	Just like a Toyota, the MR2 is very reliable. Many owners took care of their MR2s and they take them out on weekend drives but to be sure, it's good to look for signs of hard driving. Toyota reccomends regular coolant changes and care should be taken whenn bleeding the coolant because air in the coolant can damage the engine. The engine's timing belt should be changed every 100,000 kilometres or 5 years but however, the engine uses a free spinning design so when the belt breaks, the engine doesn't receive any damage.

	The '''[[Toyota]] MR2''' is a mid-[[engine]], [[rear-wheel drive]] [[coupe]] that seats two. The design of the vehicle is rather different from Toyota's other models. The MR2 is similar to more exotic cars such as the line of mid engine [[Lotus]] vehicles ([[Lotus Elise\|Elise]], [[Lotus Esprit\|Esprit]], etc...), however its price tag is much less. Gives the average car enthusiast the ability to experiance a mid-[[engine]] [[rear-wheel drive]] vehicle without needing a load of cash.
