I traded in a silver 2003 MR2 in mint condition for my 2002 Boxster. It's got way more miles on it than my Spyder did and doesn't compare to the Spyder in MPG but it's the best choice I ever made. Wise choice!
Just a few things that the Boxster has over the MR2
- Horsepower (the MR2 is light so it's fairly quick but over 4500 RPMs and it's 4 cylinders sound like a model airplane on crack)
- Automatic top
- Canvas top vs vinyl (If you put your top down every day in the Spyder it wears out, cracks and peels.)
- Storage space (MR2, there's only enough room in an MR2 for two duffel bags behind the seat. The engine is in the back and the only thing under the hood is a spare)
- It's a Porsche not a Toyota
