Hello!

Looking at getting rid of my motorcycle for a bit and move into cars for a while, (Been riding a few years, getting annoyed at getting wet and cold all the time in this UK weather!) so have been looking at cars to get after passing my test (I'm taking driving lessons at the moment!) I really like the look of the celica convertible, but as I'm a new driver (I am 24 years old though!) I am getting quotes of around £2200 on the internet! What is the AT200 like to drive? As I can get insured on that for £1600 on the internet (So I presume I can knock that down more by haggling on the phone!)

Also, if I manage to find a way of getting insured on the convertible is there any aftermarket roll bar or anything? The thought of flipping the car and getting mangled doesn't appeal!

Would the GT/ST be a good first car for someone who's used to riding (semi) powerful motorbikes on the road? I like to think I've got a sensible attitude, I just can't face driving a Micra/etc!

Anyway, looks like a good forum, I'll hang around with whatever car I end up with!

So you said that the Euro GT is better than the JDM version, is it the same with GT4's?

Of the JDM models only the SS-I is inferior, but the JDM SS-II 's (also GT's) have the same engine as Europe.

There's not a lot in it really.... JDM models tend to have lower mileage and are kept in better condition sometimes, but everything else is the same.
The power figures are a little higher for JDM as they have insanely high octane fuel.
