In my opinion, the MR2 Spyder never reached cult status because Toyota gave it the bland 138hp 1ZZ motor found in Corollas and RAV4's. In the early 2000's, if you wanted a lightweight high-revving Toyota-powered go kart, the Series 2 Lotus Elise with the more potent 190hp 2ZZ was the way to go. Nowadays, swapping a 2ZZ into an MR2 is a pretty straightforward task, which is what Oleg decided to do. Let's drive his MR2 back-to-back with Damien's 2005 Elise and see if it's really just a "poor man's Elise".
