MR2 ROADSTER REVS UP FOR SPRING

1.8-litre VVT-i engine, 138bhp, 0-62mph in 7.9 seconds and a top speed of 130mph – Toyota’s two-seater sports car does so much more than get you from A to B. And with prices reduced by £850, starting at £17,130 on the road, the MR2 Roadster for 2002 is now better value than ever before.

Offering a very high level of standard equipment – power steering, electric windows, remote central locking, Sony radio/cassette/CD player with four speakers, alloy wheels, alarm/immobiliser, twin front airbags and ABS – MR2 Roadster outperforms the competition in terms of what you get for your money. Why settle for less?

MORE WEIGHT IN YOUR WALLET

Prices for 2002 now range from £17,130 on the road up to £18,630 on the road for the Sequential Manual Transmission, including leather seats and door inserts, a £500 option on the standard MR2 Roadster.
