Here is what the 2100 lbs MR2 Spyder with a K20 (200 whp) looks like


I never did check fuel economy on that car but I can say city driving it was terrible and highway was decent. I had one of the shorter gear ratios from the 06 Si.

I had looked at the Accord trans, also the TSX trans had a magnesium case which is pretty cool, although I think the weight savings is minimal.
