2. Exterior Magnificence

There are none of those outdated hard lines and sharp edges from older Toyota MR2 sports cars generation. The 1999 Toyota MR2 got an athletic stance with pretty little two doors, mid engine, Targo top and well-balanced proportions. It’s hard to believe after two decades those lines and trims can still ride well on the road without outdated feel, but classic vibe instead, which we have seen a lot in old racing movie.

Here are some basic exterior measurements of 1999 models that we sell the most:

The front view features a pair of massive headlights which can be raised up when needed at night. These unique pop-up headlights are interestingly controlled independently, and the driver can control the up-and-down of those big headlights to look like wild winking on human’s face. Those are the most impressive on the front view, looking really intrigue, but sporty, and gives a likably thrilling feel to any auto-heads. It gives the enthusiasts a proud that they can utilize to impress anyone they may pick up on the street. The contour and pointy head design form a lower, sleeker, aerodynamically faster Toyota MR2 beast.

Two pop-up headlights are unique.

The rear and side view are so neat so clean, and lastly so cool with the muscular but lean trims that feel architecturally designed for maximum agility. Two holes right between each door and rear wheel add up to the sporty and futuristic look on the road. The tail lights are longer, coupled with turning signals stretching to the two sides of the car. There is also a large rear spoiler on the trunk to make MR2 look cool and more like a racing car. New design overall makes the 1999 Toyota MR2 look like a giant shiny bullet striding on the highways, with alloy wheels.

Side view is still beautiful after two decades.

The coupe came with a fully functioned dashboard that manipulates power windows, central locking, fog lamps, high-mounted stop lamp, and AM/FM stereo sound. Steering wheel, gearshift knob, and sound system are all upgraded with the 1994 facelift.

4.  Operational Excellence

European Toyota MR2s are exclusively installed with Toyota’s 4A-GE engine, which has already been used in the AE86 Corolla – the one that inspired today’s GT86 coupe. MR2 engine displaced 1587cc and was fitted with Denso electronic port fuel injection. Toyota’s T-VIS variable intake system was also fitted and that really was advanced technology on a small and affordable sports car. Power outputs varied market to market, but UK-spec cars produced up to 122bhp. Even a five-speed gearbox was sexy with sports cars such as the Triumph Spitfire. MGB still warm in their graves.

Maintenance is pretty straightforward.

5. Performance And Driving Experience

Follow the Toyota service schedule and the Toyota MR2 will give you little trouble. Stray away from the recommendations and you risk problems. Regular changes of the engine coolant is recommended, but be careful to bleed the system properly. Airlocks in the system caused by bleeding the system incorrectly will almost certainly lead to engine damage and overheating.

The cam-timing belt needs to be changed every 100,000 km or five years. But the engine is a free-spinning design. While a broken belt can leave you stranded by the roadside, the engine won’t be internally damaged.

The clutch is relatively heavy-footed. Clutch life can also be shortened if the car is driven carelessly. Generally it’s possible to drive for 100,000 km before replacing the clutch, but hard driving can cut that to about 80,000 km. The gearbox is generally decent, but there are reports of notchy gear shifts. Using higher-grade oil in the gearbox is the most common fix.

Tyre wear can be another problem. In details, front tyres tend to wear the inside edges more rapidly than the outside; the rears wear more rapidly on the outer edges than the inner.
