They're small, fwd with a small engine, and aren't exactly 'luxury' so what is all the weight from? Similar year civics, with four doors, are lighter!

They're not that heavy, the ST is around 2,400 pounds and the GT is around 2,600. The Celica is more akin to an Integra than it is a Civic, and the Integra is right around 2,500 for a RS and just short of 2,700 for a GS-R. The GS is a little over 2,600. Though the Civic EX is over 2,600 pounds, it's only the stripped down economy version CX that's just over 2,200 pounds.
If you want something really light find you a Paseo, they're just barely above 2,000 pounds. This post has been edited by Box: Dec 29, 2017 - 9:12 PM -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
