The MR-2 Spyder is definitly fun and you can check mine for its fuel efficiency, but keep in mind it has certain handling characteristics that you realy need to be aware of.
With an empty trunk it is notorious for understeer, you'll end up with squealing tires a lot like that, gently lifting off helps here.
However lifting off causes excessive oversteer in this car, so you need to do all your braking before entering a corner.
Otherwise it starts spinning like a beyblade.
The only way to fix oversteer is to step on the throttle and countersteer.
Meaning if you screw up, you either do a drift or crash.
At the limit you steer it with the throttle alone.
As for practicality, it has a small front trunk and another cargo space behind the seats.
Was sufficient for a week long camping trip with a friend.
Do a test drive though, the drivers seat is not meant for tall drivers.
Generaly I would reccomend to get the hardtop, makes the car more quiet and fuel efficient on the highway.
Downside is they go for like 700-1000€.
Go for a facelift car, the pre-facelift has an issue where the oil controll rings sludge up and it starts buring oil excessively wich causes the pre-cats to vreak down, wich get sucked into the engine and absolutely destroy it.
Or you do what I did and replace the piston rings, drill the pistons and overhaul the cylinder head while you're at it.
