I know im going to get a hugely biased opionion from this place, but im looking at getting a used car and the Mk 6 celica is the highest on my list. But when i can get a 2000 model Lancer a the same price as a 1997 celica it puts my mind into a questionable state.
Some other cars im looking at: :Honda Civic :Mazda MX6 :Honda Prelude :Nissan Pulsar :Mitsu Lancer :BMW 318i so what does the celica have over these? cheers Zoiks |

:Honda Civic - You`ll get instantly labelled a "ricer" wether its deserved or not, common as muck. Tunable, lots of aftermarket stuff.
:Mazda MX6 - Girls car :Honda Prelude - see Honda Civic. bigger engine with less potential IMO :Nissan Pulsar - Reliability issues, but alot of car for the money if you get the GTi-R :Mitsu Lancer - If you can get an EVO go for it, others are slowwwwww. :BMW 318i - Slow n common. so what does the celica have over these? Rarity, style(just look at some of the cars on this site), GT4 will leave you grinning like an idiot. Limited tuning goodies but they are out there when you know where to look. Rally car Heritage. Nothing else quite looks like them. bullet proof Toyota reliability. |

And i love the gt4 to peices but im yet to find on in g6 form for under $20k So instead, i was thinking about getting an sxr ad abs brakes (if thats possible) and get a gt4 kit. Sure it would be a far cry from the real deal but its as close as i could getfor a while. On a side note, how are the gt4 motors in terms of effiecency? I get 7l/100k in my 89celica 2L |
