For sale here is my 01 MR2 Spyder, or MR-S for you JDM folk. This is a non-smoker car that I've had loads of fun with for the last two years, but I really want to get a bike for college, so it's time to let someone else see why people like these cars so much. I am the third owner and this car comes with a big stack of receipts from its life so far, the first owner was a Toyota tech I've been told, and while the chassis has just over 120k on it, the suspension was fully redone at about 50k and the transmission/clutch/fly replaced at about 80k miles, I'll have to check the records again for exact times. The engine finally oil starved on a corner after burning copious amounts of oil, and when that occurred I had it rebuilt, this was about a year ago. Runs great now and no engine light, and doesn't burn any more oil than would be expected. The exhaust did come apart a few months ago so I replaced the section with a lighter, high quality piece, but that's been about the bulk of the issues since then! Also on the subject, it came with a K&N air filter which is the only real modification.

The tires have plenty of life left, if driven nicely probably 10k, and I did the brakes only once, they barely wear! Light car benefits. It gets about 30mpg in nice driving too. Overall, this car has no big issues and is ready for a new owner, the only problems are that it needs a new top, the current one only keeps out sun, and it's cosmetically imperfect, with a slightly messed up tail light and bumper, a few dings and scratches, and a few marks on the wheels. This isn't a concours car, just a great candidate for use every day or the weekends, it'll do either without complaint. People actually ask questions fairly often, and like I said, it's fun every time you drive it. If you have any questions feel free to ask, thank you for looking.

Toyota's 'Easy Speak' Gives Parents A Voice In Backseats

Mon, Jul 21 2014

Parents often wish they could be in two places at once. A feature from Toyota now gives them the next best thing: The ability to yell at their children from a distance. The feature, known as Easy Speak, was introduced in the 2014 Highlander and can now be had in Toyota's Sienna minivan. It allows drivers to use a microphone to communicate with passengers via the car's speakers, all while keeping their eyes on the road. This can come in handy when your brood starts their territorial shoving matches. There's also an optional two way conversation mirror, which allows parents to keep check in on the action without having to turn their head around. These are welcome features. A three-week study from the Monash University Accident Research Centre in Melbourne, Australia showed that children – not telephones – are more likely to distract people while driving. Parents were distracted on 90 of 92 trips studied by the researchers, racking up an average of three minutes of distracted driving per 16 minute trip. Cell phones only made up one percent of that distracted drive time. Related Gallery Coolest minivans of all time Weird Car News Toyota Minivan/Van

eBay find of the day: Ed Begley's Toyota RAV4 EV

Fri, Jun 6 2014

You might know Ed Begley, Jr. from his Emmy-nominated role on St. Elsewhere or as one of the dead drummers in This Is Spinal Tap, his appearances on Arrested Development, Six Feet Under, and Battlestar Galactica, his reality show Living With Ed or from his years as an environmental activist (or, better yet, from previous coverage of him on AutoblogGreen). Ed Begley, Jr. has been advocating on behalf of our planet for several decades now, and the man walks the walk, too. He has done loads of work with environmental organizations. He's got his own line of environmentally friendly cleaning products. Begley is even in a long-standing rivalry with his friend Bill Nye (yes, The Science Guy) to have the lowest carbon footprint. Since 2002, he's been driving the drive as well. That's when he purchased a Toyota RAV4 EV, which is now up for auction on eBay. This car has 119,000 miles on it, but it had its battery replaced in early 2011, and it should have another seven years or so left in it. It's white with a charcoal interior, and has a little bit of cosmetic wear and tear, the normal sort of stuff for a vehicle with over 100,000 miles on it. It was in one accident back in 2003, but doesn't show any other issues. All service history is available from the dealer that sold it in the first place and maintained it since. Additionally, this RAV4 EV comes with a White Clean Air Decal, which allows the driver use of the HOV lane in California. Mr. Begley will even autograph the inside of the hood if you want him to, but it's doubtful the car comes with a Cinco-Fone. The buyer will also get to meet Begley is person and get some photos. Back in 2002, the car sold for $42,000. The current bid is $4,650 with six days to go, and the reserve has not yet been met. Check out the auction for more details.

Toyota's refreshed Sai is a Lexus HS by any other name

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

Toyota first launched Lexus in the United States back in 1989, but it wasn't until 2005 that it brought the luxury marque home to roost. But don't think that Toyota didn't find a way of selling many of its premium models in the Japanese Domestic Market in the meantime. The Lexus LS was sold as the Toyota Celsion, the ES as the Vista and Camry Prominent, and the SC as the Soarer. (We could go on, but you get the point.)
These days Lexus sells in markets around the world, including Japan, but Toyota still spins off its own versions of Lexus models to sell domestically as well. Like the new Sai, for example. Sharing its platform, hybrid propulsion and much more with the Lexus HS (which you may remember as the world's first dedicated luxury hybrid until it was pulled from the market early last year), the Sai was introduced to Japan at the same time as the HS was rolled out around the world. Now nearly four years on the market, Toyota has given it a bit of a refresh.
Boasting a far more aggressive front end and a restyled rear, the revised Sai features LED headlights, 16-inch alloys and a higher-quality interior in which JDM buyers will find a new center console and trim, along with an optional 10-speaker infotainment system. Toyota also boasts that the new Sai is made of 20-percent Ecological Plastic and recycled resin.
