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

what is the curb weight of the GT-4? i thought it was around 3400.... MR2 turbo bodyweight is around 2800. but the NA is only like 2500-2600, so around 800 pounds for a GT-4 vs a MR2 NA, but the MR2 NA VS gt4 is like comparing a celica ST vs a supra turbo.
