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 |

Yeah 1400kg does rob the car of a better power to weight ratio and thats
with the aluminium hood, but some of us want to keep our air conditioning/ sunroofs, electric windows. I think they even reduced the fuel tank capacity on the GT4 as a weight saving attempt?. |
