There are a couple of luggage compartments behind the seats which nobody mentions. Not huge, but you can get a couple of soft cases or bags of shopping in there.

@@Jim-Andrews-Thailand the only reasoning i can think of as to why they DIDNT put it in the spyder is because of the partnership they had with lotus and that the 2zz was the chosen powerplant for the lotus. if you think about it from a business prospective it makes sense. they didnt want people choosing the spyder over the more expensive lotus. THAT spyder would have been a easy choice to make from a price standpoint for most consumers ! why spend $50k on a car that you can basically throw a few grand at and almost have an identical platform ?

I wanted a toy car and it was between mk2 & mk3. But the mk3 won easily due to the way it drives, simples. There is luggage space behind rear seats that you didn’t mention. The prices are now rising so unlikely to get a car like that for what you paid. Very easy to work to. Just make sure you check for rust on sills & rear cross members. Surface rust easy to deal with. MR2 owners club very helpful with information.

Yes very happy with it, lovely car and inspected for rust regularly. Rear subframe totally clear. I also own a MK2 Rev 5 which I love to bits, but rust is a major problem on these, constant battle. My ultimate goal is a V6 ideally on a Mk 2. Best wishes, Jim

Same colour as mine. The 'boot' is behind the seats, they fold forward and there are two lockable doors. You can get a couple of soft holdalls for a weekend away, or several bags of shopping. Some take the spacesaver wheel out and carry a can of tyre inflator stuff instead for more space BUT the weight of the wheel helps the overall handling/stability. Tyre pressures are crucial - they need to be spot on or the car feels skittish.

Hi James big apologies missed this comment. Yes I see a few people removing the space saver to use as a boot but Im with you with the weight issue and handling. Ive got some nice 17 inch wheels on the front and regularly check the pressures so crucial. Thanks for the feedback and support very much appreciated - cheers Jim

Love the car. I live in NC so I think I would easily crash driving on the other side of the road. 😆 Some say it’s easier than the way we drive on the right side. Who knows 🤷‍♀️ Keep posting! Hopefully we will see a new video soon. Could you possibly do a Q&A video? Basically we ask you questions and you answer them on a video. If you’re interested in doing one just say so when ending your next video. Then we can comment any questions we may have and you write the questions out that you’re willing to answer and just do a video answering questions. Will help us to get to know you better. Have a wonderful week sir & a fantastic weekend! Be safe out at sea 😉

No they don't rust like MX5s, the only place to look out for is the rear subframe which rot from the inside out due to condensation build up as the catalytic converter sits next to it. It is an easy fix over a weekend and about £200 for a new subframe.
