Single owner yellow 2003 Toyota MR2 Spyder for sale. This is an amazing car, and it is only being sold because we have run out of room. This car has always been garage kept, very well treated, serviced regularly (synthetic oil). This convertible is one of the most fun 2 door convertibles ever made, and was one of the first non-exotic cars with a sequential manual gearbox. So it has all the benefits of a manual car, but shifts without a clutch. You can use the gear lever to shift up/down or use the shift controls on the steering wheel for speed.

I also added a small turbo charger (6 PSI) to this car early on which adds just that little bit of extra kick to the engine. The engine appears to have been designed to handle more power, but probably never sold enough for TRD to add the turbo. The turbo doesn't impact fuel efficiency until you put your foot down, and then it spins up quickly and gives that bit of extra power. Only down side is that you have to use premium fuel. But the high quality turbo came with an O'Grady engine management computer, which can be tuned further if you'd like (I left it at the default safe settings). The modifications include an improved air filter, and the turbo really gives the exhaust an even better note.

2003 was the year the car received both functional and cosmetic changes. The chassis was stiffened for better handling, and the lights and interiors received cosmetic rework. Also the SMT was changed from 5 to 6 gears. Never have had any accidents or issues with this car, always serviced by Toyota (even after turbo kit). The clutch for SMT was replaced around 30K as part of the turbo addition work.

If you have ever driven an MR2 Spyder you know there is nothing quite like it (unless you have a Lotus Elise), and with the extra pick up it really becomes the car it always wanted to be. A good handling car, very comfortable for daily driving, yet pretty sharp in handling. Currently has performance tires (rather than all season), but this car was never driven in the late fall and winter months (we put in away in the garage for the winter every year from Nov to April or so). Really can't recommend this car for driving in snow. But this car has an amazing heater, you can easily drive with the top down and heat on even when weather outside is around 40 degrees. With windows up the inside wind noise and turbulance is pretty low.

The manual convertible top is in great shape, works very well. The interior is in very good shape, just a small amount of age, but nothing like what you'd expect for a 10 year old car. The exterior paint is in very good shape, a few small dings and chips, but nothing major. The paint and clearcoat are in very good shape as they were not exposed much to the elements and the car always has been polished. Includes original manuals and tools.

Ask any questions you may have before bidding, happy to answer. If you want to buy the car with buy it now and want to see it before contact me to make arrangements.

2014 Maserati Quattroporte goes on a night run

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

While it was in development, Maserati rolled out its 2014 Quattroporte for a little testing, but rather than slather the big luxury sedan in gobs of camouflage to protect from it prying eyes, engineers used the cover of darkness to conceal the vehicle's design. Then they made a video about their cleverness and posted it on the Internet. The team spent some time whipping around the Balocco Proving Ground with chief test driver Fabrizio Galvan at the controls to evaluate the sedan's new drivetrain, noise levels and handling in the real world.
We got our hands on the 2014 Quattroporte last month for a first drive ahead of the vehicle's North American debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. You can read our impressions here, but first, take a look at the video below for a new glimpse at the machine's development.

Maserati Ghibli gets smashed on its way to Top Safety Pick rating [w/video]

Sat, 30 Nov 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has crash-tested the 2014 Maserati Ghibli, and the Italian luxury sedan scored has well enough to earn the institute's Top Safety Pick rating. The model netted "Good" marks - the IIHS' highest rating - in moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints and seats tests.
The new Maserati is equipped seven airbags and features strategic use of hot-formed steel to optimize vehicle strength for safety and aluminum to lower weight for better driving performance. While it still pains us to see two new Maseratis smashed to smithereens (watch the videos below), we imagine the company's well-heeled prospective owners will feel better about their $65,600+ purchases knowing that they aced the tests.
Head on below to see crash test videos from both the IIHS and Europe's NCAP, as well as for Maserati's official release, which covers some of the safety engineering that has gone into its new entry-level sedan.

Maserati Ghibli revealed ahead of Shanghai debut

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

We knew it was coming, and here it is: the 2014 Maserati Ghibli. Maserati's plan of selling 50,000 cars per year by 2015 starts with the Ghibli, which will be positioned in a more volume-friendly market against the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series. The Ghibli will make its official debut later this month at the Shanghai Motor Show.
Although our first look at Maseati's newest sedan is limited to just three images, we can see that the car will have a sportier exterior design than its bigger brother, the Quattroporte, to go with an equally luxurious interior. Under its long, sleek hood, Maserati has confirmed that the Ghibli will utilize a pair of 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engines - one gas and one diesel - both mated to eight-speed automatic transmissions. A rear-wheel-drive configuration will be standard, and the Italian automaker's new Q4 all-wheel-drive system will be available.
