I traded an 01 MR2 Spyder for my Box. Loved the MR2. Great gas mileage (30mpg city), inexpensive maintenance, and rock solid reliable. It was geared low, so it was quick in city driving (I had the 5spd). And I was able to get around in winter driving with a set of all season tires (not possible with the Box I found out). Mr Two had 48K miles on it when I traded him. I have seen on MR2 forums that they have some trouble with the cat conv clogging - might want to ask sellers about that. And there is 0 storage - not a problem for me but it can be an issue for others (either my golf clubs or a passanger went with me, but not both).
I got more questions about Mr Two than I do the Box. Plus there are fewer of them around (sold under 5K per yr). I see more Boxs than MR2 Spyders.
I suggest she gets an 02 and I will make her a great deal on a set of Motegi whls and Yokohama tires with 13K. I could use the garage space.
