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

Furthermore, I think the GT4 will save you some money at the mechanic because the work can be done much easier. Just ask anyone with a MR2 what effort is required just to change a flat battery.

ok have you ever seen and MR2???? it takes about 3 seconds all you have to do is remove the spare tire in front of it and BAM there it is..but seeing how i own both i can give you an honest opnion the GT4 is a much more stable car. handling is a lo more netural were at the MR2 is prone to oversteer. but the MR2 is faster because of it being about 1000lbs lighter with the same motor. but either one you have they are amazingly fun cars i wouldn't get rid of either of them
