I had to get a new clutch in my car so I didn't have it for a week b/c the shop was backed up. I did not know how much I would miss my car.. (94 ST). While it was in the shop I had the chance to drive all my roomies cars. I drove a 94 Honda Accord, 94 Integra, 97 Ford contour V6, 96 Jeep wrangler. I tell you from all those cars, my celica handled the best and had the 2nd best Accel (integra faster). I read all these posts how the celica handles so well and I tell you it is soo true.
The Accord took off slower than the speed of smell and handled like ****. The Jeep, well its a jeep, so thats a diff catergory(but it was fun to drive, I reccomed driving on if you get the chance). The ford was faster than the accord b/c of t he v6 but handling was **** and I still think my ST is faster off the line. It was slow. The integra had great pickup, but I didn't handle the corners as well as my Celica does. I also prefer the interior of the Celica to all the cars that above. The only mods I have are SRI, and front strut bar. I love my car soo much more now that I drove other POS's. Has anyone else experienced this and Loved your car more than before?? |

Heh...I can write a laundry list of which cars I've driven that accelerate better than the Celicas, and a big list of which cars have more power than the Celicas, but I can't write a very large list of which cars are more refined, in terms of handling, power where it counts, quality, and reliablility. Celicas are one of the longest running toyota vehicles, and it shows in the craftsmanship of the car.
I did drive one of the New Solaras, and I fell in love with them. The 4 cylinder 5 Speed doesn't have the power of the V6, but that car is fricken beautiful and is very well built/designed. If they offered a 5 or 6 speed V6 option...I would buy it in a heartbeat.... whooo! All in all, I love my Celica and Celicas in general. |
