Hello

I'm a newbie who is looking to shop for a Celica soon, is there any difference between the couple and hatch besides the visuals?

both come in st and gt models, here is the difference between them.

http://www.6gc.net/information/4

ST=7afe crap engine (1.8L 110hp)
GT=5sfe less crappy engine (2.2L 135hp)

those are the STOCK engines in 6gc's in the states.

oh, main difference... hatches are better! better sound from subs, better JDM tails, and just flat out look better, IMHO.

NO WAY! Hatch's handle better because they are shorter, and has a better turning radius.... HATCH FTW

they have the same wheel base.

coupe handle better because they have a stiffer structure, they could be lighter as well because they dont have that heavy rear glass window.

But hatch back FTW! its too sexy looking to be ignored.
