efficiency rating of 38.2mpg.
In the end, the MR2 was only offered with one trim. Standard equipment included electric windows, a Sony CD player/radio with four speakers, power steering, an engine immobiliser, sport seats, 15-inch alloy wheels and a leather steering wheel. The Roadster variant is the most popular among MR2 owners.
There weren't a lot of optional extras included with the MR2. The main choices were between the gearbox options, but you can find models fitted with a hard top, which is a desirable added extra.
The MR2 was discontinued in 2007, before most cars were making the switch to hybrid technology. In the end, Toyota only offered the MR2 with a petrol powertrain that was efficient and rated at 38mpg.
Third-generation MR2 models were available with either a five-speed manual or semi-automatic transmission. The semi-automatic was rarer, so they are more difficult to find on the used market.
To keep the MR2 comparable to other sports cars of the time, Toyota only offered it with rear-wheel drive. This configuration ensured the best handling.
