More passenger room, storage, etc... But don't know which is better performance wise... I know the others on the site could tell ya -------------------- ~Daniel~ No Longer Celica Owner.. moved on to a 03 WRX-EJ207

I think it would be pretty hard for most of us to make this judgement call as we don't have gt-four's this side of the pond from driving mr2s they are awesome cars but my gut instinct tells me I would prefer the gt-four. turbo, awd, with the 6g looks to boot... whats not to love?

The MR2 is RWD tho; which sometimes you prefer over AWD depending on what you're going to do. But the GT4 is AWD.. you get my meaning. Also, the MR2 comes with targa tops (which leak constantly I hear) while the GT4 only comes with a sunroof. The GT4 holds 4 people, the MR2 does not. On the MR2 you can get dual exhaust that WORKS!

Thanks for clearing that up boosted; I had kept hearing that it was a constant problem; like you'd buy the car in great shape but the t top would leak; and then you'd replace the seals.. and the t-top would leak.. etc

lip skirts my friend... alot cheaper and still look better than Veilside.

I would 100% hands down pick the GT4. I'm in love with the Mister2. However, its a 2 seater RWD go fast car. The Celica GT4 is a 2+2, storage holding, good-looking, go fast car. Both use the same engine (3SGTE) so thats really not a difference. GT4 if all year, MR2 if you picking up a weekender for the summer.

Good do I miss my GSX, AWD burnouts are the best

Oh Well.... I got UNDERSTEER NOW!

Who said that you can't have a dual exhaust on a GT4 that works?

With the MR2 you have perfect dual exhaust- not so with the GT4 if you set it up. The best you can do is still flawed.
