Hey everyone...I get my license in less than 2 months and I'm car searching at the moment. I have been looking at Celicas for the past two months or so, and I think they are a pretty good canidate for a first car considering what I'm looking for. Anyway, my question to you all is which Celica do you all think is best? The 6th gen. Celica GT has 135 HP and 145 lb-ft of torque, and the current Celica GT has 140 HP and 125 lb-ft of torque and the GT-S has 180 HP and 130 lb-ft of torque. I know the GT-S has the obvious torque advantage, but of those three which do you think is going to be the best to live with, most fun to drive, ect? All three are good handling, fun to drive cars which is what I am looking for, and the price is about the same give or take $6K.
Thanks -Michael- |

Since he doesn't seem to be too interested in engine swaps, or massive mods, I would say don't get a 6th gen. He wants "cheap" power, go with the 7th gen gts. It's got the power (albeit in the higher rpm's) and has tons of cheap, easy to do mods. Personally, I would like to see more 6th gens, but that doesn't sound like what you're looking for. IMO it was silly of toyota to put those engines in the 7th gens. They have almost no upgradability, they can't really go anywhere in terms of power. I mean, in 2000 they produce an engine with incredibly high CR that only gets that Lift over 6000 rpms where as in 94, they put out the 3SGE that has 3 less hp but like almost 20 more ft lbs and has all its power, all the time. Silly, IMO
