2000 Toyota MR2
MR2 styling is a current interpretation of the classic mid-engined proportions with a very short hood and a stretched tail. The MR2 rides on a wheelbase that is 7 inches longer than the Mazda Miata wheelbase. It is even an inch or so longer than the Porsche Boxster and Honda S2000 wheelbase. The five-speed shifter is good. It falls just short of the outstanding shifters in the Mazda Miata, Honda S2000 and BMW Z3, which are all front-engine cars. Routing the shift cables around the MR2's mid-placed engine apparently creates just enough drag that the shifter lacks the positive click-click feedback of sliding in and out of gears. Instead, there is a continuous light drag that masks much of the feedback from the gearbox.
