HI,
I currently own a rev 3 mr2 turbo and am seriously considering the purchase of a celica gt4 (1997 model). jsut wondering how much more expensive the celica is to run and maintain than the mr2. i know they have the same engine but the celica is heavier and 4wd. i use the car to commute and i dont want it to cost me lot on Petrol. Any views? Many thanks |

This being a Celica Forum the scale will always be on the GT4 side. The MR2 is ofcourse a very nice car. I consider it a "brother" of the Celi as they are both Toyotas and have the same engine (3SGTE)
The drawback of the 2 seats is a large one, but the rear drive, weight, option for removable top, etc make up the difference. I wouldn't mind having the MR2 in my garage aswell. As for weight, i had a serious problem registering my car due to weight. The exact weight on low fuel (empty actualy) was 1420 kg (no driver). Toyota has it at 1380 but my car has heavy 17s wheels and a sunroof. |
