very stable on highway; (Better than my 4gen Camry)
can do fast turn but no much body rolling; (partly due to the comfortable seats); spring is just good, not too stiff and not too soft; steering feels also just ok, not too heavy and not too soft ; Although, my ST only 110hp, each when I start at 3k+ RPM, I still get a "quick" start ![]() I like her very much. In my opinion, handling better than the Scion tC I tested. |

[right][snapback]313036[/snapback][/right] The Euro Version, still overprized. Enough Power, i love it VERY VERY MUCH. Yesterday i took a turn at 90 MPH, with my previous car i could not get passed 70 MPH. Okay that car was not lowered + Heavier and 2 cm less wide tires, but still. Love the handling.

I think the Celi handles pretty well for a sporty coupe. -------------------- ![]() |

Mini Cooper= Do you refer to the old or new mini.
Old= Very Very light. Insane small wheel base, act like a go cart. But if you mean that one u are right. Have driven it a couple of times. A 1.3 bored to 1.4 High Performance internal parts. Had about 100 BHP. That thing could keep up with me for about 60 meters. Then my engine would takeover. ONly on the straigth because in small/tight curves he would win every time!!! New= Dont know never driven it! S2K= Dont compare a FWD to a RWD. Because a FWD car almost always tends to understeer, and a RWD to oversteer. -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

MacPhearson struts are hardly considered "sporty" suspension. Those who feel the Celica is a "very good handling car" are free to express their opinion... but consider most of those have never really driven a car to its peak, let alone have driven enough different types of cars to make a sound opinion. I'd say the Celica is only a "good" handling car...

i'd agree with the above. In the sense of handling within a FWD MacPherson suspended car, I will say that our celicas are quite capable vehicles. However, this has more to do with the wide for it's day tread (205/55) from the factory with the GT/Alloy wheels
![]() EDIT- I also wonder how the SS-III's handled, seeing has they had toyota's complicated "super strut" suspention... I've heard somewhere that the super struts resemble a bagpipe to a degree ![]() ![]() This post has been edited by saleeka: Jul 17, 2005 - 8:46 PM -------------------- Car #3: 98 Accord LX- purchased 5/06, totaled 8/06
