was 6 gen ur first choice of car?
well for me i always wanted a rx-7 for performance and looks. but then my parents didnt want to spend too much on a car so i got my st for around 4g. now i really like the celica. although its weak, i like the styling and how its a more practical car than the rx-7. it is more roomy and i just like having friends in my car. but then again i would take the rx-7 anyday. hmm well heres my list in order of the cars i wanted: rx-7- rare supra-so expensive celica 6g- cheap eclipse (97-99)- i think the car loks hott, but the engine sux. ohwell |

Funny, I guess I am the only one so far that was on a mission to get a 6gc in the first place. The first car I bought when i got my license was a new 2001 ford focus zx3 hatch in yellow. it was loaded and it was really afoordable i thought, so i got it. BIGGEST MISTAKE ever. The car drove really nice, handeled really good for a car in that class, all that, but it was bulit like trash... Needless to say in the 47,000 miles I put on that car, the emissions system had somthing go wrong with it 4 times, the trassmission broke at 30,000, and the battery exploded at 14,000... And thats just the "big" stuff I had happen, not counting loose mirrors, cheap trim breaking, stuff like that... I was looking for a 6gc for almost a year when I found the one I have- I have driven a lot that were either (A) abused, or (B) too expensive. Then I found mine, it was the only GT coupe I had ever seen up to that point. It was stick and since I never touched one before, I learned how to drive one in the celica. Needless to say, in 45 min. I was out on the road driving it, and I went back the next day and bought it. It was a 1 owner driven by a 40 year old single woman from Iowa, all mantinence records, and in flawless shape for a 95. She even had the dealer sticker in the glovebox. She traded it in for an RX-8... but yeah it was the once in a lifetime find, I think, and I dont regret selling my Focus for it AT ALL. Only thing I miss about my focus was its sunroof, haha...
