Hey everyone, I’m a new driver in California and I’ve been considering getting a Toyota MR2 Spyder. I really like the car, but I’m wondering how reliable they are and whether they’re worth buying in 2026.

For those who own or have owned one:

• How many miles do these cars typically last before needing major repairs?
• How reliable are they overall?
• Are there any major issues I should look out for when buying one?
• Is it worth getting one as a first car?
• How expensive are they to maintain and insure?

I’d appreciate any advice or experiences. Thanks!
